Alternative Press Expo (also: I bake)

Who's going to APE next week, in San Francisco?

I am!

I've never been.

(To APE. I've been to San Francisco, although not since... 2001?)

I am involved with two panels on Sunday (the 22nd of April): "Graphic Novels Now" at 12:30, and a "spotlight" on "me" at 3:45. (that seems like it's pretty late.) Hope has a spotlight panel at 2:45 the same day.

For my spotlight thing, I'll have Douglas Sherwood on stage to help me chat about stuff (he's that hot young editor at Oni Press), and I'm going to try to put together a short preview / reading from the new book. Probably the same stuff I did in North York in February, plus more. And a Q&A session. Are those ever any good?

Are any of my friends going? Or... or any of my... fans?

While in San Francisco we also have a signing at Comix Experience:

CE_ApeSigning

Friday, April 20th
5-7 PM
305 Divisadero St
415-863-9258

Kevin Huizenga, Gene Yang, Hope Larson and myself.

In other news, today I baked bread, from scratch, for the first time in my life. It was very exciting. So exciting that I forgot to take a picture before eating approximately 2/3rds of the loaf. *sigh* It was from my new favourite book, Baking Illustrated.

I'll be there, probably looking disoriented and over-heated.

Homemade bread is amazing. I haven't made any myself in.. jeez, 8 years or so. Wow that makes me all sorts of sad.

But I hope the turnout is good, APE is awesome, I always hear good things but have never had the chance to get to one, but since I'll be going to grad school out there, I guess I'll actually have the chance to. Haha!

I can't go after all. Money thing. I'm pretty sure I'm still going to San Diego.

Still...crap. Say hi to the Oni perople for me.

You ate before taking photos? This fills me with weepiness...

But that is okay, YOU BAKED BREAD, that is awesome. I was really excited the first time I baked bread too. :D

Alas, I am not very close to San Fran. There's a lot of land in the way. I hope the expo turns out well!

Man, I'd love to go one of these years. This year though it's the same weekend as S.P.A.C.E. so it's definitely out.

I'm glad to see that you're making an appearance in the states.

Unfortunately San Fransisco is just a little far north for me. Maybe next time.

I'll be there! My name's Sofia, and I'll be there wearing my sex bob-omb shirt, and I probably won't be able to keep myself from pointing out again that my picture is in the third Scott Pilgrim :D (you recognized me at san diego before I could say that I was one of the people whose picture you used, it was quite exciting)

I hope the trip goes well, But being down here makes it a little hard to get to San Fran :p (tho I would like to)
But that book does look pretty awesome, I take it you're going to continue to work through the book?

We'll be at APE. (Table 355) It'll be our third year exhibiting there -- it's always a lot of fun, I'm sure you'll love it!

I've been to APE a couple times before and it's always awesome. This year, however, will be even more awesome! Thanks for making the long trek...

I'll be going... next year! I didn't really think about APE this year until it was too late.
I may start going to APE instead of Comic-Con from now on, 'cause Comic-Con drives me totally CRAZY.

We should have our own APE if neither of us can go. Where we sign and sell each other our own comics.

Okay, maybe that's a dumb idea.

I think I'll see you and Hope at some point over the weekend... I didn't know about this signing on Friday, that's coming right up!

Well, I hope you both have a safe, uncomplicated trip over here.

Sadly, I had to skip this year, though my artmates Jon and Tyler will have a table, so there will be some representation. Gonna try for next year though.

JLu asked me if I was going last week. I'm not sure I can make it, what with the Cannes deadlines. I know Chy3 isn't going, because she did Wondercon instead, and she's usually my go-to travel gal. My man is working, as they just started shooting Murder for Spike.

Bleh.

In other news, I'm going to buy that book. I can't bake bread for shit. I want gorgeous chewy sourdough, with a crust. My crust is always crummy. Everyone else says my sausage bread is delicous, but I just think it's dry.
