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



By Tom Spurgeon

* I wrote a bit here about what I see surfacing as narratives post-NYCC. That's loaded with my own biases in terms of the kind of things I find interesting, of course. Kicking off with Bill Watterson's Angouleme presidency, 2015 will be one fascinating convention year, that's for sure.

* you have only one more day to get your exhibitor application into TCAF. The announcement for these was noteworthy in that the festival suggested it would make pertinence and timeliness to the moment a factor in offering up table space: in other words, if you don't have a book out and you don't have something that says in the moment, they may ask you to take the occasional year off.

* it's the Lakes Festival this weekend. A lot of people are interested in that show as a kind of community-supported event model.

* the San Diego Comic Fest is also this weekend. I'm interested in that one because I think my Mom may be moving to San Diego and that would provided a vehicle around which to arrange visiting her. Hey, it can't all be about festival strategies. Neal Adams is guest of honor, which is nice, and their ambitious schedule is here. I saw the names Mary Fleener and John Holmstrom on there.

* finally, the writer James Vance tells me he'll be participating in programming at the Tulsa Comic Con, which is what Wizardworld Tulsa is called. I enjoyed very much the one Vance panel I saw.
