FULL BLEED: VACATION ALL I EVER WANTED Did I even write up my Wonder-Con this year? It was dreadful enough that I’m not going to go check. I’ll write up a short review as a reminder: SDCC crowds, expense and hassle without SDCC sales or sunshine (or just clouds) or locale. Oh, and the Anaheim [...] Featuring Tom Neely’s masculine appendages. No, not that one. The other one. It’s still early into winter, but soon the season will open up, offering the promise of legions of thronging fans, steam-warmed hot dogs and room-temperature sodas. I’m not talking baseball. I’m talking convention season. The seeds planted last year in hastily dashed-off web [...] Going to APE. You should totally go there. San Francisco concourse. Same place it’s been forever. This Saturday and Sunday. I’ll have books and buttons. And I’m a lot more active on my tumblr now than my blog. Weird. So you might want to go there too. FULL BLEED TELL THE WORLD THAT YOU’RE WINNING, LOVE AND LIFE, LOVE AND LIFE This year I’ve gone to as many science-fiction conventions as I have comic conventions. Normally I’d have hit twice as many comic shows as I have (passed on both ECCC and SDCC this year, something I hope is just this year [...] Being a handy unionization of all Stumptown 2011 threads, since I evidently had something to say on it this year. Quick news Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Pinhead by Benjamin Marra, as sketched at Stumptown 2011 There. That about covers it. Likely the last major convention report I write this year. I know, you’re [...] FULL BLEED GOES TO STUMPTOWN COMICS FEST, part the whateverth. Here’s the thing. The Stumptown show is at a major crossroads. Which is both scary and exciting. Scary because I love the adorable ragamuffin of a show that I started my MURDER MOON campaign with. It was one of those shows that couldn’t really take [...] Part the two. Also ran into longtime friend and cohort Graeme Macmillan on the show floor, got to catch up and chat for a bit, promised to see each other and talk more sometime that day, as we do every show we’re both at and then promptly manage not to cross each other’s path the [...] PART ONE: IT SPRUNG FROM THIS FIRST ESTRANGEMENT Rain on the tarmac when I hit. Shoulda figured it, being Oregon in springtime and all that. Seemed to be hitting pretty heavy, though, almost monsoonal. Ah, Portland. Give me your food trucks, your obstinately individual throngs, your rosemary fries. Your rosemary fries in particular. Those are [...] Quick note, not the full report by any stretch of the imagination. Stumptown was a very very good show this year. It’s always good, but this year was great, at least in terms of reasons why I like to go to comic shows. Your reasons are likely very different and mileages may vary. Best news [...] PART TWO: IL PAPA SYMPATICO Occurs to me that I left a couple of things out of Saturday, the foremost amongst them being my stop at the Archaia booth, where I came across friend and mutual Speakeasy survivor Josh Fialkov. Landed a copy of TUMOR (Eisner-nominated even), which has been sifted to near the top [...] |
