February 7000 BC Meeting

Sunday, February 11 | Noon | North Fourth Art Center | Albuquerque, NM

7000 BC’s monthly meeting will be in Albuquerque at North Fourth at 4904 Fourth Street NW (map here). We’re going to spend some time looking at the galleries, where we’ll be having a show later this year, and then move into the studio/classroom and work on comics. Business will likely happen around 4:30-5:00 to allow us time to head across the street to Garcia’s Kitchen for dinner.

New members are always welcome — visit the Web site or send an email for more info.

JAM TONIGHT IN MINNEAPOLIS! (February 1st)

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 caffienated beverages. Afterwords, we often have uncaffienated 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).

We’re currently seeking people interested in participating in beta testing a cartooning textbook… please consider participating! Read more about it here.
