Spring Literary Festival

So, I took part in the Mississauga (My home town, just mins from Toronto! I ALWAYS have to explain this) Spring Literary Festival, yesterday. All the libraries in the city showcased a number of local authors and writers. (Is there a difference? Yes.) I was one of them.

It was a bad day for such an event, thursday doesn't exactly scream huge traffic at the library, but apparently it's always held on April 23rd, so they couldn't move the event.

When I started as an artist slash writer in the comics industry, I would go to multiple comic book conventions and trade shows every year. I hit up the SDCC for like 4 years in a row when I was pumping out work for Oni Press. It was good times, but insane times. The past two years I took a break from the convention circuit to focus on writing and getting new material together.

Over the past few months I've been missing the whole convention scene. I miss everything about a con, minus the fanboy B.O. ;p

So, doing this literary festival was kinda cool, as it felt pretty much how conventions felt, despite the fact that I and my buddy Jason Loo were the only folks who had comics on their table.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting back in to conventions this year.

I will have stuff on display at the Toronto Comics Arts Festival, that is run by the Beguiling. And I'm thinking of hitting up Anime north, as a fan. And I'll probably be at the big Hobbystar show in Toronto in August. San Diego is a possibility, but that all depends on work.

So, yeah, this is sort of a nothing post. But aren't they all?

ps-sorry I didn't put any links. I'm lazy/busy today. This post could probably benefit from a speel check too. That one was intentional.
