As the little thing in the left sidebar says, the Alternative Press Expo is coming up on November 1 & 2 here in balmy San Francisco. APE is in my opinion one of the better products of Western civilization, or certainly a nice way to pass a couple of days and spend all your money on beautiful objects, and if you’re going to hang out in a convention center then the Concourse is not a bad one. This year is particularly exciting because (a) there seem to be ridiculously many more exhibitors, so many that they’ve moved the overpriced snack stand somewhere else to make room for tables, and (b) the special guests include Brooklyn eminences Jessica Abel, Matt Madden, and Megan Kelso, and also that peanut-head guy.
In order to enhance the general coolness of APE by contrast, we made a lame error. The table listed as Global Hobo in the program guide is actually Thien Pham and Briana Miller. Global Hobo will be sharing a table with Damien Jay, Melanie Lewis, and Brian Kaas; look for Damien’s name in the guide. It’s in the same area, and it’s all good anyway.
