BEFORE I FORGET :: Things Which Are Happening Soon.
WUXTRY WUXTRY! Presenting three things of interest to all of those people who just CAN'T GET ENOUGH information about young Dustin Harbin:ONE! I'll be appearing at the Small Press Expo on October 4-5, in Bethesda, Maryland. This will be my very first comic convention as a guest, not an organizer or comic book seller, etc., which is very exciting for me. Even more exciting is that SPX is super-fun regardless of why you're there, and it'll be fun to see some of my cartoonist friends from across the wide world. I'll be sitting with Chris Pitzer of AdHouse Books, who published my 12-page Kid Medulla story in the recent SUPERIOR SHOWCASE #3. Also in that issue is the well-dressed Jim Rugg, who I believe will also be sitting with us. Not in that issue is the potentially-inebriated Josh Cotter, whose SKYSCRAPERS OF THE MIDWEST hardcover is garnering praise from nearly every corner. Except mine: that reminds me, I need to finally sit down and read that thing. Anyway, me, Josh, Jim and Chris will be sitting together and meeting you all weekend, so bring it.
TWO! It looks like I'll be one of four AVERAGE JOES on our local NPR station's (WFAE) show "Charlotte Talks." They have these once a month or so, where instead of talking to people who know much about anything, they talk to people who know a lot about nothing. You can see how eminently qualified I am for this conversation. I believe things will be focused more or less on this fall's election; I need to provide a list of potential topics I'd be interested in discussing, so if you have anything to suggest, please suggest away in the comments below.
THREE! Tomorrow is my mother's birthday. I'm not exactly sure how old she'll be, as that number has been shrouded in mystery all of my life. Even my older siblings, who are in their 40's, can only make educated guesses. Out of deference to my mother, I would estimate her to be about 17 or so. I love her very much, and will be helping to fete her this afternoon at a WILD PARTY out in the country.
BONUS TOPIC! Interpol still sucks. I think they always sucked. Why do people like this band so much? It sounds like five people banding together to push mediocrity to new heights. Dullsville. Let's not even talk about it anymore, ok?
BONUS TOPIC TWO! I have posted more new art from my sketchbook on my Flickr stream, which is a veritable cornucopia of delicious mastery of the cartoon form. Gaze upon my works, Interpol, and despair!
