[neenjah]

Hey gang-

I've just been added to the guest list at the-
3RD ANNUAL CAPE GIRARDEAU COMICON



April 26 & 27, 2008
Cape Girardeau, MO
SEMO University Student REC Center
Off Broadway.

Looking forward to this show. It's a smaller convention, but has got some great folks lined up for it- some I've gotten to know at other shows like the PHX Cactuscon and Metropolis. Should be a pretty relaxing show.

Guests include:

Jonnie Allan - creator/publisher The Miscellaneous Adventures of STYKMAN™
www.akacomics.com

Mathew Atherton - (a.k.a FEEDBACK)

Cullen Bunn - The d**ned
www.cullenbunn.com

Rick Burchett - Eisner award-winning artist on animated adventures of Batman comics

Gary Friedrich - creator of The Ghost Rider

Brian Hurtt - artist for The d**ned series.
www.thebighurtt.com

Roy Thomas - comic book writer and editor, and Stan Lee's first successor as editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics. Currently edits the fanzine Alter Ego.


I'll have copies of Bushi Tales #1, 2, & 3 there for sale, as well as the new BT trading card sets. Will be doing a panel with Jonnie Alan on self-publishing. Looking forward to that- I always learn something new when I talk to that guy!

Like other cons this year I'll be handing out a limited amount of BT trading cards each morning, as well as BT buttons while they last. (Edit- I'm all out of buttons until Metropolis.)

If you're near the southern MO or IL areas slide on by- it's not too far from Metropolis, IL or Lambert's Cafe in Sikeston, MO. Mmmm...throwed rolls!

Oh, I need to start thinking about what I want signed at the show!

If you get a chance to check out Wizard magazine this month (Angelina Jolie or Red Julk covers) be sure to visit the Wizard Edge section of the magazine. Bushi Tales is in their "Great in '08" section.





Jonnie Allan/Stykman are also featured! Jonnie and I will both be at Cape Girardeau in April.

Totally cool Wizard mention! I'll have to snag a copy for you to sign next time we see you.
And I'm glad Ken took my advice and invited you, even though I gave him your e-mail address last year.
Hope it's a good one!

Ok, you're the third person to tell me that they gave Ken my info!

Nice to have friends who will pimp for ya- thanks!

Hope you and Gina are doing well. Will you be able to make Cape-Con this year?

Lin

[timewalker]

mmmmmm...... probably not. I think that is the weekend she should be getting out of the neck brace, so we'll probably still be hanging out at home. Maybe Metropolis though.

PS - I also pimped Antone, Janet, Adam, Penny, Kev, Greg, Steve Stanley, etc....

[neenjah]

Cool- thanks!

Hope you guys can make it up to Metropolis. Waiting to hear who the final comics guests will be. Can't wait to meet Allison Mack!

It's only a couple hours away from Memphis and very worth a day trip on either days- and is just past Lambert's off I-55!
