IWG 2008 Cookout Report
September 30th, 2008Hello again,
It seems we’re powerless to stop tradition. It’s now been over a year since our first cookout back in ought seven. A lot of things have changed, perhaps the date being the most obvious of them.
We had record turnout, just the right amount of food and good times. Unfortunately, we were all too busy to bother taking any pictures for the album. My most sincere apologies.
I can only assure you that punitive measures have been taken and those responsible have been punished to the full extent of the law. That law being that wherever people get together and have a party, some jerk is gonna take out his flip phone and start taking pictures. And if he doesn’t, the host of the party is required to go out back and cut a “switch” which is to be longer than his arm but no wider at the base than his thumb. So, thank you to everyone who made it. Old friends and new acquaintances. You’re welcome back anytime.
And now that it’s officially October, it behooves us to pick a date for our next Indy Webcomics Group meetup. October 19th or 26th look promising. What do you all think? October 25th may also be a good date since that is when the Next Panel Alternative Comics Expo is happening, in Urbana Illinois. We might be able to make this a group day-trip and drive out together. In that case it would count as our regular meetup for this month and we’d resume meeting up as usual in November.
Also, don’t forget Mid-Ohio Con is this weekend. I’m sure a few of us are planning on going. Perhaps we will see you there? It may happen!

Champaign seems a little far. I say the 26th on the Southside.

Sounds good to me, I’ll send out an email.
I’m still going to, Next Panel though.
