*SPX 2004 WRAP-UP…

i hit spx in bethesda for the first time since my “evil” twin sis moved away from there a year and a half ago.

that means no floor to crash on…that was the worst part: a hotel room at $125 per night. good thing i had fellow cartoonist ted rall splittin’ the room with me..but it was still a high price to pay along with the round-trip ticket from the west coast…

anyhoo..it was a pretty good shoo..spx has weird hours..it starts on friday afternoon, and then has normal sat. and sun. hours. friday was pretty abysmal..sat. rocked and paid for the trip..whilst sun. was all gravy (and much better than friday)..

but alas..word has it, they’ll be going to a fri./sat format next year, leaving sunday open for a “pig roast”..this is how it used to be a few years back, but i think they’re making a big mistake dropping the sunday…

hung out with ted rall, jen sorenson, and mikhaela reid..all alternative weekly political cartoonists. we were all on a panel on sat.that went really well. it was whine-free..yet had plenty of beer and booze.

i also was given this great book o’ cartoons by claire briggs. briggs was a popular cartoonist that did a series of strips called “oh, what a grand and glorious feeling!!”. it is basically “life’s little victories” 80 years ago.

thanks to warren, who gave me the books, and let me crash at his house on the last day (he saved my ass some $$$)..

*MARGINAL PROPHETS CD RELEASE PARTY THIS FRIDAY!!

lookin’ forward to the show this friday at the elbo room in san francisco. the two bands we’re sharing the stage with, the latrells and most chill slack mob, feature former members of the prophets. it’s gonna be a great event.

and here’s a little secret: we’re doing a secret, un-announced gig at the cafe du nord in san francisco on saturday for the litquake literary fest opening party. come on by and say high!! we go on at 9:30pm.

*THE DEBATES

yup..kerry whupped dubya’s ass…but i think lyin’ dickie cheney slapped edwards around (i’m surprised by the polls calling edwards the winner)…i predict g.w. callin’ in sick for at least one debate and trying to stick his dick in as a replacement…

cheers!!
