New comics for Wednesday September 20th 2006

Hey Kids!

Lots of stuff coming up real soon, so let me start with this event
announcement.

On Saturday October 7th, Green Brain Comics and Stormy Records are
holding two very exciting events that showcase our relationships with
the local and worldwide community.

Starting at 12 noon on Saturday October 7th, Green Brain Comics kicks
off our 4th Annual 24 Hour Comic Day.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with the 24 Hour Comic Challenge,
it is the invention of comic scholar Scott McCloud (Understanding
Comics, Zot) and his fellow creator Steve Bissette (Taboo, Swamp Thing)
that challenges creators to start and finish a 24 page comic in 24
consecutive hours. Think that sounds easy? You'll never know unless you
try.

This is an international event, involving creators from 13 countries.
For more info on the challenge check out:

And more info about the event organizer, Nat Gertler at About Comics:

In the past, we have had a larger space to host this event. Due to our
reorganization and partnership with Stormy Records, the space available
will be a bit cozier. Due to space constraints we have to be very clear
that only the most dedicated and determined individuals will be accepted
to participate. If this sounds like you, please stop in and get an
application to the 24 Hour Comic Day. A very modest entry fee of $10
will get you a place to work, a swell meal of pizza and all the coffee
you need to through this gruelling marathon. The entry fee will also
gain you entry to a very special event later in the evening.

Stormy Records is hosting a benefit to raise money for the American Cancer Society here at the Stormy/Green Brain collective. Their friend Dave Mcglassen passed away early this summer from cancer at only 48 years old. he never had a chance to see our new location, so they are having a special show for him here. A wake of sorts. And since we all know someone who is suffering from cancer or has passed from it, we thought this wake for dave could be a special fundraiser where all proceeds go to the american cancer society. Performers include Dave's good friends from the area -
Farmer in the Sky
Windy and Carl with Frank Rotondo on rhodes keyboard
Odd Clouds
Metal Dungeon
A minimum donation is $5, and any extra is greatly appreciated. They
will have refreshments, and please spread the word. every dollar raised
will go to help find a cure. Everyone is welcome, so spread the word.

The next note is a self-serving reminder for you folks.
