Indy Webcomics Group Meet-up May 4th?
May 1st, 2007Hey Guys!
I saw some chatter about a meet-up this weekend on the google group. Lets go ahead and put this blog to the use it was designed for. Here is the thread about this week’s meet-up. We can discuss it by leaving comments.
Also, let us not forget our first comics run in INtake next week! Has anyone been able to send in their second batch? I have mine drawn but not inked yet.
Also check out the Podcasting Communities’ rendition of Johnathon Coulton’s song 1st of May recorded for the Joe Murphy Benefit Fund. Rich Sigfrit, who I co-host for on the Cinemafreaks, is featured on the recording as the voices of Sean Connery and William Shatner.
WARNING: if you’ve never heard 1st of May, prepare for a wonderfully melodical use of the f-bomb.

This weekend could work for me…preferably Sunday, but I could make Friday or Saturday work.
I think we have a couple people doing the grad thing this week, don’t we? So something more informal might work best.
May 1st, 2007 at 7:34 pm
Yes I agree, mui mui informale!
Anyone up for Spiderman 3 on Friday? Or perhaps going out for wings? I can cookout…
May 1st, 2007 at 7:53 pm
Sounds good to me. I think I’m out of work around 6:00, but we’re hosting a show, so I’m not sure how that will end up going. If we can’t all coordinate enough time to partake in a movie, Dinner and chatter sounds excellent with me.

So Friday looks like the most common day. Can we get everyone to meet at the Steak N’ Shake where we met the first and then we can roll-out from there once we decide what to do?
7:00 sound good?
May 2nd, 2007 at 8:51 am
Sounds like a plan. We’ll definitely try to be there! Also, if the movie is an option you might want to check the times at the theaters around that area.
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:29 pm
Ok, there’s showings at the AMC Loews College Park 14 for Spiderman 3 at 7:15, 7:45, or 8:15 so chances are we’ll be able to make one of them.
And alternately we could just go grab some grub at our leisure. So if you plan on voting for the movie, I suggest you snack before hand if you don’t like paying for theater food.

woot woot! I may be a bit late…I have an end-of-my-graduate-career portfolio presentation at 4 that day. But I can’t see it running three hours….still, slap on travel time to that and we’ll see! I’m definitely gonna go for it, though!
By the way, fantastic design job for this page!

I don’t exactly know where to put this…er….I guess here will do? But Chris and I are having a contest for webcartoonists over at Metrophor, the prize for which is a month of free advertising on Metrophor and a hard copy sketch from me (much more elaborate than a simple doodle, but still a sketch).
We’ve got the details here-

7 at Steak n’ Shake works for me. I’d like to submit an alternative to the Loews theater, though. There is a Kerasotes in Trader’s Point, which is also very close. It’s a newer theater and is a bit cleaner. It has times at 7:40, 8:10, 9:10, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, and 11:30.
May 4th, 2007 at 6:30 am
That sounds awesome Pat. I’ve seen that theater’s name when I’ve checked times but I didn’t know where it was. If we could hit the 7:40, that’d probably work out best.
Also I’m going to warn you guys that I’m bringing a microphone and might be recording stock audio of fan reactions to the movie to use in a segment on my podcast.

Robin,
Cool! This is exactly the sort of thing that you guys should use this blog for. Announcing contests, asking for guest strips, posting cool articles, promoting a new project…
If it’s something important like your contest, go ahead and start a new post for it. First you’ll need to send me a login you’d like to use and I’ll e-mail you back the default password. You’ll be able to login and make new posts instead of just commenting.
Send me the login you’d like to indywebcomics@gmail.com
May 4th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
I was there! And then I left!
May 4th, 2007 at 11:22 pm
Great meeting, everybody! Gotta do this again sometime soon.
May 5th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
Yes, especially when the movie’s aren’t selling out.
Hey Seth, it was great meeting you. Hopefully you’ll come back out for the next meet-up.
May 5th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
I will come back. I like this group. Do I need to join this forum or do I just comment when the mood hits me?
May 5th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Oops… I commented before I did a thorough search and found your e-mail address.
May 5th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
Hi Seth! Comment away! Comments are free and make everybody happy.
E-mail me a login name you’d like to use for when you write posts.
Send to indywebcomics@gmail.com
I’ll write back with the login url and default password.
May 6th, 2007 at 10:28 am
Um, how do you make a new post, exactly? I don’t see a button or link that says “new post” or a login button or anything like that. I’m in need of some guest comics, and wanted to start a thread…
May 6th, 2007 at 10:44 am
the login url is www.indywebcomics.com/wp-admin
Might be helpful to bookmark it. From there click on “Write Post” and then it’s just a simple text editor. Make sure you click on the category “Blog” over on the right and not “Links”.
May 6th, 2007 at 8:40 pm
Um… my comic is Ponder and Enlightening… (the n is missing in the link).
May 7th, 2007 at 8:16 am
Sorry we couldn’t make it Friday. We had something come up at the last minute. So who was able to make it and what’d you guys end up doing? And I’m not sure if this is worthy of a new post, but who has been able to send in strips to INtake for our debut on Thursday?
May 7th, 2007 at 8:39 am
Hey Ron, I was going to write a ridiculously long “Where Were You?” e-mail to needle the point. Ha! No worries. Spiderman 3 was sold out so we had drinks at Gatsby’s instead. That would be me, Sam, Pat, Robin, Jason and Robin’s friend Seth and his lady. Though Robin’s friends weren’t able to join us for drinks.
So, I still need to record fan reactions of the movie. I’m going to try to see it tonight. Anyone want to come with? My cell number is on the contact info document.
And to answer your question so far I’ve sent three strips to Neal and I’ve got a bunch more planned.
