Princeton Comic Makers Weekly Roundup #23
Summary of the Last Meeting (7/10/2024)
There were so many new faces last night. Welcome everyone! And apologies for the late email.
Griz Grobus readers: the next meeting, which was supposed to be yesterday July 10, will be pushed back to tomorrow. So if you haven’t read up to chapter 49, you have more time to do so! You can read it online here, or check out your library or bookstore for a print copy.
If you have free time on Saturday, July 27, from 11:00-4:00, the Lambertville Comic and Zine Con will be taking place in the Acme Screening Room at 25 S Union St, Lambertville NJ 08530. From the Acme Screening Room website:
The Lambertville Comic and Zine Con is a celebration of DIY press. Focusing on artists and writers creating self published and small press works. The event draws artists from throughout the Mid-Atlantic region to Lambertville for one day only.
Masha will be tabling there! Stop by and say hi!
There are 2 things coming up next year (so no rush, no pressure!) that we would like to get interest checks for. One is making an installation project for the JetLAG Festival. Project proposals can get grants ranging from $50-$1500 (application form here). These installations do not need to be super intensive; when Masha went, there were many installations made more or less entirely of prefabricated decorations. Do note that the Festival does involve camping in the semi-wilderness with limited internet access, so if this is not your jam, no worries.
The second thing is that we are looking for a venue that we can rent to host a 24-Hour Comics Day. Ideally this would be on Saturday, October 5. If you have any ideas, please let us know! Thank you to everyone who already gave us suggestions!
Bonus
Flame Con is coming up, August 17 and 18 at the Times Square Sheraton (811 7th Avenue, W 53rd st, New York, NY 10019)! Masha will be tabling there, if you want to go say hi.
Anime NYC is also coming up! August 23 through August 25 at the Javits Convention Center. Chris, Masha, and Suyang will all be sharing a table. Come say hi if you want to!
