Between the three of us, we had:

Corned Beef Hash, Fried Eggs, Béarnaise (mer)
Brioche Pain Perdu (me, audrey)
Irish Oatmeal w Brown Sugar and Buttermilk (audrey, me)
Bacon (me, audrey)
Coffee
$68 w/ tip + coatcheck

Meredith declared the corned beef hash to be the best she’s ever had. My pain perdu was on the sweet side but perfect otherwise. Really, everything was amazing but I regret not getting the buttermilk donuts.

Dark Horse released on Monday its first digital comics formatted for the iPhone and iPod touch devices. “Terminator: Death Valley,” a four-issue miniseries by Alan Grant and Steve Pugh — originally published in 1998 — is now available in the Apple Apps Store/iTunes as a series of four “apps” priced at $0.99 each.

I remember buying this miniseries during the time Warren Ellis and I were pushing to get Steve hired on to our Generation X. I already knew Steve’s work from 2020 VISIONS and loved it, especially his women. Anyway, I still have my single issues but I’ll check out this app.

This volume collects issues #29-34, the election storyline from last year.  It’s good, but don’t take my word for it… how about Greg Palast’s?  He’s the investigative journalist who, among many other things, single-handedly exposed the 2000 and 2004 voter fraud in Florida and Ohio.  Here’s a scan of his introduction.

Brian Wood: The Art of The Proposal
Sunday, 12:00 to 2:00
Writer Brian Wood (DMZ, Northlanders, Local) offers a hands-on discussion and workshop on the finer points of preparing a comic book proposal, from thinking conceptually to structure and form to useful information on sending your pitch out into the world. Participants are encouraged to bring pre-existing proposals to the class, or be prepared to create one in the workshop. Writing materials or a laptop required. Brian Wood has twelve years experience creating comics, as well as several years in the video-game industry. Working almost exclusively on creator-owned projects, his insights into building a comic book project from scratch would be useful to any writer or artist looking to hone their craft. Strictly limited to 30 participants. $100.

This is an expensive seminar, but virtually all the money is donated to the CBLDF (a couple bucks to NYCC for its overhead, and zero money to me), so it’s a worthy cause as well as hopefully a useful class.  Click the TICKETS link for a list of the other seminars being taught.
