And it keeps going

So, last night (9 hours after the Comic Book Challenge ended) there was a Concert at the Cave! The Hobbit Hole was lucky enough to host the final show for Iji and Mega Bog's summer tour, and Harpo's last show for a good long while. Between those bands an awesome female fronted punk/hardcore band name Agatha played! The cave was rocked.

So, local band Harpo played their last show because this morning their guitarist Mitch (look up) took off for a trip with his good friend Captain Bones (Krista). They're hoping to eventually land at Chris Clavin's commune in Indiana. Best of luck! We love you and we'll miss you kids.









Interestingly enough, over the summer Mitch, Krista & Tony (Harpo's bass player) took me to see Iji and Mega Bog's summer tour kick off in Seattle! Beautiful, right? Totally. Know what else is beautiful? My neighbors came over to see the end of the show and give me two gallons of fresh pressed apple cider from their weekend adventure. I love life!

Someday there will be more goodies from this show to upload. For I think it's time to re-adjust to sleep and school.

24 Hours Later

The set up around 9:30 or so.


Lars Brown getting interviewed for a local podcast. I didn't catch any of their information.


Yeah, that's right, Spider Man pinata! This thing was made from adamantium I swear, took the kids a few tries to put a dent in it.

A ComicSmith Cake and then everyone working hard maybe sometime around the twelve hour mark.


Oh man. I was NOT prepared for the task of 24 pages in 24 hours. My brain is melted. I'm a jerk, I shouldn't be making a post, I should be sleeping or something.

Thank the gods I had Allen Duffy, Tiffany Harms and Jeremy Whittington. If those kids hadn't be so lively and entertaining I would have just ended up sitting alone with my headphones listening to ChipTunes and way too focused on drawing.

Yup, I was the last one to finish. Maybe someday I'll find the free time to upload my little creation (27 pages, 22 hours!)

Big thanks to Merlyns, The ComicSmith Guild, The sponsors (we had free food!), Matt, Matt, Kevin, Lars, Eric, Allen, Tiffany, Conor, Rachel, Willow, John, Jesse, Jeremy, Mr. Rufus and everyone who's name is escapes me (because I'm brain dead). It was amazing event that was really well organized and it was awesome! What an experience... 24 pages in 24 hours... the hell was I thinking?

24 Hour Comic Challenge!

So, last night I cooked some rice with half of a lime and some garlic and salt. As it was finishing up I mixed in a chopped carrot and onion. When it was finished I mixed in a little butter and some softened garbanzo beans. Tossed it in the fridge to cool.

Then, this morning, I added some chopped celery and red pepper. Toss the whole mess in a mason jar and TaDa!


This is kind of how I prepared for PAX, too. Power food! Hippie Power! Whatever! It's delicious and nutritious and I'm not going to have to worry about buying any food during the 24 hour challenge or getting hungry. Plus I'm bringing a ton of apples I picked from a local tree and some bananas.

So, 10am Saturday to 10 am Sunday are the 24 hours that make up this years 24 hour comic challenge. Starting from scratch you make a 24 page comic in 24 hours. Bam! Check out more at Scott McCloud's site. Luckily for us Spokanites, Merlyns and The ComicSmith Guild have a whole even planned for local participants! Super-mega Awesome!

seriously, I'm stoked. Catch you kids on the flip side.

Fancy Pants

Allen Duffy & Andrew Taylor both put off the introductory Art in the Humanities class until now. We had to do a project about framing our perspective on art; from Urban to Rural. This is what we turned in today.

Oh, and the top of the frame says Mysteries That Hunt and Howl and it was an awesome article in the New York Times about Coyotes.
