Hey Minneapolis cartoonists…
A couple Saturdays ago I discovered a leak in my basement, so I turned to our old friend the Google search for a plumber. Somehow this lead me to www.eriknelsonplumbing.com .
Anyway, I called Erik and he agreed to waste a Saturday fixing my ancient plumbing…FOR MONEY!!!
AND HE’LL FIX YOUR PLUMBING FOR MONEY TOO! And he’ll do an AMAZING job at reasonable rates (and for anyone who has actually had to pay for a plumber, you’ll understand how important that is).
Why post about this on the Conspiracy website? Cause as it turned out not only was Erik a plumber, but he had attended his first Cartoonist Conspiracy (MPLS cell) meeting a few weeks earlier!
Crazy small world.
So remember…when you’re in need of COMICS, check out www.nelsonerik.com
And when you need a PLUMBER, check out www.eriknelsonplumbing.com
Erik happily provides both.
He’ll also provide to world soon a new comic WALKABOUT #1–check ou his website for more info.
One day we’ll remember to put off the post until the last minute….
One of the themes will be “BIKE ART IV”…..FOUR!?! Geez, so I guess bring you best for the amusing worlds of bikes and the “Four-Part Trilogy”. Kriske will also pick more topics by rifling thru the filth of a City Pages.Â
The Minneapolis Cartoonist Conspiracy meets at 6:30 until 10:00 the first Thursday of every month at Diamond’s Coffee Shoppe in Northeast.
Generally, we draw collaborative “jam†comics, socialize and drink caffeinated beverages. Afterwords, we often have uncaffeinated beverages somewhere else.
The meetings are open to anyone who wants to draw with us, and the results are posted here sooner or later (and sometimes even printed).
Diamond’s Coffee Shoppe
1618 Central Avenue Northeast
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Please spend some money at Diamond’s while you’re there, even if it is just a cuppa coffee… they are excellent hosts, and we wanna stay welcome there.
Big Time Attic hosts our monthly jam meetings at Diamond’s… they will be supplying us with a big old plate of pastries or something. Thanks fellas!
