1. NEWS
A. Go APE with us this weekend!
---
This month's newsletter is a little different - we're getting reading to exhibit (table #611) at the Alternative Press Expo (APE) this weekend at the Concourse Exhibition Center in San Francisco, CA (www.comic-con.org/ape/).
So if you're in town, celebrate Halloween early with our fantastically illustrated books.
We'll feature our new illustrated tale You Might be a Monster: and other Stories I Made Up by the pop culture artist Attaboy. What if you combined Shel Silverstein and Tim Burton with a dollop of Dr. Seuss? You'd get Attaboy!
Eclectix Arts called Attaboy's book "a perfect hip gift for yourself or some kids in need of inspired imagination."
See a special live performance of You Might be a Monster! Attaboy and his friendly cast of thousands will read the poems and act out the monsters at the The Dark Room in San Francisco on October 13 & 20th. Catch the Kid-Ult Kaberet, Live! It includes Kandy, Kids, KAOS, and A Kissing Booth with a French bulldog!
