Initial Convention Schedule for 2006

Convention Attendance is, for better or for worse, the life's breath of fledgling comic creators. This is where we meet fans, make contacts, see what other people are -really doing- (as opposed to what they say on their websites) and get a pulse of the industry. I am not used to Comic Book Conventions as I normally attend SciFi/Fantasy Conventions, but one must evolve or die. I'm too young to die needlessly, so "hello Comic Conventions!" I still plan to attend my old-standards as well.


MegaCon (February 24-26, 2006) will be Chris's and my first convention we attend together. It is here we will strive to make our first major decisions, such as self publish or find a publisher, and that will also decide if we continue to do Lineage as a greyscale comic or go full color.

RavenCon (April 21-23, 2006) will be the second convention I attend this year. I will be there with my wife as a jewelry vendor, but I hope to get in on a panel or two on writing.

OASIS19 (May 26-28, 2006) will be the third convention I attend. Again, I'll be there primarily as a jeweler and a massage therapist, but I intend to be on a few panels (was last year).

San Diego Comic-Con (July 20-23, 2006) will be Chris's and my second convention we attend together. There is a slim chance that we may just have the first GN "Lineage - Harbingers of Change" ready for early release here! If nothing else, we may have proof copies... but I'm not going to promise it this early.

Dragon*Con (September 1-4, 2006) will be the next convention I attend. At present, it is still up in the air as to whether I'll be there primarily as a Jeweler/massage therapist, or whether Chris will be able to fly out. Our plan is to have the first GN of Lineage officially released at Dragon*Con.

Necronomicon (October 27-29, 2006) is the last convention on my schedule this year. Again, this one I will be attending with my wife as a jeweler and massage therapist. I also do henna body art at these things (chris isn't the only one who can draw... he just draws better!).


That is a good, initial accounting for our year as we know it thus far. As the schedule changes, I'll post updates!
