No additional developments to report, though I should have big
news for those of you who prefer print to touchscreen later this
week. However, there are two things coming up next weekend I wanted
to promote, even though I won't be at either one.
Although most of this blog's readers are from the U.S., I know
there have been a few folks from Europe reading this, and some of you
might be in the area, so: Willow, who did the wonderful cover art for
the first Monkey Queen novel, Of Introductions And Abductions, will
be appearing at the Festival Harajuku in Paris this coming weekend,
September 13 and 14! Look for her at the Collectif Pin Up table.
She'll have merchandise for sale, including the new fanzine 101010,
which will feature the first chapter of her BD (graphic novel) The
Journey Of Earth! Get more info at http://festivalharajuku.org/
, and as always, see more of Willow's work at
http://willow-san.deviantart.com/
. And if you do go, tell her that Michiko and Beth sent you. And
post her reaction in the comments. :)
And also on September 14, John Kovalic (the mastermind behind the
great Dork Tower webcomic, and artist for Munchkin and many other
games) will be taking part in the Bike the Barns ride, to help raise
funds to help needy families in the Madison, Wisconsin area buy
healthy, locally-sourced produce. He's raised over $9000 as I write
this, and as a result, he will be riding the entire 60 miles with
Cthulhu tentacles strapped to him, and a duck on his head. (And a
Republican Dalek drunk-tweeting his ride. Really.) (Though I was hoping
there would have been a “Duck chases him for 60 miles swinging an
axe, with 'Yakety Sax' Benny Hill music in the background” stretch
goal. Maybe next year.) Anyway, you get some great swag for backing
him, and more importantly, it's a great cause. Get more info and back him at
