More Fantagraphics info: Warehouse sale

I also received official notification from Smilin’ Eric Reynolds, Director of Schmoozing for Fantagraphics, that there’s a warehouse sale in the offing.

It’s Saturday, June 28, noon to five.

Chez Fantagraphics Warehouse
3667 1st Ave So. (100 yards south of S. Spokane Street)
Seattle, WA 98134

(206) 467 4940

Discounts range up to 30% for big orders and damaged books are on the block at half-off, so pray that the forklift guys are drunk.

Scheduled guests include Hate‘s Peter Bagge (2-4p), Scary‘s Ted Jouflas (1-3p) and Rebel Visions‘ Patrick Rosenkranz.

Reports of dancing girls and male strippers could not be independently confirmed. I belive this depends, again, on the level of intoxication among the forklift crew.

Fantagraphics article in TABLET

Tablet number 70’s Wiretappingleads with my 500-word piece on Fantagraphics’ successful plea for support that hit the web – and email inboxes throughout the comics world – at the end of May.

The news is good, as I’m sure you’ll be happy to hear.

In editing notes, I noted no changes from the story I filed, although I’ve not made a detailed comparison. The title changed from my totally workaday “Fantagraphics Beats Crisis,” or some such, to “Comic Relief.”

In other news, it’s very weird to be working in the same company – even the same location – that I was five years ago. Uncanny, even. I am striving to not bust out the grizzled vet routine, as only three people who work there now worked there when I did, so as far as they are concerned, I’m the new guy.

Thus, it’s weird.
