\nOn July 28, 2012 I exhibited at DC Zinefest. I believe DC has had zinefests perhaps over a decade or longer ago, but as far as I know this has been the 2nd year of this version of the DC Zinefest. You can read last year’s recap here<\/a>. This year was similar in terms of location and the same time of year, which is good to build a steady presence as event promotion. A highlight as an exhibitor was that the organizers were kind enough to collaborate with Everlasting Life Cafe to provide free vegan lunch to all exhibitors. Getting a free lunch doesn’t happen very often, so I was excited that the event planners were able to arrange this. <\/p>\n

I got to chat with Liz Suburbia, Katie Omberg, Deanna Echanique, Full Sanction, Rob from Panel Patter (here<\/a> is his DC Zinefest Recap), and a bunch of new faces. There seemed to be a lot of zinesters from Philly and other cities that made the travel to DC for the show.<\/p>\n

Another highlight was premiering the brand new issue of Magic Bullet #5<\/span>, Washington, DC’s comics newspaper. This is the first time the issue had a theme – and since it’s 2012 – we all did a spin on “The End of The World.” Joe Carabeo and I did a Black Magic Tales<\/span> story on the center spread in color. Be on the lookout for the newspaper around town. Curls Studio will have them at Baltimore Comic-Con, SPX, NYCC, and a bunch of future events we plan to be at. I have some more announcements to make soon about future issues of Magic Bullet. Stay ‘tooned.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Rusty from Full Sanction<\/a> for the photograph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
