HELLO PORTLAND! Here at ELEVEN, it is our goal to help facilitate positive change in our community, or in other words, make it awesome. We now celebrate three years (and hopefully many more) of doin' just that. Because we couldn't have done it without you, we're throwing a party on Friday, June 13 at Holocene from 6-9pm featuring a show of select art and entertainment. We will have a handful of the amazing, LOCAL visual artists that have been featured in ELEVEN, issues 1-36, as well as a musical performance by the cover feature from issue 37, Blouse. Sound good? Yes. We can't wait to hang out with you there. As always, thank you so much for your love and support, and thank you for the determined pursuit of your own goals. It takes every part of the spaceship, down to each nut and bolt, to make the whole project fly. (Oh, clichés.) Teamwork makes the dream work, and the dream of 2014 is alive in Portland. Woot! »
