Next week

Is going to be a busy week but it should be a lot of fun. I'll be off to the University of Las Vegas to hang out and talk about SAM on Thursday 4/28. They even made this sweet banner for the occasion!
Then on Friday and Saturday I'll be at the Boston Comic Con. At the con on Saturday at 2:30 I'll be moderating a spotlight on super amazing comic artist Frank Cho. Very psyched for that. So if you're in Boston definitely check out the show. I'll be sharing my table with illustrator Logan Faerber and selling our collaborated comic book The Couch. I'll have some other surprises as well. See you there!

Boston Comic Con wrap up

Amazing time at the Boston Comic Con. It was really good to see the show growing and huge lines out the door. Heard a couple reports of 2 hour waits to get in! I suppose that blows if you're outside waiting though...not sure what the story was there.

Thanks to everyone who came by and said hello and support SAM by buying a copy of Daily Days, original artwork or just having a conversation. I wasn't bored for a minute. I even sold out of books! Special thanks to the folks who brought birthday cards (one of which I didn't realize at the time was signed by Jim Lee!) and even a cake! It was damn tasty too.

Boston Comic Con this weekend!

Gearing up for this weekend's Boston Comic Con at the Westin Boston Waterfront. This will be the largest comic con that I can remember Boston hosting. The guests are top shelf, all sorts of cool organizations are going to be present and it's always a great time seeing old friends and making new ones. I'm very excited to have Daily Days available for sale at the con. FINALLY having a SAM book for sale at a comic show is very exciting for me. If you're in Boston this weekend swing by, get dressed up in your best geeky costume and bring some friends. It's only $15 per day. Plus, Sunday is my birthday!

A busy April

Bunch of things to announce with details to follow:

April 10-11: I'll be at the Boston Comic Con at the Westin Boston Waterfront. This is going to be a pretty big show. Headliners include Jim Lee(!), Bill Sienkiewicz, Mike Mignola, Sergio Argones and the list goes on and on. Swing by and sing "Happy Birthday on 4/11!

April 18: Morgan Hill Haru Matsuri 50th anniversary festival! This event has been a cornerstone of Japanese American culture in the Southern Santa Clara area. In fact, it's the oldest continuous festival in the entire area! I won't be there in person but will be sending SAM there in my place. There will be a life size cutout of SAM that you MUST take a photo with. I'll also have an exclusive 4 panel comic strip made just for the festival that will be blown up to epic proportions as well as some other goodies. You'll have to go to find out what.

April 23: Headed down to NYC and doing a book signing for Daily Days at Giant Robot from 6-8pm on Friday! I'm very psyched about this. If you're in NYC head over to GRNY after work. I may have some surprises in store.

April 30 - May 1: ROFLCon 2010! This ridiculous event at MIT celebrates internet mimes and web celebrities like Tron Guy, Keyboard Cat, This is Why You're Fat and a whole lot more. I'm going to be on a webcomics panel. The list of panelists is still growing but a lot of webcomics creators are coming like Richard Stevens (Diesel Sweeties), Dan Walsh (Garfield Minus Garfield), Kris Straub (chainsawsuit) and Jeph Jacques (Questionable Content).

Boston Comic Con

It's all going down tomorrow at the Back Bay Events Center in Boston. The Boston Comic Con. I'll be set up with original art, a Sharpie and a six year old helper dressed like a Jedi. If you're in the area definitely swing by. The impressive artist list includes: Geoff Darrow, Walt and Louise Simonson, Herb Trimpe, Time Sale, Khoi Pham, Cliff Chiang, David Mack, Scott Wegener and a ton more!
