Note to Nutmeggers

This Friday, Feb. 5 I’ll be speaking at a fundraiser in New Haven along with a friend of mine, a very talented illustrator and cartoonist named Michael Sloan. The event is at Luce Hall Auditorium at 34 Hillhouse Ave., and tickets are $25 ($10 for students). We’ll both be presenting slide shows of our respective work, followed by a Q&A and a silent auction of a copy of the Backspacer vinyl signed by Eddie Vedder. There will also be signed copies of both Michael’s books and The Very Silly Mayor for sale. The event raises money for a local day care program, so all funds raised are for a very worthy cause.

… adding: at 7 p.m.

Update: many thanks to my co-presenter Michael, and to all who attended. It was a great evening, and we raised a bunch of money for a good cause.

Later than you think

My friends at Credo have given away almost all the free stickers they’ve printed so far. We may be back with a different design at some point, but for now the plan is to shut the offer down when the counter hits 5,000. That’s not very far away, so if you want to get in on this, you should probably do it sooner rather than later.

*By “given away” I mean “promised to give away” — I don’t think the actual mailing has gone out yet.

UPDATE: all gone.
