Springcon '10 + good-bye to Arise!

I'll be attending the Twin Cities's Springcon (formerly Fallcon) this weekend, May 15-16 (10-5 both days), at the MN State Fairgrounds. I'll be tabling with my friend "Little 'Ric" Schuster, or perhaps "Tall Sean" Lynch... I signed up last-minute so I'm not sure. You can recognize me by the above self-portrait. I'll have Decorum, the Muppet-themed Stitching Together, and Ghost Comics for sale.

While I'm in Minneapolis, I'll be saying congratulations to my friends graduating from my old school, MCAD, as well as saying good-bye to the radical bookstore Arise!. Arise! was the second store to ever stock my books and has been a great support to me, including hosting the Ghost Comics release party. All of Arise!'s stuff (including their furniture and shelving) is heavily discounted this week, ending with a bonfire goodbye at dusk on Saturday. However, a new progressive bookstore, Boneshaker Books, is coming to the area this summer.

MSP love is all around.


Thanks to John P. for reminding me of this by posting on facebook.

My cousin Dave once told me that when it was going around that some of the guys in Hüsker Dü were gay, "'Everyone said, 'It's totally the guy with the moustache!'"
