Featured talks:
Leo Daedalus - The Late Now
Leo hosts the thinking mammal’s live late-night-style variety-cabaret-talk show. A considered fiasco for the avant set.
Vivian Hua
i like music, art, social experimentation, traveling, writing, bright colors, drawing, making up words, reading, and talking to strangers. i need healthy doses of alone time. i live life like i want to live it. sometimes it’s glamorous, and sometimes it’s hideous. i go with the flow and like to embrace the things that “chance” happens to bring. i am totally a romantic, but most people would never know by interacting with me.
Sara Mirk - Oregon History Comics
In 2009, I started on what I thought would be a quick, fun educational project: Creating 10 small comic books about Oregon’s history. My friends, myself, and the majority of Portland didn’t grow up in the state, so researching and writing these comics was a way to help build understanding of our surroundings in a relevant, accessible medium. Local arts and culture nonprofit theDill Pickle Club joined on as a collaborator and over the past two years we’ve raised $2,500, hired nine local artists, and published six of the ten comics. The box set of comics is finally being released this March 5th at Powell’s!
Ezra Spier - Where Coffee Comes From
Ezra has traveled far and wide, to plantations in South America and Africa, to see every step of the process of making coffee. Follow one of our favorite beverages from berries on the plants to our greedy, greedy mouths.
Information for the good of the order:
The deluxe accommodations at Collective Agency allow us to offer you actual dishes, although we may bring cabbage bowls for the sake of maudlin sentimentality. Bringing your own dishes is still approved/appreciated, and if you help to clean up afterward, well!
