The Fiction Circus Interviews Uncle Staple? CUNNING SLIME!
Relax, everyone. HE DOES NOT NAME NAMES.
A permanent link!
He does, however, offer a very important challenge at the end that I think everyone needs to think about, and one important person needs to answer.
(maybe YOU)

Rob Perez rolled up from San Antonio, where he puts together ARTSLAM!, an awesome ongoing live art event. He made a slideshow, password is dbhguest.
Rob picked up the totally bitchin' Eric Powell piece at the afterparty:
I'm totally jealous, but am glad it went to a good home. The slideshow shows different points in the "making of" process. Very cool.

STAPLE! '08 Photos
Whew! What a weekend. I had a real blast down in Austin and I want to thank all the people that came by and picked up some of my books. I will certainly be back next year. I was really busy with my table, but I did get a chance to take some pics. Here's a few from my Flickr gallery:

See you all next year!

Uncle Staple's Wrap Up
Hey everbody! Sorry to take so long to post but I'm still recup'ing from the weekend.
Wow! STAPLE! 2008! What an awesome show it was. Thanks to our guests, exhibitors, volunteers, attendees, good folks at the Monarch and everyone else who helped to make it so.
The final attendance figure this year was close to 700 people, nearly a 50% increase from last year! My buddy David Martindale (aka D3) of www.EmptyAllegory.com photography got a great crowd shot from the old projection booth.
Packed! He took a lot more pics too, which tended to be mostly of cute girls. As always there are more good looking people at STAPLE! than any other comics related event in the country. I will stand by this statement!
Lot of press and write-ups about the show cropping up:
The TV was there! The TV!!!
All of our awesome webcomics panelists have posted reports:

And Texas Geek TV got video of the panel!
A couple more flikr sets here:

And what I think is my fave wrap-up of all so far, by exhibitor Santanu Rahman of Austin Kung Fu Acadamey:
I challenge anyone else to try and top that!
I got some pics myself but they are all on this old-timey disposable camera I picked up at ye olde antique shoppe (aka Walgreen's) and I need to send off to the museum to get them developerated. Should have them back by next year - hope that I will see you then!
Love,
Uncle Staple
