Stumptown Miscellany
Today, I got up way the hell too early in the morning (after staying up way the hell too late) to table for Girl-Wonder at Stumptown Comics Fest.
Now, I am utterly exhausted, and I have to be at the awards ceremony / Saturday afterparty in a bit under an hour, so I’m just gonna post a couple highlghts…
-I have so many new comics! And zines! And buttons! And friends!
-Barry Deutsch is awesome, and I am knitting him a silly scarf. Look for a review of his comic Hereville on Inside Out later this week.
-Liz Prince drew in my sketchbook! She and her boyfriend are every bit as charming as you’d guess from her comics.
-I met a really rad woman who’s in a band called Kleveland (after what someone said when he couldn’t remember the name of the islands where the Amazons live–how cool is that as a source for a band name?).
-I also met a super neat student teacher named Meghan. You’ll be hearing more about her ‘ere long.
-I think I’ve officially met Dave Stewart three or four times at this point. He keeps changing his hair.
-I fangirl Erica Moen SO hard. Last year she taught me how to make little paper stars, and this year, she had a ton of gorgeous new prints. I kind of want to spend the rest of the con following her around and just kinda basking in the awesome.
-Ooh, and she’s right next to Christopher Baldwin, whom I also totally fangirl and actually *did* hover around a bit (in a friendly, non-stalker-y way!) last year. I could just sit under their table and alternate adoring gazes up at each of them.
-Oh, and it’s not con-related, but last night, the pharmacist at Walgreens recognized my name from the fact that I assistant-edited the first couple issues of Umbrella Academy. That has NEVER happened before, and it was more than a little surreal.
No comment thread for this one, ’cause I’m utterly braindead and this is just a super-quick update; when I post a full con recap tomorrow or Monday, I’ll add a link to that comment thread here.
