Is it just me, or does it sometimes seem like everybody loves Ren except for Jamie? In fact, Jamie seems to be the only one so far to have anything negative to say about her at all!
Okay, so remember how I’ve been telling you all about how I’m running with some of my comics friends like Kate Beaton and maybe Sally Bloodbath and some other people to raise money for Women for Women’s Congo Program? Well, in case you forgot, we are all running a 5K on September 25th to raise money for this great program that helps women in war-torn regions recover from the trauma of war and take leadership roles in the rebuilding of their communities. Our team is called Team Comics and as I type this, we’ve raised a jaw-droppingly great amount of $1325! Go team! You can still donate on our team page here if you like.
Anyway, I’m not here to bug you for more money for our race (though you can still give if you like)! I would actually like to call your attention to a different race called the Race for the Cure, which raises money for cancer research. I have some friends from my dojang (Korean word for “dojo,” where I train hapkido) who are running the Race for the Cure this year, so if you were thinking about giving to Team Comics but haven’t yet, feel free to direct your funds towards Warriors Mobilizing Against Cancer, the team name that members of my dojang are running under (cleverly also an acronym for our dojang, World Martial Arts Center). As I type this, they haven’t raised much (maybe $200) so they could surely use some more funds for their cause!
I actually can’t join my dojang to run in the Race for the Cure because it takes place during the weekend I’ll be in Maryland for SPX (Sept. 12). However, I can still try and drum up some funds for my dojang family, so I hope you’ll forgive my shameless internet panhandling! It’s all for a good cause!
Speaking of SPX, I’m not only MCing the Ignatz Awards for the second year (which you should definitely check out, I have some fun stuff in store), but I’ll also be on an awesome panel that my buddy Evan Dahm put together about world-building in comics! It should be pretty awesome! I’ll let you know as soon as I have a date/time for the panel, as well as who else will be on it (some stellar names so far!).
