See You at LumaCon!

Overview of the main exhibition space from 2024. LumaCon is held at the Petaluma Community Center, with other activities in the lobby and nearby event rooms. 

This Saturday, Feb. 1, I will be at my favorite little comics convention in the world, LumaCon, in Petaluma, Calif. Hours are 10 am to 4 pm, and admission is FREE, so if you or someone in your family lives in the area and is comics-curious, it'll cost nothing but time to drop by.

I love LumaCon because it's put on by local librarians to encourage reading, art, and creativity. It has a craft area, a gaming room, and a bake sale. Tables are split about half and half between pros like me and young kids making their own stickers, prints, and zines on printers at home. What's neat is that LumaCon has been happening long enough (since 2015) that a few people who started out as kid amateurs have turned into young-adult pros. 

I'll be there selling books, talking about how I make comics, touching base with friends, and enjoying the pure positive energy. It's expected to rain, which will put a damper on a few outdoor activities like LARPing, but 95% of the action is indoors. Maybe it'd be a good way to spend a wet day.

Crafts.

Bake sale. Who couldn't love a comics convention with a bake sale?
