June 24, 2008 – 4:26 pm

I promised to put up some pictures from the launch night for Last Bus. Check em out. I think anyone who came had a good laugh at it. I sure did. Thanks to Beck for the pictures!

Following the launch, Katie and myself headed up to Derry to give our newly formed small press publishing partnership, Cardboard Press, its inaugural festival appearance. Derry is a lovely city. Picturesque, friendly and relaxed – it completely surprised us that way. David Campbell and the crew at the Verbal Arts Centre really put on a top class event with loads of discussions, events and guests. We had a great time, met some nice folks, sold and swapped some comics and books.

There are a few pictures from the Saturday here, here, here,  and uh… here

Last Bus launch, Derry 2D festival etc etc etc

June 9, 2008 – 4:03 pm

Whoa,I’m knackered. Still reeling from the last 5 days activities, so I’ll keep  the post short. Thanks to everyone who came to the launch in the Stags Head last Wednesday. Thanks to Harry and Seamo (Boxkites) for providing the gangsta rap /speed  garage soundtrack, Tannam for lending me the PA, Brendan for the lift in the rain and Katie and Ciara for stamping, numbering and selling the comics. A great night was had by all.   So after a hellish week in work and the organisational panic on Wednesday a frantic evening of printing, cutting and stapling on Thursday myself and fellow Cardboard Presser Katie Blackwood boarded the bus for Derry to take us 4 and 1/2 hours north to the 2D Northern Ireland Comics Festival. We had a ball of a weekend which I will detail in the next post.
