Yes, folks, we are! I know it’s been a while since we posted, but we were hard at work wrapping things up. We've gotten proofs from our printer, and after a few modifications this baby goes to print! I'm so exited I'm using excessive exclamation points!
In the mean time, we're going to be running around to a couple of events this month, getting the words out, and selling the book when it gets back to us, and preorders till then.
Our first public appearance will be at a fantastic event called Schoolgirls and Mobile Suites (SGMS), which takes place at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) next weekend, Sept 29th and 30th. We wont have the book yet, but we'll have a preview copy, sketch commissions, and samples of some private projects of our members, including 3 fantastic web comics. Also we’ll have some wonderful dark and adorable greeting cards from our very own Apricot the Gerbil (member, not mascot). T-shirts and Buttons Pending.
If you haven’t ever heard of SGMS, well, then that’s a crying shame, and you should look it up. It’s not too late to get a ticket. SGMS is a once-a year event dedicated to academic study of Japanese pop culture in the US. Not only do they always feature some fantastic guests, but I've gone several years, and I always wind up seeing all sorts of fantastic not-released-in-America anime. Once, we got an exclusive peak at an interview with Mr. Miazaki, that won’t ever be released. Last year there was a Lolita fashion show. It’s a hell of an event! Go here: http://www.mcad.edu/showPage.php?pa geID=1135 for more info. Seriously, it’s amazing.
Then, look for us again at Fallcon, Oct 6th & 7th at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds. C'mon guys. It’s for charity. You know you want to give to charity. We'll have a booth all weekend, with all the same goodies as we have at SGMS, and maybe more. You'll have to stop by to see.
See you there.
