This Friday: King Con Party

Halloween weekend has come and gone.

But the parties keep coming.

This Friday, 11/5, Cartoon Allies will be field-tripping it out to the Brooklyn Lyceum for this knock-your-socks-off event:

 

Wake up the next afternoon and GO BACK to catch the rest of the King Con, a super-homegrown comics convention that, for $7/day or $10/weekend, will make true the words "So... last weekend... me an' Paul Pope an' some other people... were chillin' in the basement of this old public bathhouse..."

UPDATE 11/2:  A text snippet from the organizers provides more info:

"8pm to Midnite = KING CON KICKOFF PARTY / Live Comix Reading with Dean Haspiel, Paul Pope, Jeff Newelt aka JahFurry, Jen Ferguson, Seth Kushner, Joan Hilty & Joe Infurnari. DJ Pulphope (Paul Pope), DJ CrossHatch (Brian Heater) + live performances by Americans UK (www.americans-uk.com) & Charles Soules Band.  INVITE: http://on.fb.me/KingConParty $3 at the door."

SPX 2010: The Year We Made Contact

"My God, it's full of comics!"

The Small Press Expo, an annual small press comics convention held in Bethesda, Maryland, is a magical land of wonder. The aisles are congested, all concept of personal space is abandoned as soon as you wander into the hall, and the convention seems to have an ongoing Charisma debuff, but it’s filled to the brim with comics. Comics and the people who love them.
