KindleI received an advance copy of Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein's book Portlandia: A Guide for Visitors, and it's just as funny as the terrific TV series on IFC. Above, a trailer for the book. The book includes a bound-in zine published by the women's collective bookstore frequently featured on the show, which reminded me of the fun stuff that National Lampoon used to do.
