Your CBLDF Various Events Update

* for some reason, I keep forgetting to mention that the Christopher Handley case was postponed. No firm date has yet to be set. The CBLDF is supplying supplementary legal expertise and witnesses to the defense. Handley is being tried for having in his position comics material that may or may not contain instances of child pornography. The trial was scheduled to start this week.

* you can attend a fundraiser for the Fund ($5 members/$10 non-menbers) this Thursday evening. The CBLDF can always use the extra funds, and as a lot of people in comics take their free speech rights seriously, these are usually well-attended events with a lot of comics' best and brightest.

* the CBLDF's Executive Director Charles Brownstein talks some here about the fundraising implications of the changes in the yearly con schedule that will take place with the addition of the Chicago convention organized by Reed Exhibitions.
