1) Appearing: LA Times Festival of Books

The LA Times Festival of Books, largest such festival in the country, is this weekend on the UCLA campus. I will be making an appearance tomorrow, Sunday the 25th. Here’s my schedule:

• 11am-12pm: The Big! Bold! BOOM! panel with Chip Mosher (LEFT ON MISSION), Kim Krizan (BEFORE SUNRISE, ZOMBIE TALES: 2061) and Pierluigi Cothran (NOLA) on the Etc. Stage in Zone K.
• 12pm-1pm: We will all be signing at the BOOM! Studios booth (#752 in Zone G).

You can download a full event map here and get directions and parking info here.



2) The Meltcast!

And, as every week, the Meltcast comics podcast I co-host continues. This week, in addition to the standard comics discussion, is the Kick-Ass movie roundtable, a C2E2 report and even a dramatic reading or two. New episodes go live every Thursday at http://coolsvillecomics.com and shortly thereafter on iTunes.

Frequent Meltcast guest Sam Humphries will also be appearing at LATFoB this weekend in an authorial capacity. Here’s his signing schedule (HINT: after stopping by the BOOM! booth to see me, you can hop right over a few booths to Archaia at #756 and see Sam).
