If you were thinking of staying at http://www.drummohr.org/ on Friday 30th May you will be within spitting distance of the opening night party of the 3 Harbours Arts Festival (www.3harbours.com) of which Prestonpandemonium is part.

I suspect Nigel and I will be too busy pricing comics to join in the fireworks and dancing though.

It's really great to hear that so many of you are planning to travel to our wee event.

There is going to be a shuttle bus running between our venue and the National Library of Scotland on George IV Bridge.  Timings are still being finalised but keep checking the www.prestonpandemonium.com website for details.

Yes, the greatest comic event ever held (in a microbrewery...probably) is back.

Bring on the sarcasm - I can take it.  In fact I'm  really quite proud of Scotland's Smallest Comic event.  Not to mention the fact it brought Alan Grant and Ian Rankin together for the first time.

Prestonpandemonium III will take place on Saturday 31st May 2008 â?? 12.00â?? 3.00 p.m.  at The Prestoungrange Gothenburg (a.k.a. â??The Gothâ?), 227-229 High Street, Prestonpans, EH32 9BE

The Micro Mart in a Microbrewery has all sorts of comics for all sorts of people â?? vintage American and British comics and the latest Marvels and DCs; underground and small press comics; Civil War, the Ultimates and 52; European comics and manga; graphic novels and zines.

Several dealers and artists have already confirmed for this year â?? but we still want more!

If you want to be involved in any way: sell your collection; *send us a message of support*; run a workshop; do some signings; sell your own work; create something specially for PPIII -- as long as you donâ??t expect to be paid and donâ??t make any diva demands -- youâ??re inâ?¦

Scotlandâ??s Smallest Small Press event takes part during the annual 3 Harbours Arts Festival (www.3harbours.com) which attracts several thousand visitors.

Previous Prestonpandemonia have been featured in The List and Radio Scotland.

Admission is free.

Tables are ridiculously cheap - only £10.  Book now.

Further info www.prestonpandemonium.com

But you do make a very serious point.  If you prefer standing in a queue for hours to actually reading comics then PPIII isn't the event for you...probably.

The second Prestonpandemonium Comic Mart takes place on Saturday 4th November CHANGE OF DATE(11-3) upstairs in the Prestoungrange Gothenburg (a.k.a. The Goth), High Street, Prestonpans,

Alan Grant will be putting in an appearance.

Jump on a 26 bus from the centre of Edinburgh and look out for the totem pole. Prestonpans is not your regular small town. Prestonpandemonium is not your regular comic event (but it is small!).

Well, we really enjoyed it.  The photos can be seen here on the website everyone who helped to make the day such a success gets a mention.
 
We will be looking for lots more help, ideas & collaboration for the next one on 21st October.

It was absolutely brilliant!!  It went so well in fact that we are holding it again on Saturday 22nd *JULY* ;-)

Anyone else thought it was last weekend?  Can anyone take a few flyers or pass the word around.

Really hope you take/share a table.

Hi, allow me to introduce myself....I'm the chav who lives in Prestonpans and who is organising the mart.  

If you are in any doubt as to what sort of town "The Pans" is, take a look at these photos I took of some neds getting drunk in ma hoose - you might know them better as Malcy Duff and Nulsh.

It was a riot.  There was (organic) polenta and mung beans everywhere.

Come on guys, let's make it happen...
