Because most of us are indies! We don't
got no stinking comicsgate. |

The Ka-Blam printing T-shirt - a great
company! I get free printing cash
whenever I post a photo of me wearing
it at a show.

You won't be sorry! |

Just got back from the San Diego Comic Fest, run by the guys who originally ran the San Diego Comicon.
It's a dear little pure-comics show, full of indies and undergrounds where I fit best, one-of-a-kind isolated self-owned that I am.

It's held in the old-style bungalow-and-palms-and pools Town and Country Resort. So many old friends were there, too.
This all started when San Diego State Special Collections wanted to have Roberta Gregory down for a presentation, and to organize their adding her work to her collections, as they already had done with mine. The convention got involved, and it all snowballed - in a good way - from there.

This is going to be mostly a photo essay, with captions. I took some photos, but friends - especially Mary Fleener - sent me so many more.
The resort is done in a cheap-but-pretty Versailles style, mostly white walls, lots of crystal and gold and flowered and blue carpets, loads of pools and a killer whirlpool.
We had a lot of fun with those mirrors!

I was on a couple panels, about women's comics and gender. The usual. Tried to make them both as interesting as possible. I really should be on panels about comics as literature. I'll have to stress that in the future.

You done a good job, mom. |

Lady Shadow and me.
7 years corset waist-training. WHOA. |
Here's the panel that was filmed, at the Geekery! The Youtube links don't include the latter part of my talk - I think it may have been a bit too NSFW! Well, you know what it's like, living in a society with religious people....
Photo Credit, Mary Fleener: The rest of these are Mary's photos - and not all of them. There were a lot. It was hard choosing the best!
