Several Things I’d Be Doing At APE



This morning the Alternative Press Expo gets underway in San Francisco, in its new Fall weekend slot. I wish I were able to go. If you are, here's some things I would be doing were I in your shoes.

1. I would get stuff signed by T. Edward Bak, attend the Chris Ware panel, and at least one or two other D&Q-related activities.

2. I would do all of these Buenaventura Press-related things, including 1) pre-order or otherwise secure a copy of KE7, 2) go to their heavy-hitter signings, 3) go to any KE7-related programming and 4) go to their art show. During each visit I would whine about wanting them sometime in the future to start providing permalinks for their posted news releases.

3. I would go say Hi to Eric Reynolds at the Fantagraphics booth, because it's been a while since I've seen Eric for more than a few minutes. Hey, Megan Kelso is going to be there. Who doesn't like Megan Kelso?

4. I would go to any and all related social events advertised on this site today and tomorrow.

5. I would track down David King and buy stuff from him. I like that guy -- criminally undervalued.

6. I would walk the entire floor at least once, trying not to forget Fanfare/Ponent Mon.

7. I would track down Tom Neely and take one of the posters he's giving away I think for free. Or if I'm wrong about that, I would buy one. That's a panel from it on the top of this post.

8. I'd go see the the Chris Ware spotlight panel.

9. I'd go check out the Hellen Jo comic that Sparkplug's just done. I wasn't aware until a couple of days ago they were doing one.

10. I would go to Last Gasp's booth and stare at this book.
