“Keep Portland Monstery”
“Keep Portland Monstery”
A mystereous Krewe of Monsters musters, as cardboard, paper, paint and cloth are reassembled in garages and basements all around Portland into wondrous new forms: apparitions richly laden with horns, tentacles, tusks and tails, or others starkly skeletal or even alien in their glued and taped-together configurations...
Do YOU hear the gargle-growl or rumble-roar of the Monster Rumpus? Will you warm up your glue guns and rev your sewing machine motors in preparation to join us??
