MIXI will be appearing at the first annual Minneapolis Indie Expo at The Soap Factory at 518 Southeast 2nd Street on Saturday, August 21 from 9AM-5PM - free to all. I will be speaking on the panel "Paranormal Activity in Comics" at 11AM with Tim Sievert, Sarah Becan, and Will Duff from a show called Ghostbustin' 911.
All weekend's FREE programming busts with fun, including a 6-8 Friday night signing at Big Brain Comics (1027 Washington Ave. S.) with hometown heroes Zak Sally and Will Dinski, and Chicago's Aaron Renier; after, the MIX kick-off party continues at the 501 Club (501 Washington Ave. S.) with perennial accordian & musical saw favorites Dreamland Faces, my sometime collaborator Reynold Kissling's Robots from the Future, and a group I've heard good things about called The Great Confinement. The next day there will be an actual comics event which should be good. Renier, Kevin Cannon, and minicomics godfather John P. all give talks.

2D Cloud will appear with the fourth and final issue of their anthology Good Minnesotan, in which me, Renny Kissling, Maddie Queripel, and other buds appear.

MIX is co-organized by buddy and former MPLS Zinefest organizer Sarah Morean and St. Paul Craftstravaganza organizer Andy Krueger. Having tabled at Zinefest, I expect a lot of fun, and I believe there will be coffee and treats for sale by The Donut Collective.

I hope you can stop by at MIX and say hello. I'm real happy to be stomping by my old stomping grounds, and I look forward to seeing you.
Best,

Ed
