There were great events, talks, and just a bunch of wonderful creative people at the show. Thunder, lightning and a downpour turned into a beautiful autumn day, the bright yellow trees around the Seattle Center fountain sparkling in the sun, and as the sun set, the winter lights came on. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This report leads off with the beautiful railing art across from the Fisher plaza, detailing the history of the Duwamish people's area. There are 85 panels in the metal sequence, making it a very large and durable comic book.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">BE SURE TO SCROLL TO THE END OF THE PHOTOS to see the beautiful Hmong regalia. I'd seen Hmong people strolling around the area all day, and only at the last minute discovered they had an exhibit in the Seattle Center Armory. They were gracious enough to give me a chance to get a few photos, even in the middle of their busy takedown.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The evening before, Fantagraphics Bookstore presented the usual author party, that's always such a treat at ShortRun. For more details, and even some interviews, including with the delightful people pictured below, check out the ShortRun episode of my podcast, A Bazillion Ghost Stories.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I was amazed it still existed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">First of all, let me show you a photo of Jack Moriarty's band, Misery Whip. They were wonderful. I'm not necessarily fond of country, but when it's done well, I enjoy it. I've been watching Jack play since his guitar was bigger than him. He plays the pedal steel, too. The band is really something. The lead-in band was Jack Habegger's Celebrity Telethon, which was - well, if I can describe it - kind of like if Laurel Canyon went HARD rock. I really enjoyed those guys. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Then we'll have the mural photos. I expected the colors in the deer mural to fade to autumn, because we'd been running out of paint as we got to the right side of the art. But somebody's been doing more green trees on it, which is just fine. I was amazed to see any of it was left. The street kids originally suggested the deer, and the bear, and the two cubs, which they named Frick and Frack. I think the stream is new, too.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Appropriately, the homeless of Bremerton seem to treat the area around the murals as a forest sanctuary. Yeah, there's a lot of tagging, but what the street kids can't reach, still remains. It looks cool and pleasant. Enjoy.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJslYQZA5VqxWPmx3MuvFox9nCH22J3fzapgYx1zET7bVYrOT_ZoNNi57KYK5AAbzFSilRtTtVhGY9v0nYGhbP0szNMo5Ph4shGnl6cjc2Ncp18ds-8Q443NfRAiykn6dVQy5aazo7BXEFUPMu5X4soCnnsVgrEDyo6-AUNaQXfLvPlu7B3tXz8xPe0JQ/s640/Jacks%20band.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I was later at Pat Moriarity's art gallery show, also in Bremerton, at the Ridgeline cafe (no photos posted of a gallery show, of course). But photos of a few friends are included at the bottom of this post. It was really nice to see Pat again, and David Lasky - both long-time colleagues and dear friends. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Got to talk to the Parks people, the Zine Fest organizers, and the Bremerton </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">mayor, about maybe hooking up with SquatchConPA, so the two shows support each other and each other's communities. You know me - Little Miss GoBetween.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This really should be a better report, with more and better labeling, but it was 91 degrees Fahrenheit all day in that field, and hot for the rest of the evening, and the brain don't do so good in the heat. Every time I regret moving up to Clallam Bay, because it's so far away from my friends and industry, the weather reminds me of why it was a good idea.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'll do a better job in the podcast.

For some reason, it doesn't feel so exposed as so many mall shows do. I think it's because it concentrates in the central hallway, and the tables all come with fitted black floor-length covers. It gives it a concentrated, connected feeling. So here are some of the vendors and tables. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are two shows a year, one in April and one in November. Plenty of free parking at the Kitsap Mall. A nice little show, and one that adds to the world of comicons out here on the west end of Washington State.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">You can see the artwork I did in thanks for SpankyLoco at </span><a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/82300532">Olympic Collectibles Expo, 2023 | Donna Barr on Patreon</a></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;">SpankyLoco, presenting me with a print I admired. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnokfI6jJmY3Xaztp3FGr4n06e-DOxsQ8Oqenwx__2wwNCsH9P6etfLP1nxOQMhmjXkLNO85VTjXXn-RMaT4aYI5TY4qK5VIwJAT7-nqFJhtrEFmubkNZ_CtWroI0vhxEq_HOa_Urid1yF-RaF7zryOvZve9w7aHoX1lWNk_8qZ_FfxImSCg9MLGQ2/s4032/01%20SpankyLoco.JPG"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnokfI6jJmY3Xaztp3FGr4n06e-DOxsQ8Oqenwx__2wwNCsH9P6etfLP1nxOQMhmjXkLNO85VTjXXn-RMaT4aYI5TY4qK5VIwJAT7-nqFJhtrEFmubkNZ_CtWroI0vhxEq_HOa_Urid1yF-RaF7zryOvZve9w7aHoX1lWNk_8qZ_FfxImSCg9MLGQ2/s320/01%20SpankyLoco.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Our little cat Kiki passed away in 2021. I didn't even realize until I went back to see the photos, and saw which folder they were in. Kiki's story is pretty complete on Facebook for that year. Her passing was a fight, but she was so happy to Dr. Pat when we finally took her in to let her go. Her little face relaxed, and she smiled and was gone. At least she got to enjoy Halloween with her little rat buddy, and catnip on pressie papers, as is traditional in our household. She was the last of our cats, and we haven't had any since. MAYBE.</span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOFTC9xWHNTTlhGzjpcvrAZ1OX518_x_skFRGyLLCVyV6tTSMy-oshMRCRhOXrfpbx-fXUd5N8P5svhqbOUfsofDPtWpWZktf5K3Q4NXrK1R1wamKM7Ty60o2ily5tr0NdmA4Yqu0B-_D_Ka_QG8lm2zfE3IAEFWVZ6uGwrkdsTqwg4JJqIOUCOH1v/s640/IMG_2969.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

And I always show their tshirt at convention, and each time get $10 print credit. It works - I've printed enough book for shows, and am still in the black! So here's my Ka-Blam shirt at the Olympic Collectibles Expo. The guy who took the photo is Steven Valentine, of Comic Rat.

I had fun saying "Welcome to the comicon!" to surprised mall wanderers.

There are photos all over social media of this event. The tables sold and number of attendees, including for panels - including very professional cosplay - were like for a six-year-old con. In it's first year, it outgrew its space bigtime. I ended having a double title: SquatchCon Outreach AND Fairy Godmother. I am all over this thing, having the time of my life.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is what the organizers say: <span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">“So weirdly enough, we're going to be looking for another venue for Squatchcon after all. Between the outdoor issues and hallway crowding, the building owner felt that it was literally too successful for our space. Stay tuned!”</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Next year, the convention plans to split into two simultaneous events, SquatchCon, and NerdCon.

So Thursday and Friday, if you don't do the convention, we can say hi in person! I'll be organizing meet-ups, parties, and listing events, whether they're part of ECCC or no. I go home Monday morning.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you have any event you'd like me to attend, or a dinner, or a party, let's list it here, so I can get really organized.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">See you in December! OOH, Christmas decorations.</span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">The Little Store: http://donnabarr.blogspot.com/2007/04/my-emergency-website.html</div>Donna Barrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16904536331777669867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888091845778631069.post-53386455835370969162021-02-04T17:41:00.004-08:002021-09-01T13:43:20.051-07:00I Want To Come Back As One Of My Cats<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MzBiPGObCYw/YByg1Qp1OiI/AAAAAAAAEJM/kInptt0R8RsKpIP3nI7am5TjPK0hRIEWQCNcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_2402.JPG" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MzBiPGObCYw/YByg1Qp1OiI/AAAAAAAAEJM/kInptt0R8RsKpIP3nI7am5TjPK0hRIEWQCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2402.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jim, Yellow Bear, and <br />Teeny Puppy.

It's one thing to see story ideas or characters that resemble each other, because there's been a lot of genre-borrowing over the centuries.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And then there's some very specific stuff that is so oddly the same you start to wonder.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My comics, The Desert Peach, and Stinz, have had a world-wide audience for years. I'm beginning to wonder if other creatives who know my work - especially writers in much more recent film and animation - are throwing little Easter Eggs to me. I would be so delighted if they were.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I can't prove this. Just take a look and think about it.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">ZOOTOPIA: There are a bunch of stupid wolves guarding the secret project. In Stinz, there are a bunch of bachelor wolves my fans call The Stupid Wolves. They even look somewhat like the ones in Zootopia - and they're about as bright. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sIC71rizXqw/YBdO8wVE9ZI/AAAAAAAAEHo/Xsz3ndOqarooWCtqQnupeBFEEfgiHxmNgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1183/Stupid%2BWolves.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="369" data-original-width="1183" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sIC71rizXqw/YBdO8wVE9ZI/AAAAAAAAEHo/Xsz3ndOqarooWCtqQnupeBFEEfgiHxmNgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Stupid%2BWolves.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I wouldn't think that was enough to prove those are my images - but look at the secret installation on the lake with its causeway, and then look at the mill and the mill-race in Stinz. The two things together have me wondering. What do you think?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ls1lC-YqosY/YBdPelKRS5I/AAAAAAAAEII/ojJiNN6bvGM7Qh9cy-5WpJrJainV-O-QQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1165/Stupid%2BWolves%2Bmillrace.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="493" data-original-width="1165" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ls1lC-YqosY/YBdPelKRS5I/AAAAAAAAEII/ojJiNN6bvGM7Qh9cy-5WpJrJainV-O-QQCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Stupid%2BWolves%2Bmillrace.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">THE HATEFUL EIGHT: This is really an oddly one. In Tarantino's movie, Sam Jackson shows up as a man who famously served in the Union army as a Major. So he's the Black Major. That's just one point - but his old enemies have a ransom on his aging head? Stinz was the Black Major - and had a ransom on him. And had gotten old.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7QFZRSrLS08/YBdQR45ZW3I/AAAAAAAAEIY/e9a-78tLPnIk_vh4kZCWTb86fBqeEPnpQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1168/Black%2BMajor.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="615" data-original-width="1168" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7QFZRSrLS08/YBdQR45ZW3I/AAAAAAAAEIY/e9a-78tLPnIk_vh4kZCWTb86fBqeEPnpQCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Black%2BMajor.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">FROZEN: I know there's a reindeer in the original Snow Queen. But the role of the reindeer and the person who rides him is much more like Udo and his reindeer in The Desert Peach. What do you think about that in addition to the birch trees?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NrBaqtj9Trs/YBdRf_UbBRI/AAAAAAAAEIg/BbiSD9-8SK0sQbMKCVZEquXYgnOZwf9mgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1189/Reindeer%2BBirches.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="736" data-original-width="1189" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NrBaqtj9Trs/YBdRf_UbBRI/AAAAAAAAEIg/BbiSD9-8SK0sQbMKCVZEquXYgnOZwf9mgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Reindeer%2BBirches.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">THE GOOD LIAR: This one is sensitive. First and foremost, the REAL bad guys in that movie are the Nazis, that screw up two families SO BAD. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">"Taub" is commonly a Jewish name in Germany. Jews who were officially Germans - yes, the Nazis took over the roll of the Rabbis in saying who was Jewish - served in the German army. They could visit their official Jewish relatives in camps before the war started, and all access were closed to the camps, which were then devoted to extermination. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Taub's relatives seem to have already died in the camps. This is a weird complex idea, and you see it in The Desert Peach, between Udo and Leutnant Winzig.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It's what makes the movie even more horrible.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was done on the little Paint program that came with the puter. For learning purposes, it's perfect. Got me working with automatic hand movements very quickly. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Not a lot of brushes or colors - but what do we usually have on our drawing table, anyway? You know it's just that little cup full of brushes and markers and sometimes scissors or a screwdriver).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Paint doesn't have layers or anything (although it DOES have a kind of 3-D option. Hm. I see the next thing I'll have to do is figure out the keyboard options for emojis. 😁 And now I have).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I seldom print out anything because - well, why else have a puter if you're going to be piling up dead tree scraps on your real desktop?

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This little Windows computer shows a huge improvement over my expectations of 10 years ago (TTS). If you want a nice little computer for basic needs and a pretty nice tablet, all for about $700, you could do worse than an Acer Spin.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If anything makes it, it goes outside in a couple plots. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The peppers are doing surprisingly well. I think these are from seeds one of my readers sent me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The sweet potato is the one I used to clip starter sprouts from. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The black tomatoes are the continuing generations of tomatoes I rescued from a drie-out plant in a tiny plot at the edge of a small Capitol Hill park.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The avocado won't get much of a life. It's being grown for the leaves, that will be dried and ground for a kind of filé powder. It's related to sassafras.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next to it is a plant I have no idea about. Another sent in by a reader probably. I'll plant any old thing, labeled or not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The wild tobacco is mixed with leaves from alder, mint, coltsfoot and raspberry leaves. I have chronic bronchitis. Medicinal smoke helps keep my lungs from tipping into pneumonia.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The aloe is because we have a wood stove, and if you have one of those, you get burnt once in a while. Grabbing a leaf and squeezing the gel onto the burn sure helps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's not a lot of gardening. Most of that is masses of kale in the garden. We cook it in everything, for iron and calcium. Marinated overnight, it makes good salad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's about all I can grow up here without a real struggle. Slip point has a cold, dry, salty wind all summer, and is too wet the rest of the year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi, everybody! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know I've got a lot of information about upcoming conventions, but all of them are only possibilities at this point. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like Emerald City, the folks who run these conventions are responsible people. They're monitoring the situation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I expect Olympic Collectible Expo to be at least postponed, because it's in the Kitsap Mall, and is much closer to Seattle, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">There is another event coming up in Port Angeles in early April - that I don't know if I can share yet - and they are monitoring as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">AnimeKat (the Port Angeles store and nerd central) and OCE on Facebook are the best places to check out what might be happening. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So everybody stay safe, wash your hands, sanitize all surfaces. Let's get through this the best we can.</span></div>

The <a href="http://sdcomicfest.org/">San Diego Comic Fest </a>is a heck of a show! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Held at Sheraton at 4 Points in San Diego, it makes about 2000 people very happy. Everything about it is classic comicon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
First up is Pam Jackson, Pop Culture Librarian (She got to make up her own title) at the San Diego State University, at my table in the artists alley.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
AND me in my <a href="http://www.ka-blam.com/">Ka-Blam</a> shirt. They are the best drawn-book floppy printer, and only about a dollar more per issue than '80's prices! High quality, friendly and helpful. You can't go wrong with the Blamster.</div>

Diana Leto and I ran the "Girls Can't Do That" panel. We were told we had the panel only a week before. There was some scrambling, but we got our art files together, and with my moderator chops and Diana's tech expertise, the panel was fast and furious and funny. Audience member Buzz Dixon told us "this was the best panel" he'd ever attended, and took our picture. Mucho gracias, Buzz!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mary Fleener did even better with the Underground Panel. Her, me, Roberta Gregory, Trina Robbins, Bruce Simon. QUITE the lineup. Again, well-organized, ran fast. At the end, an audience member threw a wad of cash at Mary and said, "Take everybody to dinner!"</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Never in all my years going to hundreds of conventions has the floor been hotter. 4,000 people crowded into the Fisher Pavilion in the Seattle Center, and they were there to BUY. They wanted books, tshirts, facetime - they were in the moment, and ready to party. Thank Goodness my Square reader was working!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The photo is of Hoo-Hah publisher Bruce Simon, who offered, among other books, a truly well-done collection of the classic <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hoo-Hah-Out-Our-Way-Williams/dp/1686663404">Out Our Way</a> cartoons from the 1930's. We got on so well we've shaken hands on sharing a table next year, if ShortRun will have us both back! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I told him he MUST submit the Out Our Way books to the <a href="https://www.pulitzer.org/page/how-enter">Pulitzers</a> this year, in the publisher category. The books meet all their criteria, especially being a very well-done collection of a wonderful American series.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He came up from Berkeley, and was unprepared in a number of the business points of running a table at a show, because - according to him - the comics scene in San Francisco is badly faded. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I told him to run right over to this site and look up the <a href="http://donnabarr.blogspot.com/2016/07/clallam-bay-comicon-home.html">Clallam Bay Comicon</a> and start the process of running his own one-person minicon. The secret to this is, after about seven years of what is really quite easily organized, somebody else will want to take it over and expand it, as happened with the CBCC, which has morphed into the Forks <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/rainforest-art-center/raincon-2019/2192611774327707/">RainCon</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So, anybody in Berkeley or environs who wants to help out, look up the book on Amazon,* where there's always a contact email block.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">*(I'm sorry for that - so many of us put our books on Amazon before it went asshole).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I missed the afterparty again because I was just so exhausted. I have a lung infection, and am on antibiotics. So I can't drink anyway! I should have just made up my mind to Uber* home, but I'd only used Uber once, and my brain was fried from the intense show. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">**(AND I will have to transfer to Lyft, because Uber's CEO is calling the murder of a journalist by his Saudi shareholders a "mistake." We know what Friends' Rachel had to say about mistakes. Which is sad, because I really like Uber.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I did make it to the Fantagraphics afterparty Sunday evening, which featured an interesting music/animation from Berlin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sunday, there were two great ShortRun events downtown and on Capitol Hill, featuring Shortrun authors. And did I just pick up an opportunity to talk at the University of Washington? We'll see.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ANYWAY, I was dreading the bus ride back home on Monday, but not because it was a bus ride- Clallam County Busses are fabulous - but because it was Veteran's Day (Properly called Armistice Day, before America got mad about losing the Korean War), and rural areas get stupid. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BUT - it turned into an opportunity to POSSIBLY start the gay pride festival in Port Angeles. I can't share how, because it's Somebody Else's Story.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But I can share how I walked by the old vets selling vet stuff in front of the Safeway and said, "We're going to try to have a gay pride parade in Port Angeles." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Their answer? "All RIGHT!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I will certainly be back to ShortRun next year, especially if I can run at least a quarter table. That's a privilege. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I suggested she do abook about CAT relay-racing and her eyes lit up. At first she thought that wouldn't be possible, but I told her to look up Russian Cat Circuses on YouTube. Cats will do anything for cold-cuts. Who knows what she'll have at the next show?</span><br />

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">San Diego Comicon. My
publisher and I open a box of books we'd received just in time for
the show. Because our printer was always perfect and pristine, this
is the ONE time we didn't ask for a proof copy, in order to make the
show deadline.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was in the days of
paper layout. We literally waxed certain elements into place. As we
pulled the first copy of the book from the box, we saw – the waxed
title logo had fallen off the front cover, and the book had been
printed without its title. It had shipped all over the world AND IT
HAD NO TITLE.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was a Desert Peach
issue dealing with rape in the military. The cover art I had done was
graphic and frightening. Staring in horror at the book with no name,
we looked up to see the first approaching fan. With a copy of this
book in his hand. We braced ourselves. The fan lifted the book, and
said, in awe:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“This is so profound.
You let Donna's artwork speak for itself.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While I was still
standing there with my eyeballs and tongue stuck in place, my editor
responded – cool as a copperhead:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Yes, it was a
difficult artistic decision, but I trust Donna in her vision.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I jumped right in and
pretended along with him. I am still in awe of his quick thinking and
outright gall.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do I have to tell anyone
my publisher – as a child in Texas – went to cotillion?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What we learned: if the
fans think whatever you do is wonderful, agree with them. It doesn't
matter if you've made a mistake. If they're happy, say Thank You and
pretend you meant to do that.</span></div>
