CAPE! 2008!
Jake and I went to CAPE! 2008 this Saturday in Dallas. CAPE! is an annual comic convention that is every May 3rd (which is Free Comic Book Day). To get an idea of what it was like there are a few flickr collections you can look at: here, here and here. The event was sponsored by Zeus Comics that was right next door.
The event is basically 4 or 5 large tents lined with comic book writers and artists. Almost everyone had a book they were selling and a lot of them were doing comissioned sketches. It was a good chance to chat up some intersting people and to see lots and lots of talent.
Jake and I each got a sketch from Josh Howard and a print from Ivan Flores. They’re pretty awesome. Many free comics were had and other sketches were commissioned. Other people are talking about it too!
Afterwards Jake and I raided Majestic Liquors and bought most of the New Belgium products they had in the refrigerator. It is delicious and tasty.

Thanks for the 1554! I must say New Belgium always impresses me with the beers that take to mainstream distribution. I have not had one I didn’t like.

Is that a fancy way of saying you didn’t like the Sour Brown?

Yeah, I really didn’t but I drank all of it anyway!
