The Never-Ending, Four-Color Festival: Shows And Events
By Tom Spurgeon
* the art-alts festival
Fumetto has announced for April 1-9, 2017. I'd really like to go to that show.
*
we are creeping up on that Ignatz submissions deadline. Make those judges read your work.
* Short Run
has announced Vanessa Davis and Trevor Alixopulos as guests. Those are good-looking people.
* this weekend -- this month really -- is dominated by regional and smaller shows:
Philly,
Phoenix,
DC,
Dallas and
Albany. I know there are some comics-makers at Albany, and assume there are a few at each of the others.
*
trouble at Space City. I can't even imagine the money flow issues for a show that relies on Hollywood talent the way many of these shows do. I was sad to read that some blame was apportioned by the fans onto the celebrities who got ripped off. I know there's probably a mindset where celebrities show up for free because they love their fans, but I don't know anything about the whole slightly sad business of media stars at conventions that would lead anyone to believe that mindset is going to be facilitated in sudden fashion on one of those weekends.
*
CAKE is rapidly bearing down on us. They should have a ton of information on their site between now and next Saturday; I hope if you're within a few hours you'll consider going to that one.
*
a Mega-Con near disaster, and
a sad but beautiful Mega-Con memory for those in attendance.
* finally,
here's a cool-sounding show in my former home state of New Mexico. Love the term "indigenerds."
