St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy Jam! This Thursday, April 15th, 2010!

Join the St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy Cell and create a jam comic at our NEW MEETING PLACE, Cahoots Coffee! This NEW VENUE provides us with not only a spacious room in the back of the shop, but also they have tasty mediterranean food for sale!

The jamming is easy and it’s a fun time! Just bring some drawing utensils, an idea for the jam, and a few bucks to get a tasty beverage or some chow — don’t forget to tip, the baristas really do appreciate that!

The jam will start promptly at 6:30 and run until 10:30 at the latest. Come earlier to reserve your space! Seating can be limited at times!

The meetings are open to anyone who wants to draw with us, and the results will be posted here at some date yet to be determined.

To join us come to:
Cahoots Coffee

St Paul, MN 55104
(Southeast corner of Snelling and Selby)

More not than often we head on over to grab a brew at:
O’Gara’s Bar and Grill

Hope to see you there!

April 8, 2010 (second Thursday)

Agenda:
– There are multiple birthdays this month so maybe one/some of the recipients will lead the comic jam for us.
– John C talked about changing what Thursdays we meet to make it less confusing, maybe say every other Thursday instead. We can discuss it at the meeting.

When; The SECOND and LAST Thursday of the Month

Time: 6:30pm to 10pm
note: The café will not be making coffee drinks after 9pm since they need to clean-up the equipment, but we can stay and draw.

San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 970-6998

Ex Novo Libris: Book 2: The Invention of the Microscope: Part IV: Farewell, L’il Blue

At long last, I have finished the tenth installment to my sci-fi/parody/slapstick/horror/gothic/fantasy/philosophy/satire epic … and it clocks in at 49 pages.

This one is about the end of the world, so if you haven’t read any of the previous issues you may want to, to fully enjoy the horror.

Ex Novo Libris Part 10

Lotta words in this. Wordy McWorderson over here. Ah, the forgiving nature of comics. Hopefully.

This is the second-to-last book of the entire series, so now – perhaps – I am finally around Zander Cannon’s place in his book, if it’s true that he only needs one more story to finish his epic. Hmmm!

No Foolin’: The MPLS Jam is Thursday, April 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 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

Bus info here.

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.
