MPLS Cell meets THURSDAY, MARCH 4th
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.
MINNEAPOLIS ZINE FEST NOW TAKING APPLICATIONS
ZINEFEST 2010 is coming sooner than you think! Several of us were there last yeat. Lots of fun. You should table and/or attend yourself!  Â
From Conspirator/Stuff Organizer Sarah Morean:
The Twin Cities Zinefest is now accepting exhibitor applications. Go here to reserve your table today: http://zinefest.org/application/
Like in the past, we will only accept online applications until we are near capacity. Then all applicants will go on a wait list.
Table and chair fees are the same as last year. Please note the “optional message” field on page one of the application. Use that space to indicate special needs (do you want to sit near an outlet?), seating preferences (would you like to sit near your friends?), or any name changes (would you prefer to be listed by your name, business, or zine in our promotional materials and online?).
Please remember that a half-table at Zinefest is larger than most half-tables at other craft or book shows and reserve your space accordingly. A full-size table is 8’x30″! That is very large. At 4’x30″, a half-table suits most creators just fine, and by reserving a half-table, you will create more room in the space for additional creators, which means more fun for everyone!
Feel free to write me with any questions.
Regards,
Sarah Morean

Minneapolis Jam: January 2010
I didn’t realize that Gary Coleman had died! That poor, adorable man… and the delicious, delicious taco underworld he got wrapped up in. Read all about it here:

January 7000 BC Meeting
The January 7000 BC meeting will be held Saturday, January 23 in the Community Room at the Santa Fe Library Main Branch, 1:30–4:00. After the meeting, we’ll move on to dinner. We’ll be making all sorts of plans for this year’s activities and welcome everyone interested in creating and self-publishing comics.
The library is in downtown Santa Fe and there’s limited, paid (but cheap) parking in the back, street and lot parking around, and possibly the lot across Washington Street at the First Interstate Building will be open. The library is on a stop for the Santa Fe Pick-Up and the meeting’s timed for those taking the train from Albuquerque.
Please send an email with any questions.
You gotta do this. I’m not kidding.
![[Square foot art]](http://www.cropart.com/CartCon/foot_in_the_door.png)
If you are a Minnesota artist, you have to do this.
Every ten years, the Minneapolis Institute of Art allows anyone to hang work in their gallery. The only requirements: Be a Minnesotan. The piece of art has to measure one cubic foot or less. Could be a cool page. A panel you like. An animation cel. A small sculpture. Anything.
(In the fine print it says something about not allowing living things, bugs, plants, liquids or hazardous materials — and some more stuff. Read the rules. But there’s not much more to it than one cubic foot.)
From the Web site: WHO QUALIFIES: Anyone living in Minnesota who considers him- or herself an artist. Limit one (1) artwork per artist.
The show is called “Foot In The Door 4.” And it’s a madhouse. When all the pieces are displayed it’s almost impossible to look at. Many walls crammed with one-foot square things. But still — there you are, in the same building as Rembrandt and Van Gogh and all those other famous dead guys.
You gotta do this.
Deadline: Thursday, Feb. 4 through Sunday, Feb. 7.
