It’s a full day of comics and 7000 BC on Sunday, January 6:

1:00–2:30 — our monthly meeting will be held at Winning Coffee at 111 Harvard SE, just off Central, across from UNM. We’ve got conventions to plan, education programs to organize, and much catching up with each other to do.

3:00–5:00 — Stranger Factory presents Jimmy Palmiotti in a writing workshop. Several of our members are going, and we hear that spaces are still available; register with Stranger Factory at strangerfactorysales@gmail.com or (505) 508-3049.

5:00–on — we’ll be getting together at the Frontier to discuss and share what we learned in the workshop, and for some food after a busy day.

For the July 7000 BC meeting, Ben will be presenting a short workshop on using a tablet — a great opportunity for anybody who’s wondered about working on one, but never had the chance to try it out.

We’ll also be making plans for upcoming conventions; the fall’s starting to fill up with events, so we’ll be looking for help.

All interested in independent comics are welcome — if we met you at ACE, we hope to see you there. Send an email with any questions.
