Three Articles On Three Gatherings

* the retailer and pundit Brian Hibbs writes on the meeting held by DM retailer organization ComicsPro in Memphis recently. He extols the virtues of the show and why people should want to attend more than any concrete thing that came out of the meetings. I could wish for more of the latter, but it's my responsibility to get there and cover these things, so I should probably shut up. I would say that the one thing that probably kept me from attending more than any other is that the air travel from my mid-sized airport has for a while been prohibitively expensive for places not a top 10 city or Las Vegas, which I mention not for my benefit but for people to perhaps consider when putting shows in non-major cities, even great ones like Memphis.

* although he's not really talking about the recent New England Webcomics Weekend as much as general models and the overall implication of being able to publish on the Internet, Gary Tyrrell sure sounds like he's working off of the energy worked up at that recent, potentially landmark show.

* the Swiss comics show Fumetto is going on this week, and a chunk of the Comics Comics/Picturebox crew will be among the small but hearty North American contingent in attendance. Fumetto is a show that a lot of people I know want to attend because it's kind of the antithesis of the typical American show in that there's almost no commerce (I think there's one tiny set-up somewhere in town with a few books) and any industry feel seems to extend as far as the people who are there want to discuss it, which isn't much. Plus it's in Luzern, which looks like this.
