Stand-Up Comics Weekly Mailer, 10/27/09
Posted by Eric on Tue, Oct 27th, 2009
The Short of It:
1. Unshaven Comics at the Lansing Public Library TONIGHT!
2. Tribute to Michael Jackson
3. Halloween party '09!
4. New This Wednesday
1. First up, just a quick reminder of what I mentioned last week --
our good friends and beloved comic creators Unshaven Comics will be
hosting a workshop on comic creation at the Lansing Public Library
TONIGHT at 6:00 PM, and they'd love to see you there! The library's
located at 2750 Indiana Avenue, only a block off Ridge Road. You can
come and check out various pages at the penciling, inking, and
coloring stages and get some cool insider info.
2. This week, Bluewater Productions releases their Tribute to Michael
Jackson: The King of Pop biocomic (is this a word? It should be). This
book has ALREADY SOLD OUT of its first edition and is going back to
press for a second printing. We expect this will be a really hot book
and we'll handle it the same way we did with the earliest Obama comics
-- first come, first serve! So make sure you stop by the shop tomorrow
to get a copy!
3. Another reminder from last week: this Saturday is Halloween and
(by strange coincidence) also happens to be our Halloween party! Come
out to the shop between the hours of 4 and 9 PM on Saturday for free
candy and refreshments, free comics, games, a costume contest WITH
prizes, and sales throughout the store! We'll also be hosting some
special guests -- a team of local webcomic creators whose project, the
zombie-based webcomic Zeke is Hungry, (www.zekeishungry.com) goes live
the following Monday! You can get more info on the event at our
Facebook page (www.facebook.com/standupcomicslansing) or grab a flier
at the shop. And remember, this event is family-friendly, so feel free
to bring your little ones -- we've got plenty of free stuff for them
too!
