Tonight: Two rad comic related events in Baltimore

Justin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:13:56 +0000

What are the odds? Two rad comic related events tonight in Baltimore!

Wednesday, November 18
7PM. Free. Red Emmas.
Mount Vernon, Baltimore.

Our all-time favorite Latina punk-rocker-illustrator-novelist is back on tour and headed to Red Emma’s on November 18! Fresh off the European Sister Spit tour, Cristy Road is travelling the nation reading from new work and presenting new illustrations to delight and disgust. Her repertoire consists of ten years of independent publishing, two graphic novels, and countless illustrations for a broad slew of magazines, record album art, concert posters, and political organizations. Absolutely iconic work, filled with images of real people doing real things – explicitly NOT the representational model of human perfection that Western art teaches us to expect. Don’t miss this one, you’ll be glad you came.

Wednesday, November 18
7PM. Free. Atomic Books.
Hampden, Baltimore.

Paul Hornschemeier will discussing his new graphic novel collection All And Sundry and Jay Ryan will be talking about the new book collecting his rock poster art, Animals And Objects In And Out Of Water.

Ok so I tried to log into Blarg a few days ago and it was totally fuxed and I couldn’t log in. Now, magically, it’s working again. Oh Blarg, how I missed you. A lot has been happening, so here goes, in no particular order:

Dead Venues is launched. Possible mention of it in the Sun this weekend.
Had an awesome weekend at the beach house with Raven and the fam.
Geoff and I settled on Soft Cement as our band name. We’re done recording the EP and only have one more mixing session. Packaging is gonna be tight.
I launched the super secret Beatbots Digital. Currently hosting the Small Sur album and soon hosting the Soft Cement EP (Think About It).
At work I’m redesigning the UI for Cellblock and it so far it looks mad sexier. We’ll be launching that some time next week probably.
Speaking of work. Big things in the haps with NBC / UNIVERSAL.
In an effort to get more involved with the IRL, I’ve joined up with the kids at the Hexagon Space. I’m real stoked on it. I’ll be working on the space, book shows, web programming, promotions, etc.
September 8th is my 27th birthday. Feel free to buy me something awesome.
September 13th I’ll be running a Beatbots booth at Hampdenfest (”MEATROTS”). If you have a tent that you’d like to lend me, holler!

In other news, I was watching the Obama speech tonight and who should I see on the TV in the audience, but sis Caitlin McD. Surreal!
