WONDER CON 2009
WONDER CON 2009!!
Oh yeah, it was a good one! I had a blast during Wonder Con weekend, hanging at the Prism Comics and Writers Old Fashioned booths (I've suckered both groups into letting me into their clubhouses) and attending the Isotope Comics party on Saturday night for Jill Thompson and Brian Azzarello. I also moderated the Birth of Gay Comix panel on Friday afternoon, and was on the Queer Self Publishing panel on Sunday. Very fun...
It was especially powerful for me to do the Gay Comix panel, as I got a chance to interview and give props to the women and men who, in the late 1970's and early 1980's, were courageous enough artists to create the first Gay Comix and Wimmen's Comix and thus open the doors for all of us that came later. I for one wouldn't be able to make the work I do now without them fighting the good fight then for all of us. Rock on, people! Let's continue the fight, and remember our history!
My buddies Graylin and Drew from Grey Rose Productions were cool enough to film the three panels hosted by Prism Comics (Birth of Gay Comix, Queer Women in Comics, and Queer Self Publishing). Once we get it all together, Prism will post the videos for everyone to check them out.
These pics are from the Isotope Party... The first is of me with my two bitches, Sonia Harris (who writes for ifanboy.com, and designed my website) and Jason MacNamara (writer of Martian Confederacy, Continuity, First Moon), and the second is of me and Storm (writer and performer) trying to figure out which of us is gayer. Guess who won?
Oh, and here's a link to a great video that zan (writer of Mark of Aecus) made of me and Ed Luce (Wuvable Oaf) at Wonder Con at the Prism booth... I think it's funny and fascinating, but then I'm biased.

Spellcheck my heart
Oh and honey. For the fiftieth fucking time my name is McNamara. I only find shit like this when I google search myself with my name spelled wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
At least your good looking. Don't lose that.
