I run the programming for TCAF, so when people at our parent company ask me how the convention went my general response has been, 'All the programming happened!  Pretty much on time!  And people came to it!'  I realize that this may not be a good summary of the show as a whole, though.  Possibly Read the Rest…

We are not going to be exhibiting at TCAF this year, which makes us very sad, as we like it so.  But in lieu of that, there are going to be many :01 personages there for you to interact with.  So you should do that, especially as they are awesome.  :01 Books You Will Be Read the Rest…

So cute!  Can we get recaps for everything that ever happens in comics format, please?

Aaron Renier is absolutely awesomesauce, and I dare anyone to disagree with me on this front.  I would offer to fight about it, but the above self-portrait Aaron sent me makes me think that he and his dog would do a much better job at it than I would.  So: if you disagree, you can Read the Rest…

  You know what we're doing on Monday? Having a party! Or rather: the good people at Greenlight Bookstore are having a party for us.  Because they apparently think we are awesome.  (The feeling is mutual.) If you're in NYC, be there or be square.  7:00 on the dot on Monday night; Greenlight is at Read the Rest…

This is where I will be this weekend, in a miscellaneously wandering around kind of way.  (All professional acquaintances please note: I miscellaneously wander around very professionally!) If you are there too, then we will see each other and perhaps there will be cookies!  (And comics too, of course.)

You can tell that :01 and NYCC are a match made in heaven because our names are both made of abbreviations!  That's how heavenly match-making works, right?  First Second's got quite a number of things going on at this convention. First: we're exhibiting!  Stop by; we're at booth 2314.  We will do our best to Read the Rest…

This seems like an awesome swing!  Except maybe not one I would want to be on; I feel like the balance might be off. (I'd go to the events anyways.)
