The Small Press Expo is going to be this coming weekend at the Marriott Bethesda North Hotel & Conference Center, 5701 Marinelli Road, North Bethesda, MD -- which means it is again in the hotel just opposite and down a block from the White Flint Metro station.
This is the small press/independent comics showcase on the East Coast, so it's not to be missed. Kate Beaton will be there, and I have to save enough cash to get myself on of the long prints from Dresdan Codak -- I think I want the Summer Dream Job, or maybe After Many a Summer Dies the Swan (transforming axototl!), or 42 Essential Third-Act Twists. And I need to get another Owly book or two by Andy Runton, who was sweet last time and drew the main characters when he the one I bought.
I went last year, and had a blast just looking at the exhibitors' booths. This year, I might go both days, and actually get to hear some of the talks. If anyone else is going and would like to meet up -- for lunch or otherwise, just let me know.
