I've heard proper bloggers assign descriptive titles to their entries.
First off, via Comic Book Resources, Queer Cartoonists Speak Out at APE:
"Queer Cartoonists," a panel of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) creators discussing issues of identity, community, and their creative work, will debut at the 2004 Alternative Press Expo (APE). This will be the very first time such a panel has been featured at APE, the country�s largest gathering of alternative and self-published comics, marking the growing visibility of queer artists and writers in the field. The panel will be a star-studded event, featuring award-winning creators of independent comic books, strips, and 'zines, with material ranging from erotica to historical fiction, from comedy to biography, published both in print and online.The panel participants will be Alison Bechdel (DYKES TO WATCH OUT FOR), Colleen Coover (SMALL FAVORS), Tristan Crane (HOW LOATHESOM), Tim Fish (CAVALCADE OF BOYS, YOUNG BOTTOMS IN LOVE), Laurenn McCubbin (XXX LIVE NUDE GIRLS, KITCHEN SINK MAGAZINE), and Eric Shanower (AGE OF BRONZE, THE GIANT GARDEN OF OZ).

Just because I'm trying to be a proper blogger doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to be a nice person, you know.
I will, however, refrain from making any Hooper X jokes.
Sooner and further north, there's a
Smut reading with Heather Corinna, Catherine Lundoff and Elise Matthesenthis Saturday, February 14th at The Smitten Kitten in Minneapolis.
Chris? You ain't going. No, that's not a question. Not even a request. More of a threat.
Update: Why yes, I did confuse Yvelle and Leora, as the latter lives in the Sin Cities and the former does not. I am dumb.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... I'm a going! Larry ran out of anal lube and you know he cant go into places like that. They always make him question his sexuality and the next thing you know he's walking out with 12 copies of "Twinks", a carton of Kools and the closest thing he can find that resembles a Philipino boy.
Ah.
Well, say hi to Elise for me, and let her know I still wear the earing she made for me.
And did you want to be buried in Coon Rapids, or have the mangled corpse shipped back to Illinois?
Actualy I would just like to be incinerated where I fall.
Why, Aaron, how nice of you to confuse me with someone else. Fitting, considering I confused you for a Minnesotan (although I'm sure my offense was much more dire).
;)
I did not, in fact, make it to the Smitten Kitten reading on V-day. Was interested in going after I read about it here (why I hear about MN events from a man in Chicago, I do not know). But, had other plans with the girlfriend ("The Triplets of Belleville", which is a great flick, I must say.).
Anyone else make it? Was it good?
Leora, well, I did live there for a while. Sorry again about the confusion.
And I've been meaning to see "The Triplets of Belleville" myself. It's great, you say?
Since Lord Shaggy ain't posted in the last few days, he might'a gone to the reading, but won't have anything to say about it. Unless you got a ouija board.
