As we’ve already mentioned, this weekend (April 24 & 25) is the annual Stumptown Comics Fest, Portland’s very own showcase of creative greats in illustration from near and far. If you’re looking for something different and memorable to fill your two days off, there will be ALL kinds of colorful, dynamic, sometimes-book-sometimes-not entertainment. Here are the details:

PLACE: Lloyd Center Doubletree Hotel in Portland
TIME: 10 AM to 6 PM
OUR TABLE: #30 (Come buy a brand-spankin’ new copy of the newest Kid Beowulf title Song of Roland and have it signed—and illustrated!—by its creator, Alexis E. Fajardo, who will be here all weekend.)

And if you want to jump-start the festivities, here are several events going on tonight and throughout the weekend:
