One Month Out

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, as I write this we exactly a mere one month away from the big show we lovingly call SPACE 2009. Which means I've got to get busy. Not only will I most likely be posting more frequently as the fateful weekend draws nearer, but I also have to get ready for the show itself. This includes putting together a new book of Wasted Potential strips to attempt to sell, and maybe reprinting last year's book, as I'm down to fewer than ten copies. As for this blog, I've got the promised interview with Nate Powell upcoming, as well as a couple more exhibitors who've tackled the dreaded 10 Questions, plus other news and developments as they pop up.
In the meantime, if you're reading this, you're probably already planning to attend SPACE, so why not get your tickets in advance. Until April 5, you can get discounted advance tickets through the SPACE web site. This link will take you directly to the page where you can order them.
You can get a single day pass for $3.50, as opposed to $5. if you just show up at the door, or a whole weekend pass for $5.00 versus $8.00 the weekend of the show. For even bigger savings, Bob is offering a package of ten single day passes for $25.00 or ten weekend passes for $40.00, which is half the day of show price. Why, with prices like that, you can buy tickets for everyone you know. Or even people you don't know. It's a great way to make new friends.

'Book 'em

So, you're probably wondering what happened to that idea I had about updating this thing at least once a week. Well, about three weeks ago, I temporarily lost my ability to connect to the Interweb from my home computing device. Once that got cleared up, I spent a lot of time just pissing around on the nets.
Like today, fer instance. At the suggestion of several so-called "friends", I went and got myself signed up for the Facebooks. I've been spending the whole day working on my profile and finding people I know to beg them to be my virtual friend.
I had been somewhat reluctant to join the Facebooks, 'cause I did have a MySpace and really wasn't thrilled with it. First off, MySpace pages take forever to load even if you have a high-speed connection, which I do not. Facebook pages pop up a lot faster.
And it's easier to find potential friends on Facebook. I found several fellow cartoonists, as well as people from my high school and college days I hadn't seen in decades.
What, you may wonder, does any of this have to do with SPACE? Well, not much, really, though there is a SPACE group on Facebook that you can join to keep up on news about the show (in addition, that is, to this blog, of course.)
Next week, I'll try to have some info on a few of this year's exhibitors to post.
