Sounds like time to start a Motor City Dojo Dinner thread so that we can plan for a nice group get-together. :D

Stan, do you think the newest Usagi Sketchbook will be ready and available at the Motor City Con?

I don't know if I will have the time to put a new sketchbook together.

I have not heard if Sergio has accepted an invitation to Motor City. It would be nice to have a travel buddy.

I just talked to Sergio, and he will also be going to Motor City.

You might remember the last time we were there, Sergio did a Groo T-shirt design for the convention. This time there will be a Groo/Usagi shirt, providing we can find the time to draw one.

A Motor City dinner might be nice. Maybe that Japanese restaurant is still in business.

Wonderful news, all around!!

I believe Cherry Blossum was the restaurant we went to last time. It is, indeed, still in business :)

I have a very brief interview with Sensei here, from Comic Expo in Long Beach, this past weekend: http://www.dailytitan.com/2010/02/longbeachcomicexpo/

Thank you, Sensei!

Very nice MerryRogue! The camera images were nice (It would help to have a external mic but no problem hearing with headphones) and it was amazing to hear that Golden Apple does 120 - 200 shows a year. Nice photos too. Thanks for covering it. It was fun to see your perspective. Peace, maka

Thanks, Maka!

Indeed, we're only shooting with a FlipCam and we could really use an external mic, as you mentioned. It seems like it doesn't pick up much outside of 5 feet away unless it's particularly loud.

It's definitely a learning experience.

Thanks again for your kind words. ^_^

Nooooooo! What would an Atlanta dojo member have to do (short of enrolling at SCAD) to get into this presentation?

WILL IT BE FOR SALE ON THIS SITE????

*ahem*

I mean, will we have a chance to buy it ourselves, without having to go to the convention?

Outside of enrolling at SCAD, would it be possible to get together for dinner, breakfast, a drink, anything? I am excited that you will be in Atlanta, but it would be very disappointing if there were no opportunity to meet you here.

It is still very early, and I don't even know what dates I will be in Atlanta. I have two other conventions I want to do in October, so I will not be in Georgia for very long.

Once dates are set, I will ask if it is all right to have a couple of guests sit in on my presentation, or maybe the faculty will arrange a signing somewhere.

I can't promise anything right now, though.

Providing the trip to SCAD is in mid-October, I will be at the Long Beach Comic-Con over Halloween weekend. I will probably be doing a presentation there.

I will be signing at Things From Another World at Universal City, Hollywood, for Free Comic Book Day, May 1. I'll post details later, but it will be in the late afternoon. They will also have 14 plushies, a few days before the official release. I also plan to give away copies of one of the Fantagraphics Color Specials.
