panels and gutters

Emma had the camera so these are presented for feeling.


Pulp Fiction comics was pumping, Peter the owner, had done a good media blitz (radio and street press), he got some people dressed up and roaming the city giving flyers and stickers out and had a massive sign out side the shop.
He also was having a sale on comics for cover price, so being cheap, i picked up some sleepers, blade of the immortals, bipolar and Tom Strongs. I grabbed the Alternative comics and Comic Festival freebies too. (and even though it had 'sold out' superman was able to fly to New York and grab me a copy of the Star Wars freebie - featuring nicola's work - woohoo)

I ran into Owen Heitmann there and we walked to the pub


As always there were new faces and some old ones. People tend to split into two groups, the people that sit around and draw and the people who sit around and drink. i can't draw.


Things I discovered
-sometimes porn videos are returned with lube still on them
-Andie Tong did a pin up in blade of the immortal #100
-Michael D is working on a Lost in Space 300 page graphic novel
-In australia, the predator, would be predo and his weapon would be a pint glass
-Chatted about challenge prizes with Peter
-At these things i always drink too much
-that Australia's only member of H.E.A.T. (the hal jordan something something team) lives in adelaide
-Brian Bendis dialogue is really easy to spoof
-its hard to define what a spoof is to someone who worked at a porn shop without laughing
-its hard to describe the award i won without sounding like a wanker

(i was too woozy by now to work the Google camera so knock yourself out)

So everyone had left, so me, simon and owen went to mcdonalds for dinner. Except someone had stolen Owen's bike seat. Now of course the harder you try not to laugh the more you laugh. So i was pissing myself, and laughing quite hard as well. (sorry owen).
Owen had a long walk home.
after eating it was back to the pub where i watched the band, waiting for emma to pick me up.

Then i decompressed watching Rage, (where was my poker channel 10!!) and thought about the trades i would buy the next day.
