San Francisco Comics Fest is an all-volunteer organization with a core mission of highlighting the vibrancy of the Bay Area’s comics community. The majority of the events making up the fest are organized by members of the community pitching ideas, providing venues, and volunteering. The fest is accepting event submissions for November 2 -4.

November 5 is reserved for Comic-Con’s Storytelling Across Media. The Comic-Con produced event will offer “a line-up of in-depth panels and workshops for everyone from aspiring cartoonists to professional storytellers.”

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.
