Zinefest photos, Independent Variables show, new Zak Sally solo album, site redesign

ZINEFEST PHOTOSZinefest was pretty fun. Thanks to everyone who came. Sarah Jordet came and took pictures of everyone, so here is some of them.

Tablemate and friend Abby Mullen.

Hark! Press: Jillian Schroeder, Taylor Motari, Gordon Byrd. They are also the band Teenage Moods.
Toby Jones and Madeline Queripel: comic booking (and filmmaking) dream team. They make Better Zits, among other things.

Mome contributor and Gap model Tom K. There were big blown-up drawings by him all the gallery as decoration, which was neat.

Will Dinksi. His comic Beautiful, Cool & Irreplaceable made me feel ill, in a good way.

Zinefest organizer and Dr. Mario champ Sarah Morean by a vending machine which dispenses her little zines.

Monica Anderson reads from her brutally honest Endless Escalators zines.


Here are photos from the Independent Variables show at MCBA which I am a part of. Haven't actually seen it.



NEW SOLO ZAK SALLY ALBUMIt's called Fear of Song and it's awesome. I'm listening to it now as I have been for two days now. Listen to it streaming and read about it from the horse's mouth on the La Mano site.
The release party was a blast, especially Zak's Wipers covers band, though I had trouble hearing people for awhile after.

WEBSITE REDUX

I completed a major update (which was also a minor redesign) of my website. The main differences are combining sections, a hackjob on others, expanding/improving the store and deleting some comics to read and adding others (in particular Dark Cloud Comin' and my personal favorite, "Dear Dave", from Ghost Comics and Side B). Please let me know if you have any critiques or problems with how it runs.
