FallCon 2007, Minnesota’s Premier Comic Book Convention, is this weekend! You won’t want to miss it.
The Conspiracy will have a lounging area at the Con… please come visit, draw, and/or read comics with us.
The wonderful annual event (now in its 19th year) is unparalleled in its generosity and hospitality to creators, and offers free tables for any creators who want them… as a result there is a wonderful variety to the work you will see there. Professional mainstream cartoonists and obscure amateur cartoonists are made equally at home at this delightful event… thanks much to the Minnesota Comic Book Association for continuing to host it.
Fallcon is October 6th and 7th from 10AM to 5PM.
You can see the guest list here.
Admission to non-guests is $10.00. $1 off admission with a canned Food Shelf Donation. Children ages 9 and under are admitted FREE. First 500 paid attendees Saturday and the first 200 on Sunday will receive a free grab bag of goodies.
FallCon is on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in the Education Building at 1372 Cosgrove Ave. in St. Paul, MN.
Here are banners for the event to put on your websites and blogs… lets help make this the biggest FallCon yet.

Sunday, October 7 | Noon | Backroads Pizza and Second Street Brewery | Santa Fe, NM
Back to Santa Fe for October for the monthly 7000 BC meeting. As is our custom, we’ll begin at Backroads Pizza (807 2nd St # 1) up on the second floor (just follow the counter around to the stairs) around noon, and move across the street to Second Street Brewery after 2:00. We’ll be working on a jam during the day, hearing about Stumptown and the Harwood classes, and preparing for SPX.
Send an email with any questions.
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. Afterwards, we often have uncaffeinated beverages somewhere else.
The meetings are open to anyone who wants to draw with us, and the results are posted on our website sooner or later (and sometimes even printed).
This month we will also be working on posters for FallCon. FallCon is this weekend! Oh, it is gonna be fun! You won’t want to miss it.
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 is now officially hosting our monthly jam meetings at Diamond’s… they will be supplying us with a big old plate of pastries or something each month. Thanks fellas!
Pick up a copy of the October 2007 Rake for a profile of Big Brain Comics’ Clarence Thrun.
Tom Spurgeon of the excellent Comics Reporter blog just posted a wonderful review of The Weiner Roast mini we made last year in conjunction with the Lutefisk Sushi Volume B event… read it here.
WHO WILL WIN? WHO WILL LOOSE?
Find out soon on this blog!
It’s once again time for the San Francisco Cell’s bi-monthly jam, Thursday September 27th, 2007.
This week we continue with our scripted jam….
Thanks to the help of a local comic book writer were going to create a comic from a dialog-free script and see what happens. It will mean that the artists will be doing there own interpretation of the script, but also working to with each other to make it complete and coherent. Should be fun.
Any level of artist is welcome to grab there favorite drawing tools and come on out and join us an another adventure in Comics.
We have less than a month now until 24 HOUR COMIC BOOK DAY, and I’m hoping to hear from you past(and I’m hoping from some of you FUTURE) participants to see if you’re interested.
I’m going to start harrassing sponsors this week, so hopefully we can score some free goodies.
We also did a “buffet” last year that seemed to go well, so I’m thinking we’ll do it again, except this time we’ll break down food categories by last name (example: A-D bring a beverage to share) so theres not so much overlapping.
Either way, its a great way to spend a day of your life, so I hope to hear from you!
