Planning

Anyone looking for a room share for plokta.con? {ETA: sorted out now}


Also, bit last minute posting this here, but I'm going to the Thing tomorrow.

AKA The UK Web & Mini Comix Thing
AAKA The Webcomix Thing
AAAKA The Mile End Thing.

It's a great place to find small press comics, and meet their creators. There's a few webcomics people there too. This year they've actually got a few pannels, which they havent' had for the last couple of years.

As well as browsing work I don't know about:

I'm going to squee at: Sarah McIntyre, Caroline Parkinson, Reckless Youth, John Allison, Diesel Sweeties, and Beaver and Steve.

I'll keep an eye out for anything new by: Factor Fiction, Modern Monstrosity, Ninja Bunny, Fetishman, REET!, and Tozo.
{ETA2: I should point out that the only reason MM isn't in the squee list is because Oliver Lambden is too cool and relaxed to squee at. I shall just nod my head and say 'sup.}

I'll have a good look at these guys, who I never seem to have take the time to decide if I like, but have seen around a few times: Liz Greenfield, Octopus Pie, Kate Beaton Comics, Anders Loves Maria

Aside: The creators from the DFC have a new shared blog. Excellent.

I was going to post today asking about a room sharer too. I'd want one Saturday and Sunday nights if you're interested, a quiet room.

Cool, that's when I'd want to stay, and I don't think I'm a snorer ;)

I've sent you an email to the address in your profile. Cheers.

Might go to the Thing - will see how things go. I'm in to London to see Watchmen, and it would be a shame not to do eleventy-million other things while I'm down there :-)

The central line isn't running to Mile End, so plan ahead.

Mobile number on that locked post, if you want to give me a bell.

[cdave]

Never mind, it's only down on Sunday :)

Yay, look forward to seeing you! I'm terrible with keeping names and faces straight in my head when I'm at conventions, can you remind me that you're Crazy Dave when you see me?

[cdave]

I shall. I probably won't be wearing a trilby as I was at the last event I saw you at.

Fancy doing a talk/panel item on small press comics at Odyssey next year?

If you volunteer for that one, I'd expect you to bring along plenty of examples to project on the screen.

[cdave]

Ooh. Okay. I ought to start getting some of the review stuff too then, rather than just what catches my eye at one of these events.

I've been buying stuff for about 4 or 5 years. Since there's absolutely no demands on fixed size, they all live together in various places. No shortage of examples :)

You'll have to remind me what your real name (and email) is so that I can add you to the programme database.

Write to me judith at waveney dot org

What's the best way to show examples to people? Pictures on screen? paper copies?

Care to write me a short blurb for the Read Me?

[cdave]

Email sent.
