Fetishman

I’m alive! I can barely believe it but i really am. So …
… there is an issue 9 out now (and this time the subscriber mail-out was like a well-lubed machine – the subscribers could probably still smell factory on their copies .. hopefully not lube … i may have to check)
… whitby goth weekend was a beauty (most comics sold yet, good company, fine booze, and my good lady either on my arm or at the very least gadding about whitby which isn’t ever too big to be far from it)
… there be shot glasses (so lovely! although demonstrating their shot delivering power at 11am on the saturday wgw stall probably was less than the mightiest plan)
… the exhibition is over in Sh! (boo) but was apparently a veritable hit (yay!)
… and i have just recovered from my annual death-cold (i shrug off a lot of them but once in a while one floors me … and then fills my face with goop … i’m sure there’s a metaphor there)

what next? well lots, but most importantly
BRISTOL SMALL PRESS EXPO!
THIS WEEKEND!
on Saturday, the 9th of May at the Mercure Holland House hotel in the city of Bristol, UK.

With the main comic-con having to move to the Ramada in Bristol there wasn’t really room for the small press, but thanks to the awesome skill and power of Mal and Fallen Angel Media the small press expo is on! Just for one day, the saturday, but full to the seams with awesome:
free stuff? check
signings? check
draw-off? check
Doug Bradley? check
Kevin O’Neill? check
Mavis and Tim helping me out on the fetishman stall with the new issue 9 out and a fez? check

oh it’s going to be awesome.

The Bristol Small Press Expo 2009 was last weekend and I’m pleased to say it was a hoot and a half!

Okay, so ’tis a shame that Bristol had to split into two cons, but what the small press ended up with is a lovely little conference, especially considering it was pulled together in just the past 3 months, at a far-too-good-for-the-likes-of-us venue and with a bundle of fans kicking around who were actually quite interested in small press comics.

high points?

• Mal who organised it, feckin’ god-like. Oh yeah, and she does my re-prints for issues 1 and 2.  And possibly a few issue 3 if  I need them to tide me over to the graphic novel. And maybe the graphic novel. And definitely the BEFF stuff when i get that wrapped. And for choosing boobs over booze.
• Mavis selling comics to people. No single incidence rates higher than any other, it was god-like. At one point i’d swear he sold comics without resorting to the use of mere spoken language.
• Tim being self-less driver monkey for the weekend.
• Tim and I both being glowered at by Gilbert Shelton after we tried to buy comics from him …
• Dancing to “99 red balloons”
• Geek Syndicate because they’re a hoot
• Sarah and vicky for putting up with us and us up

Yeah, we’ll be going to next years, so long as there’s cider we’re sorted

laters!

Damn that man-flu, gets in the way of doing stuff you know, anyhoo, yes! As seen at Whitby Goth Weekend and The Bristol Small Press Expo, the ninth issue of fetishman “Space” is now available from the fetishman shop, and will very soon be available from whatever comic shops it can be stuffed into. repeatedly. Oh yes.

Oh and you are correct, the fetishman doll and the shot glasses are not myth.  Soon my pretties, soon, mwahahahahaha!

Laters!

AWESOME! Whilst Sarah Berry and the people of Forum are utterly lovely, i’m still unsure as to how Forum’s readership have reacted to the sight of an unkempt loon taking up vital perv space. vital i say! Anyhoo, i believe it’s still on the shelves for another 24 hours (am i lacking in the ability to keep track of stuff? oh yes) if you feel your coffee table is far too bereft of geof-interview-and-rudiness tomes.
