Go, Stare: The Extended Weekend In Super-Interesting Events

* the Hillary Chute-organized gathering of comics titans that was the Comics: Philosophy and Practice event at the University of Chicago (alma mater of Jessica Abel and Ivan Brunetti) dominated a lot of folks' Internet check-ins over the weekend. I'm going to assume that any archiving of the live-streaming footage will eventually be discoverable from this site. For now, you can read some of the tweets sifting their way to the surface about the show or just stare at this photo like I have for the last 20 minutes. The great thing about the twitter coverage of this show is that the audience was stuffed with comics smarties and the presentation format kind of encouraged people pulling stuff out and tweeting about it.

* Charles Brownstein went to Tokyo to participate in an international symposium on the kinds of issues with which the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund concerns itself in North America. That made his Facebook account worth checking. I assume there will be something more substantial up at the Fund site soon.
