VORTEX MUSIC MAGAZINE
JULY/AUGUST 2014
THANK YOU!
THE MONTH OF APRIL WAS ONE CONTINUOUS FUNDRAISER AND NOISEMAKER FOR VORTEX MUSIC
MAGAZINE, BUT WITH THE SUPPORT OF MORE THAN 120 BACKERS, WE SUCCESSFULLY FUNDED A KICKSTARTER AND OUR DEBUT PRINT MAGAZINE HIT THE STREETS OF PORTLAND ON THE FIRST OF MAY.
Thanks to those who supported our Kickstarter, you
now have issue number two in your hands. This magazine has been a harrowing and humbling experience so
far—but it’s also been unbelievably rewarding.
Thank you to the local businesses, artists and organizations that helped us launch our Kickstarter in the first
place, and thanks to our staff, writers, photographers
and designers for your ingenuity and dedication! Then
these words are just filler words to flesh out the example.
We’ve uncovered new cogs that make the Portland music scene pulsate, heard from bands and business own- Thank you for samle text filler text sample text filler

of the Rose City, as well as across the state and Pacific
Northwest.
All of this is evidence that the open, supportive community we covered in our first issue is alive and well.
Therefore, we will continue full steam ahead with our
mission to document and engage in the Portland music
scene in an effort to support those who have supported
us.
