"This week, new reads proliferate in many local venues and varieties: Portland Book Festival posts up at the art museum, Cover to Cover brings readings to lit-friendly locations on both sides of the river, and the Zine Symposium keeps things DIY and a little radical. Plus, Shay Mirk chats nonfiction comics at Literary Arts, and the new Ursula K. Le Guin exhibition at Oregon Contemporary features her very cool purse."
"The Oregon Zoo is making this scenario a little more accessible with its fall discount days, offering half-price adult admission ($13) from November 3-9. My favorite zoo residents to visit are the " clam-dunking " sea otters, precious bebe elephant Tula-Tu ( she also knows ball ), and the army of fruit bats. Visit them and more fascinating friends for a dose of much-needed animal therapy and some TIL moments."
Portland venues present a diverse week of cultural and community events across the city. The Portland Book Festival occurs at the art museum and Cover to Cover stages readings on both sides of the river. A Zine Symposium promotes DIY and radical small-press culture.
