Bay Area Comic Events Update October 10, 2016

I’ve started a tinyletter! You can now receive this list in your email box so you never need to visit this website again. In a perfect world, this updated event listing will go out every Monday, but this is an imperfect world so it’ll on occasion not arrive on a Monday. What else can you find in The Shared Universe’s tinyletter? I don’t know. It’s an evolving idea. When relevant I’ll likely add Bay Area comic news (stuff like this) and possibly non-Bay Area comic news I find interesting. I only make two promises: to do my best to capture every upcoming event and only send out one tinyletter per week. Before we get to the event list you can sign up by popping your email address in the box below:

Jesse Russell

Before Oakland, there was Madison, Wisconsin. In Madison, the hours that weren’t filled up by my day job were typically devoured by event planning and running the city’s popular arts and politics news site, Dane101. Some of the events I organized include an annual two-night cabaret/carnival/masquerade party called the Fire Ball Masquerade, Madison's biggest non-city sponsored Halloween party, the geek culture focused MadPubQuiz of Awesomeness, and the first Whedonesque Burlesque in the country. Having successfully reshaped the reality of Madison, Wisconsin I packed up and moved to the Bay Area in February of 2013. In addition to comics, I enjoy imbibing cocktails and beer, exploring foreign cities, consuming food of various temperatures, hearing music performed live, losing at board and card games, and getting caught in the rain.
