Being as it’s the very last day of 2013, I should recap the fall touring season for Curls Studio. Excuses aside, it has been very busy for the past five months. Can’t believe Baltimore Comic-Con was September 7-8, 2013 and we are just starting to recap it!
On Saturday, I was invited to join Amy Chu’s panel, “Self Publishing: You Can Do It” featuring Jimmy Palmiotti, Danielle Corsetto, George O’Connor, Dean Haspiel, and myself. The audio is here, if you’d like to take a listen: http://carolynandjoeshow.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/baltimore-comic-con-self-publishing-panel/
I got to attend my first Harvey Awards, which is a nice dinner and awards show hosted on Saturday night. The winner for “Best Online Comics Work” was Mike Norton’s Battlepug. Since he was not present, Baltimore Comic-Con asked me to accept the award on his behalf, but I didn’t know who was going to win until the announcement was made to everyone. The lights were very blinding on stage, but my big joke was that I didn’t fall down when stepping up to the stage, so that’s winning half the battle!
On Sunday, I took part in the “Team Cul de Sac” panel with Chris Sparks, Joe Sutliff, Dawn Griffin, and Barbara Dale. Here is the link to audio from the panel: http://carolynandjoeshow.wordpress.com/2013/09/19/zarvox-presents-the-team-cul-de-sac-bcc13-panel
We were able to recruit a few people to walk with us for the Parkinson’s walk in DC because of the awareness from this panel. Here is the blog recap for the walk: http://curls-studio.blogspot.com/2013/11/recap-team-cul-de-sac-at-moving-day-2013.html
It was the greatest feeling to see several people at the show – even co-workers from the past couple full-time jobs I’ve held. Curls Studio really appreciates the support and enjoys seeing people come to the table year after year.

Hope to see you next year! Mark your calendars for a three-day show next year. It’s September 5-7, 2014!
