Help Toby Craig!

My good buddy comics creator Toby Craig, who some of you know, this weekend completed the MS150, a 150 mile two-day bike ride from Houston to Austin, to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. He is trying to reach a donation goal of $1200 and you can help sponsor him by clicking here to donate. Read his livejournal post about the ride here.

EDIT: You may remember Toby's excellent article on bookbinding here.

Frank A. Rincon, co-host of Half Hour Wasted (a weekly 30 minute podcast about comic books, movies, TV and more), made the trek down from Dallas to interview various and sundry exhibitors at the show, as well as yours truly, Uncle Staple. Check out episodes 59 and 61 to hear it all.

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:
