Travel plans and some news

Posted on November 26, 2007 by Brigid Alverson

A couple of announcements to start the week: I’m going to NYAF! It sounds like there’s going to be a pretty good manga scene there, and I’m always happy to have an excuse to visit my former hometown. If you’re going and you’d like to meet up, drop me an e-mail at the address on the right.

Also, I will be moderating a panel discussion on manga at MoCCA on Monday, December 3. It’s not up on their calendar yet but should be shortly, so if you’re going to be in or near New York next Monday, drop in and join us. I expect it will be lively.

Same Hat posts a video clip of a BBC interview with horror manga-ka Junji Ito.

UPDATE: OK, I had more in this post but WordPress seems to have gobbled it up. I’m at work but will re-post later.
