get your geek on!

The Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon came and went this past weekend. I was there all 3 days of the show, and had a pretty good time of it. I gotta admit, compared to other cons I've been to, it was a little smaller, and the traffic was a little slow at various times during the con, but it was definitely very chill, and a very well run affair. I gotta give props to Peter and Kevin and their Paradise Comics crew for putting together a great event! And respect due to Peter, who got his head shaved on the last day! (all for charity!) Don't worry! We got mad pictures of you in various states of shaven head. You'll never live this down!

Anyway, had fine time catching up with all my peoples in the local comic scene that I haven't seen from a while, plus some from out of town. Got to hang with Becky Cloonan and Vasilis Lolos, the two just dropped a OGN with TokyoPop called East Coast Rising. Hot pirate action! Check it!

One cool thing to note, is my buddies in the RAID collective totally fucked with the traditional convention set up(you know, 8 foot tables and chairs, maybe a big banner behind your table), and brought in their own furniture! They transformed their block of tables into a lounge area. Couches coffee tables and lamp posts. Dunno if they sold any comics, but they provided a nice rest area for the little kids to some Gameboy.

Anyway, I had a nice time interacting with some of the KC fans. It's cool to see some of the same people at every con, and it's great to see new people pick up the TPBs. Thanks to all for checking out my table!

Next stop is MoCCA in NYC on June 10-11th. And I plan to have some hot new Kissing Chaos shit on the self published tip! Definitely stay tuned!

ps-Someone brought one of their KC:NSB trades to get signed, and accidentally left it on the table. You know who you are. Please email me your contact info and I'll mail the book out to you!
