Launch Party and KOIN 6 news



Friday May 8th we celebrated the launch of the May issue of The Portland Upside with a party at the Sea Change Gallery. It's a great space with amazing artwork! Many of the people who volunteered were there to join us in supporting a new way of looking at the news. We really appreciate everyone who helped get the May issue off the ground.

Joel Iwanaga from Koin 6 news did a nice segment on The Portland Upside for the 11 o'clock news that night. A big thank you to Joel and Koin 6! This is the link to that broadcast The Portland Upside's 20 seconds of fame is about 11 minutes and 26 seconds into the show.
