Plenty of People Are Going APE* This Weekend! ( *Alternative Press Expo 2008 That Is ! )
Just had another email from a different exhibitor who will be at The Alternative Press Expo, better known as 'APE', reminding me that the Show is this coming weekend! APE is being held once again in its home of many years, the San Francisco Concourse. The APE event is on November 1st and 2nd, right after Halloween Night. So the event promoters are urging attendees to come to San Francisco early, and celebrate that spookiest of holidays in the beautiful city by the Bay before hitting the APE Exhibit Hall! So what is APE?? APE is... "one of the country’s largest gatherings of the best in indie comics, offering a venue for exhibitors ranging from self-publishers of minicomics to such large publishers as SLG Publishing, Fantagraphics, Drawn and Quarterly, Oni Press, Top Shelf, and many more". As an attendee, you will find a huge assortment of some of the best 'indie' and 'alternative' comics material out there: via graphic novels, ’zines, art books, prints, original art, and comics of every size and shape! Even if you don't stop and buy a bagful or two of goodies, you may be inspired to go home and create some of your own comics! So Who's going to be there? The special guest list for APE 2008 includes Jessica Abel (La Perdida), Paige Braddock (Jane’s World), Megan Kelso (The Squirrel Mother), Matt Madden (99 Ways to Tell a Story), Ethan Nicolle (Chumble Spuzz, courtesy of SLG Publishing), and Chris Ware (The ACME Novelty Library).
