The Never-Ending, Four-Color Festival: Cons, Shows, Events

* this Vice report on NYCC was fun, if you didn't catch up to it when it appeared. It was slightly later than most of that show's reports.

* Comic Arts Brooklyn has its programming/events schedule up: note how few panel presentations there are the day of the festival and how loaded they are. I think that's a growing trend at shows like this one. That might sound inane, but I think it is a completely different orientation to move from doing a smaller version of a big show's panels according to how many panels you can put together to kind of putting together a limited number of presentations when the creator base at the show would likely yield three times that many.

* finally, APE has announced for the first weekend in October, 2014. That is a week before the NYCC; those two shows ran the same weekend in 2013.
