Late In The Game CCI Socializing Tip

The comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com has a little piece up on the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's annual San Diego party and mini-fundraiser, to be held two weeks from last night at the Westgate.

I wanted to mention it because I know that the nighttime scene at CCI can be daunting for some comics-interested attendees, particularly in that there are industry parties talked about to which one might not be invited (there are a ton on Thursday night, the evening of this event) that can make the convention itself feel like the Friday before the Homecoming dance and you're the new, not exactly Kevin Bacon kid in school. A charitable event like this one can really fit the bill: it's for a good cause, you're invited because of your ability to contribute to that cause, tons of people that you might want to meet attend, everyone that's there for you to meet is probably interesting in at least some sense, comics professionals cluster in this kind of group setting but they're usually not actively anti-social, and it's nice to stand outside on that cool-looking rooftop and enjoy the night air and relax. If I were in San Diego that evening I'd be there for a good part of it, for sure.
