Dexcon and Emo Catgirls
June 23, 2005
The emo catgirl art; someone made a comment (I guess it
was s'posed to be snide) to me yesterday about how the Catgirl poster
sells well because it appeals to the "emo" crowd. This confused me as
it didn't seem emo (there's no mentioning of being dumped in the poster
and she's not wearing Lisa Loeb glasses). So I drew that fast art. I
can't take credit for the idea of what she's saying. My ex-girlfriend
has a friend Elize (a damn good artist) who used to announce this loudly,
mimmicking a slicing motion across her wrists. Since then, Ella (my
girlfriend) and I scream "FOR YOU" at each other a lot... that, or "PIZZA'S NOT FOR
BREAKFAST!" So, thanks, Elize. I'll be sure to steal from you in
the future.
So, Dexcon 8 is
going on July 13th through 17th at the East Brunswick Hilton in East
Brunswick, New Jersey.
I cannot fucking escape New Jersey.
I'll be there, as will Bill "Kevin
and Kell" Holbrook (he also does two other comics and is both the
hardest working and nicest person in webcomics - EASILY!). I'll be
running two games - an All
Flesh Must Be Eaten game and an S*P themed D&D game (think New
Gold Dream, only more violent and occurring on time). Also, if you
pre-register for the entire event via the Dexcon site, give 'em the code
SP-DEX8 and get $10 off the price of admission - $35 for five days of
gaming.
C'mon. You know you wanna.
Oh yeah. And my phone number is changing next week, so I've posted it
somewhere on this site. Find it and call - maybe I'll answer. I think
it's posted somewhere fairly obvious, but from some of the emails I get
("How come you don't have a store?" "Why don't you maintain an archive
page?") I've learned a lot of people don't pay attention... hell, it's
been posted there for about four or five hours and no one's seemed to
care. -R |
