Saturday @ Stumptown
Posted on | April 18, 2009 | No Comments
David and I headed to Stumptown Comics Fest today. We biked, like good little Portlanders. Actually I’m getting a lot more comfy on my bike these days. I rode up to the NW yesterday (story to follow later). We knew that there would be NO parking at the Doubletree where Stumptown was held so we went by bike. There was also little bike parking, and that is when improvising comes in handy.
In case you were curious, my bike is the top one, with the pretty yellow handlebars. David’s bike has the stickers.
The festival was small, but we didn’t go to any of the events. Instead my stomach requested an audience with lunch, so we headed home after about an hour and a half. Many of the artists and comics people were super nice. We bought a few things. I got suckered into getting a graphic novel with this adorable goth girl, told my chest tat was nice, and REALLY wanted to buy this purse that was 90 bucks (I didn’t). Next year I think David is going to participate in the portfolio review, which is a fantastic feature of the Fest. I am going get more mentally prepared and actually attend the events. But it was good to dip my toe in those waters….waters that are threatening to suck me into the deep end of indie comic geekdom again.
Can anyone suggest a 12 step program for comic cuteness? Seriously, I think I have a problem.

- @KL_Grady way to be fucking charitable. I think it paid for her bad face lift. She should donate 1/2 of her money to Planned Parenthood

- @KL_Grady Yeah. I think they are more in love with their symbol & trademarks than they are in actually HELPING women.
- That's nice and all, but I think I'll let them keep their pink ribbons. I need to educate myself a lot more on who I donate to.

- I was up at 4:30 this morning to finish up a project for work. Now I'm at work and need a nap. What kind of crazy person gets up that early?
