UPDATED APRIL 5TH (SCROLL DOWN)<\/span><\/p>\n I know what you’re thinking…You’re thinking will I be lucky enough to have Douglas Paszkiewicz world class illustrator and writer of the darkest dark humor come and shoot his big mouth off in my town?!\u00a0 Will I be lucky enough to be able to come up and be treated rudely and have a less than civil exchange with him IN PERSON?! Will I be lucky enough to have to pull him to the side and whisper “dude…be careful, that girls ONLY 17!” \u00a0\u00a0 Perhaps…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n …here’s the dates so far.\u00a0 A valuable lesson has been learned this week.\u00a0 The readers of A.L. got on the interwebs and raised hell to AZ comic Con requesting my charming presence. and guess what? AZ comic-con came through.\u00a0 Looks like I will be in Phoenix AZ.\u00a0 The thing I always try to get you guys to understand is that YOU are the fuel in the tank that makes this machine go. I can send my impressive BIO all over God’s creation, but it doesn’t amount to as much as YOU letting your local convention operators know you want me at the show.\u00a0 These people are in it to bring bodies through the door, and the best way for them to know WHO is actually going to draw in a crowd…is for YOU to tell them. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n SO…after you scroll through the current list check out the *pending* dates.\u00a0 These are shows I’d like to attend but the fine folks running them may need a little extra motivation (that’s you).\u00a0 ALSO, If you have a local show and don’t see it on any list…FIRST let the show know you want me there (usually under “contact info” there is some person with the title Guest relations…start the emails there, THEN let me know about it.\u00a0 THIS GOES FOR HORROR CONVENTIONS AS WELL…I don’t do nearly enough of those because…well…they get lost in the shuffle, and don’t have much knowledge of them, but I’d like to do more so keep your eyes open.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n My BIO is here in case you need something to convince them.<\/span><\/a><\/span> NO WIZARD WORLD SHOWS.\u00a0 My presence at shows helps the show, I have zero interest in saving ANY wizard world event from being the waste of time money and effort that it is for everyone involved.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n ***at some of these shows…especially the news ones, I can usually use help.\u00a0 Volunteers get free merch and free admittance…you must be outgoing a fan of A.L. and attractive ( even if it is in a Pug\/Bill Murray- I’m so oddlooking I’m attractive)…but not better looking than me.***<\/p>\n Indiana Comic Con March 14-16, 2014<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Indianapolis Convention Center<\/span><\/strong><\/span> Haven’t done this show before, but I’ve been on the lookout for a decent show in Indy.\u00a0 This one seems pretty decent.

One thing they seemed to be able to pull off pretty well is variety and it appears that even with some growth they are still doing that pretty well.\u00a0 Looks like there will be something worth checking out at every turn…good for you and good for me.
