There are some exciting things on my calendar for January! If you're local (aka Northeast States and Ontario), I think you should make it to one of them. :)

Baltimore: Hedwig!

For those of you who enjoy Hedwig and the Angry Inch, my childhood best friend Adam Cooley (the original inspiration for Reese) will be performing his own rendition of said musical for Creative Alliance in Baltimore this Saturday, January 8th at 8:00.

During the production there will be an array of projected images shone above the band, all hand-drawn by yours truly. It's a very different style for me - I was trying to mimic the primitive style of the art featured in the film - so come prepared!

Adam is one of the funniest guys I know and his voice makes me melt. I hope he'll make you melt, too. Come out and see him (and if you see me in the audience feel free to say hello). Here's the Facebook invite, and here's where you can get tickets.

Toronto: Signing at Paradise Comics!

While I'm up north visiting friends, I'll be schlepping a box or two of GWS Volume 5 with me (along with the rest of the books) to my favorite city, Toronto. :) I'll be selling & signing at Paradise Comics on Yonge Street January 19th from 4-7.

Please join us afterwards for drinks & food at Nearby Bar Whose Name Escapes Me! If you were there last year, you'll remember; this has been our traditional hang-out after any Paradise signing, and is within walking distance to the shop. Hope to see you guys there!

Rochester: Signing at Boulder?

What say you, Rochester? Is there a day you'd like me to come do our usual rendezvous at Boulder for some book signing and booze-infused coffee? I'll be available January 17, 18, and 20. Let me know which day you prefer in the comments!
