Pop Sandbox launch party - May 9th

My friend Sarah passed along an invite to the launch party of Pop Sandbox at the Pilot Tavern. It is in conjunction with TCAF (Toronto Comic Arts Festival) this weekend, which the very busy Beano will be manning the doors for.

I will let Sarah's voice explain the rest, "The first project that Alex is publishing is a graphic novel about Igor Kenk; the notorious bike thief. He and my friend Jason were filming and interviewing Igor for over a year, right up until his arrest in 2008. Interesting stuff."

Do make an appearance, and make sure you make it over to the Toronto Reference Library this weekend and take as many pictures as you can of Beano in her attractive TCAF t-shirt. I know she will love it.

If you dig small press, graphic novels and/or comics, you should definitely check out the Toronto Comic Arts Festival next weekend (May 9th & 10th)! Even if you don't think it's your bag, you should drop by because you might see something there that changes your mind.

And it's FREE!!

This year, I have volunteered myself for the event. So, if you do show, you'll be able (at the very least) to heckle me while I run about in my bright red TCAF shirt -- ushering co-dorks to and fro.

For those of you with ankle-biters -- there's gonna be a whole kids section w/Owl Magazine on site & a presentations/activities room on the Sunday.
