Jordan Hurder From Chance Press On A Comics Event At Escapist The Weekend Of September 21st
posted September 19, 2012
 

Hi Tom - Escapist bookstore in Berkeley (that's the shop that took over the Comic Relief backstock and started up in a smaller location elsewhere in Berkeley) is putting on a "small press fest" this weekend, and I wasn't sure if it was on your radar or not. It's a two-night event with comics readings from local cartoonists, music, shmoozing, etc. Escapist put it together on super short notice (they first contacted me about it a month or so ago), and they've managed to put together an impressive line-up in that short amount of time. I attached a poster by Thien Pham for night 2 (I don't know if there's a poster for night 1 or not - there's a friendly tongue-in-cheek rivalry between the two nights right now), plus the line-up for both nights is below.
