Starting at 10:45am PST today is the weekly morning talk show, Brunch with Ben & Friends, hosted by Ben Schwartz, owner of my favorite local comic shop, Empire’s Comics Vault, and co-hosted by good friend and fellow local comicker, Kyrun Silva of Taurus Comics.
Be sure to stop by and check it out! If not, I’ll be sure to link to the archived show in the “Press” section of the website once it’s posted.
This Saturday kicks off an exciting new event at a local Sacramento brewery––New Helvetia––that puts the spotlight on local creators. Here’s the description:
A monthly celebration of books, beer & storytelling at New Helvetia Brewing Company. Come join us for our inaugural event! This month we are excited to welcome local comic book creators Kyrun Silva of Taurus Comics, D. Bethel, and Jon Williams & Ben Robinson (of SpaceOddities). Come sip on craft beer and hear their stories. The event will be held on Saturday, August 21 from 2pm-8pm, and admission is free (though, if you’re a drinker, you should check out the excellent beer New Helvetia has on tap)! If you’re on Facebook, let the exhibitors know you’re coming by responding to the Facebook event (or click on the image below).
I’ve known Kyrun, Jon, and Eben––the guy that spearheaded the event––for a long time and it’ll be a great time to just catch up in-person (albeit safely)!
On Sunday I’ll be at the grand opening of Hobby Quest in Elk Grove, and on National Spider-Man Day, no less! It’s a brand new tabletop gaming shop that will be celebrating its opening all week long! However, things kick off on Sunday, August 1st, and I’ll be there from 12-4pm. Stop by to say hi! More importantly, stop by to check out this great new store!
