Road Trip

Today my friend Christian and I embarked on a 5-city road trip to distribute UA sample copies to the masses. Thank you to all the wonderful folks at the following locations for allowing me to stock your fine establishments with my humble little publication:

Vault of Midnight, Ann Arbor
Hero Quest Comics & Games, Howell
Clem's Collectibles, Lansing
Cards in the Corner, Lansing
Comic City, Novi
Comic Relief, Flint

I hope to do this again soon, as there are still a ton of shops I'd like to visit throughout the state. I also spent the evening putting together a new flier that I hope to plaster the city with soon.

Random Stuff

The cover image for issue 5 is now up. It looks sort of purple, even though the actual paper is tan. I wanted to use brown, but I couldn't find brown printer paper anywhere. If anyone knows where I can find some, please let me know.

In other news, I'll be spending the fall and winter preparing for an all-out spring/summer assault on comic conventions nationwide. This means I'll have to forgo attending many local events this fall, but I think the extra time for preparation will be worth it (although, I still plan to attend the show in St. Clair Shores on November 8). Here's a tentative list of the cities I'll be hitting:

Anaheim, CA
Novi, MI
Philadelphia, PA
Chicago, IL
Toronto, Ontario
Columbus, OH
New York, NY
St. Clair Shores, MI

Like I said, this is a tentative list, so it's possible that a show or two could be added. I'm super excited to hit the road and take Used Addictions to cities where people haven't heard of the book. But in the meantime, it's going to be a looooong winter.
