The Lutefisk Sushi Volume C show just got written up on Vita.mn here! Presumably the same item will soon be in the Star Tribune as well.
An excerpt:
Very frightening.

More Sushi Press
A number of us were interviewed yesterday about the Lutefisk Sushi show by Kare 11 for broadcast and to be featured on their new Metromix site… I’ll post a link when it is up, and I’ll let you know if I hear in advance of when it is going to be broadcast… it is likely to be today.
The Sushi show also just got a really nice write up at the l’etoile magazine blog… read it here. Here is some advice from them…
We know you’ve been lusting after one of those Lutefisk Sushi volumes forever – snap one up before it lands at the bookstore for $300.
Also, another reminder that if you are involved in the show, PLEASE HELP PROMOTE IT!

Please Help Promote Lutefisk Sushi
I’m happy to report that it sounds like we are going to be getting a lot of press coverage for the Lutefisk Sushi show opening this Friday. I’ll be posting links to all the press I see here… if you see any coverage, please let us know about it.
Let’s make this the best attended Sushi show yet (the last two were both packed houses). You can help promote the show! If you are participating in the show… please, feel obligated to do so!
Here are some suggestions:
- Grab one of the banners at the bottom of this post and put it on your websites, blogs, social networking sites, and message boards you frequent with a link to the Sushi site.
- Write about the upcoming show and your preparations for it on your websites, blogs, social networking sites, and message boards you frequent with a link to the Sushi site.
- Pick up some of our postcards at Altered Esthetics and distribute them.
- Know reporters? Hit them up for a story. Here is the press release. Here are high-resolution images they can download.
- Most importantly: TELL YOUR FRIENDS in person or via phone or email and tell them to spread the word.

Additionally, we bombarded folks at MicroCon with postcards and information about the show this weekend… I think we are going to be in really good shape for getting the word out. BUT PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!
FIRST CRACK AT LUTEFISK SUSHI BOX/JAM THIS THURSDAY–MAY 1st–in MINNEAPOLIS
In addition to our usual antics, we will be distributing LUTEFISK SUSHI ‘C’ boxes to contributors at our monthly jam meeting this Thursday.
Boxes may also be picked up Friday May 2nd at the LUTEFISK SUSHI ‘C’ opening at Altered Esthetics, but this is your chance to get one a day early, read it, and then have something to talk about at the opening (not that cartoonists are socially backwards and NEED something pre-planned to talk about… but it helps).
Sadly, if you didn’t contribute you’ll have to wait until Friday to buy a box of your own (less than a hundred available to the public!).
So come on by, pick up your box, then stay around and draw for a while.
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!
