What’s Coming Up in May
This is my blog, so I’m going to give an extra special plug to the New England Steampunk Festival on May 1st, at which I will be giving a talk on “Steampunk Propmaking for Beginners” and otherwise wandering around with an airship strapped to my back. Please come support the Charles River Museum of Industry as it recovers from recent flooding.
May 1st is also Free Comic Book Day! Check with your nearest comic book shop to find out if they’ve got any big events planned. Here is a list of FCBD events in New England that have crossed my radar; this is absolutely not a complete list:
Comicopia, Boston, MA: writers Nichol Ashworth and Kevin Church and artist Ming Doyle (via Bostonist)
Larry’s Comics, Lowell, MA: artists Adam Miller, Charles Wilson III, and Tyler James (via Convention Scene)
That’s Entertainment, Worcester, MA: artists Mark McKenna, Bob Almond, Eric Merced and Mark Marderosian (via Convention Scene)
