SHAMELESS COMMERCIAL PLUGS!

[Dudley]

What with all the announcements from comics vendors, potters and the like, I thought to myself, "Why not have an entire thread, which people can ignore at their leisure, entirely devoted to shameless commercial plugs?"  

And here it is.  Any money-making activities that you as a boarder may wish to promote can be added below, ensuring that the money of this little community is kept within the community at all times.

PS This is in no way a cheap way to disguise my own shameless promotion of Comedy at Madame Jo-Jo's tonight!!!, with the hottest and cheapest comedy line-up in London.  Come & I'll buy you a pint!!!

Dudley - maybe I will come along. Oddgirl & I were planning on going to a comedy show on Sunday, but ended up at the cinema instead. Will there be tickets on the door?

And which comic are you? (Or are you the bouncer?)

[DavidXBrunt]

I think he's Madame Jo-Jo.

[Dudley]

Madame Jo-Jo sadly passed away many a year ago, and the male strippers in drag who honour her memory won't be there tonight (thank the Big Fella).

I have a very very tiny stake in proceedings as the organisers are also the organisers of the group I've been writing sketches for (mostly old university buddies).

As I'm not an organiser myself I hope you'll consider this an unbiased review when I say that I've only seen 1 bad set out of 12 at this venue, and laughed so much at some of them that I was in physical pain afterwards.

Dud - did you buy a copy of FutureQuake from smallzone yet? It's in the crime section whilst you're at it, cos it's ace.

[Dudley]

Art - they haven't put it onto the credit card ordering facility yet, will slap an order in the post instead.  To make up the postage, what other fine small press comics would people recommend?

[Oddboy]

Tales/Mortuary is indeed "Ace"

I'll see what the missus reckons, but we might be there.

If you see us we'll be expecting alcohol!

Dammit!  Had a turnip desperately needed paring only last week...if only I'd known, I'd have spared myself everything... the forks, the oil, the X-ray in Casualty...

[DavidXBrunt]

Oooh, that's given me a Birthday present idea! How are you at Pandas or Dolphins? Would a decorated vase or bowl or cup with one of those on be possible Bou?

[Art]

I suspect if you just type its name into the form it will sort itself out...

As for other small press comics on that site to make up the postage... Well, obviously anything by Chris Askham is great, and I think I think I've heard good things about Fusion, but basically its worth surfing around it to see what takes your fancy.

[Queen Firey-Bou]
