Two Things About This Banned Books Week Event With Larry Marder & Scott McCloud Tonight In San Diego

The first thing that jumped out at me about Larry Marder and Scott McCloud discussing Banned Books Weeks in San Diego is that if you're in the area, I hope you'll go. Larry and Scott are both articulate men that have given a lot of time and energy to support free speech and anti-censorship concerns. This is a big week for the CBLDF in terms of mainstreaming what they do into more general efforts by a variety of organizations, and this is as high-profile as anything they're doing. You'll have fun, I'm sure.

The second thing that made me think is that Comic-Con International doesn't do a whole lot of events outside of the core conventions they run. As a co-sponsor here, there's a possibility that they will make this kind of participation a bigger part of their overall year. I'd be all for that.
