Birthday Party That Is Conspiracy-related!

Join me as I, Mike Toft (AKA, one of the original members of the Cartoonist Consiracy), joyfully celebrate my birthday! I’m using e-mail and this blog to help spread the word, since I’m not on The Face-book.

Time: Saturday, March 9, from 5 pm to whenever.

Place: The glamorous side room at Grumpy’s downtown, 1111 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis. Click here for a map. There’s a parking lot directly behind the bar. Also, it’s pretty easy to park on the street around there.

Cost: Depends on how much you eat and drink.

We can stay past 9 pm, but around 9:30 they’ll start setting up the glamorous side room for live music, which starts at 10 pm.

No gifts, please. Feel free to bring a friend. Keep in mind this is NOT a jam or open studio. It IS a chance to hang out with both Conspiracy and non-Conspiracy people. Work on your social skills with the help of beer!

Hope to see you there!

DANNO KLONOWSKI is a cartoonist and podcaster. MATT “SHLOGGS” RISNES is a noted film blogger and podcast guest. They have been friends for nearly 20 years and like talking about stuff at length and in-depth. The seventh episode opens with listener mail, a discussion of Shloggs recent obsession, the film BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW (which you can see streaming on Netflix). Then it’s on to the topic at hand: FRANK MILLER!!!

FRANK MILLER for the uninitiated is a cartoonist responsible forever changing the direction of DAREDEVIL and the BATMAN. He also created a couple series you may have heard of including SIN CITY and 300, which he went onto ‘co-direct’ and produce, respectively. Frank’s also the author ROBOCOP 2 and 3, the writer/director of the reviled THE SPIRIT, and the creator of the equally reviled graphic novel HOLY TERROR.

Danno and Shloggs have a lively and philosophical talk about frank and are even joined last minute via email by Friend of the Show @RafeGuttman, who has even posted this video review of BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW, drawing the show full-circle.
