Now, if you'd like to party and see all the new books in person they'll be available on Friday night at the Guapo Comics & Coffee extravaganza. For more info on that you can check out: www.guapocomicsandbooks.com and take a look at the flier for the event, which is a giant reading and Kukoc awards ceremony. Reading at the event will be: Vanessa Davis, Jon Chadurjian, Coleen Frakes, Julia Gfrörer, Jason Martin, Hellen Jo, Calvin Wong and Corinne Mucha There will be all kinds of stuff going on there.
And then, ALL weekend Sparkplug and the Bad Apple (a store I run with Tim Goodyear) will be exhibiting at the Stumptown Comics Fest. We'll have tons of obscure and weird movies, books, t-shirts and comics. You basically need to give me an excuse if you can't make it.
