'SPX' stands for 'Small Press Expo' and it is the name of the awesome sauce con that I went to this weekend. Too much awesomeness to go into detail about at the moment, but I met the following people:
- Jeph Jacques of Questionable Content
- Kate Beaton of Hark a Vagrant! (And she drew me a sketch of one of the Bronte sisters because I was wearing her Bronte sister t-shirt. She's reading and it says "Aw yeah the hunkiest part")
- Jess Fink and Eric Colossal. I haven't read Eric's stuff (my partner has), but I <3 Chester XYV (which is erotic robotic Victorian...er...romance). Also I made them laugh with a story about priests' holes. (The secret rooms in English houses where people would hide Catholic Priests from the Anglicans who wanted to kill them.)
- Keith Knight (who draws the Knight Life)
- Julia Wertz, formerly of Fart Party and now her comic is called something new that I forget
- Meredith Gran of Octopus Pie
- Danielle Corsetto :D of Girls with Slighshots
- David Malki ! (of Wondermark) and I bought the book "Machine of Death" and so I got a card to tell me how I am going to die, so now I know to watch out for Engine Failure
- I also got a mini-comic "Don't Hate, Menstruate!" from Jen Vaughn. It's adorable.
