Mission: Comics and Art moves to new location August 31

Moving Day is at hand.

Mission: Comics and Art will be closing doors at 3520 20th Street on August 30 and reopening at 2250 Mission Street on August 31. The new location will provide greater foot traffic for the popular Mission District comic shop as well as an opportunity to fulfill the objective of putting up a proper sign. Mission opens at noon on August 31.

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.
