While Waiting For The Storms To Break
It’s been a miserable couple of days, weather-wise, here in the vast New Jersey hinterlands — heat and humidity more expected in July than May, and my house’s HVAC is having issues. Bleah. If the predictions hold true, we’re in for a couple of days of rain, which ought to break the temperatures if not the humidity, and hopefully climate control will be re-established inside before it gets nasty again; in the meantime, just me and the dog, hangin’ around, being too warm for comfort. Let’s think cool thoughts.
- They always say that you shouldn’t drink booze when you’re over-hot, because it’ll dehydrate you and make you more miserable in the long term; I’m fully prepared to say that “they” can suck it. And while they’re sucking it, those of you in New York City can look forward to the latest attempt by Kristen Siebecker¹ to teach you
uncultured heathensdear, dear friends to appreciate wine.This iteration of Popping Your Cork will be on 12 June at 6:15pm in Midtown, where she’ll be pairing wines from the Finger Lakes with food from India. Because Kristen appreciates comics and loves us, she’s given us a coupon code for 10% off the cost of the evening: use EMAIL10 at checkout and save a couple of bucks. And just a thought, anybody that went to a couple of these and did a comic about their learning journey? That would be legit fascinating and I would pay to read it.

The shows will be nonstop from here out to at least the end of the summer. Consider:
- Phoenix Comicon is already underway, with a healthy representation of webcomickers (and a very helpful webcomics category on the guest list)
- MCM London starts tomorrow for those of you on the British side of the Atlantic and a stack of comics types in attendance (helpful map from Robin Hoelzemann of Curia Regis here)
- VanCAF runs Saturday and Sunday, with the cream of the PNW crop making their way across the border, with a cluster of TopatoCo-affiliated creators, some Cloudscapers, a pair of superbros, and many, many more (it looks to be the webcomickiest of the three shows going on this weekend)
That’s not even considering the fact that Philadelphia Comic Con² hits next weekend, and HeroesCon the weekend after that. Anybody with a moment to catch their breath before San Diego, raise your hand and also I hate you.
