If you're in San Francisco this weekend, please join us at the Alternative Press Expo. We'll be at booth 415 offering special show discounts and hanging with some lovely out-of-town guests: Lilli Carre from Chicago and Martine Workman from Seattle! Lilli will be signing copies of her Little Otsu book Nine Ways to Disappear and brand new print. She'll also have some screenprints and Trubble Club minis. Martine will be signing copies of her Little Otsu mini Water and Fall and will have some of her fun handmade minis like Conversating, Cheek to Cheek, and the hilarious Hunks.
And be sure to check out other LO artists who will be at APE. Joey Sayers will be sharing a table with Minty Lewis and Damien Jay (booth 423) and Jeremy Tinder will be floating around somewhere, but will definitely be at the opening for his show with Grant Reynolds at Giant Robot on Saturday night.
Jo curated an animation program, Experimental Animation, for the new Citizen Jane Film Festival taking place in Columbia, MO this weekend, October 16th-18th. She'll be there presenting her program, showing her new animation, participating in some panels and workshops, and will have copies of her book Quietly Sure - Like the Keeper of a Great Secret for sale. She's also showing a new Lilli Carré short (Head Garden) in her program and will have some Nine Ways to Disappear as well. Check it out!

Lart (Berliner) & Simon (Evans) have a show happening now in their current hometown Berlin. Under the name "Light Centre" they created, "An array of objects from the artist shared domestic environment, fastidiously recreated in the form of ghost-like black & white replicas, stand arranged as in a display from a post apocalyptic anthropology museum," according to their gallery, Maribel Lopez. This is reason enough to take a European vacation.

If you're going to MoCCA this weekend, be sure to stop by the Fantagraphics table on Saturday from 3-4pm to say hi to Lilli. You can also catch her a few hours later (6:30-8:30) at Giant Robot for the release of Windy Corner #3.
