Minneapolis Jam This Thursday, April 7th

event, Events, jam, Minneapolis, mn

Come and discuss strategy for Mini-Comics Day this weekend (Saturday, April 9th)!

Micro-Comics sold by Marvel in capsule vending machines in the late 60's

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).

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.

Cartoonist Conspiracy San Francisco last comic jam of 2010 and Cheap Ass White Elephant gift exchange.

jam, Jam Comics, San+Francisco, ,

Well folks, another year of cartooning has come and gone and it’s time for the last comic jam of the year. That means it’s time for a bit of seasonal cheer and our 3rd annual Cheap Ass White White Elephant Exchange where you get to share Cartoonist Friendly things you don’t want or need anymore and get something new in exchange.

We’ll also be giving Alan and the amazing staff at Borderland Cafe a break and going back to our old haunt at the Church St. Cafe.

The evening will also have our second annual art exchange and a snack/meal/supper at a nearby restaurant afterward.

So, here is the scoop.

WHEN Thursday December 9th, 2010

—6:30 PM Church Street Cafe
http://www.yelp.com/biz/church-street-cafe-san-francisco

note: we don’t have reserved tables and seating, so if you are the
first one there you might want to grab a few tables and chairs for us
to use.

260 Church St
(between 15th St & Market St)
San Francisco, CA 94114
Neighborhood: Castro

a short walk from the MUNI subway and street cars BTW.

— 7:15 Cheap Ass White Elephant gift exchange

Time to get rid of your Comic Books, Graphic Novels, usable art
supplies, how-too books, and other things that you don’t want or need
anymore and a fellow artist will love. Just wrap them in the most
festive and cheap ass wrapping you can find and bring them along.
Anyone who brings a gift, gets a gift!

—8:00 Art Exchange

Create small masterpieces of art for your artist friends. That means
everyone goes home with original art.

— 9:00 Sparky’s for a late night snack/supper.

It’s just two doors down from the Church St. Cafe

So, come and celebrate the season at the last Cartoonist Conspiracy
Comic Jam of 2010!
