[Noisebridge-discuss] Come see me at Alternative Press Expo

[Meredith Scheff]

Friends!
I want to invite you all to the Alternative Press Expo, happening next  
weekend at the concourse exhibition center at 7th and brannan.
(comic-con.org)
Most of you know I am a cartoonist. This is my favorite event of the  
year, and the only local one I sell at.
APE is a convention for indie/diy publishers. Cartoonists from across  
the country, proffesional and not, sell their books, crafts, and art.  
A vast majority of these works are hand-made and not available in  
stores anywhere; many never see second printings.
  This event has been huge influence on me (and every cartoonist I  
know) for the last 10 years. It was the first show of its kind and  
still of the largest. I started attending when I was 15 and have been  
exhibiting for the last 5. This show is comprised almost entirely of  
artists, not distributors or stores. Often the people selling the  
books are the artists that drew, wrote, copied and stapled the books  
themselves.
Even if you would normally not have interest in comics at all, I urge  
you to come. There is art, crafts, and a ariett of amazing unique hand- 
mades.
We as a community love to support local artists, and this is one of  
the (sadly) few times you can do that for cartoonists.
I've been working every spare moment to have a slew of cool art for  
you- I'll have 3 new books, original paintings, prints, and more. I'll  
be at table 531 with pal DocPop. I would really love to see you come  
to this event that means so much to me.
My best
Meredith, AKA the LadyCartoonist.com
