Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten that we’re about to have the fabulous Taco Quiz<\/a>. I just need to whip up an entry detailing the prizes for the winner and the runners-up, then we’ll be ready to roll.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I thought I would report on my visit to Staple<\/a>, the independent zine expo.
\n
\nIt seems incontrovertible that the expo is getting bigger every year. The tables sold out three months early, and they had exhibitors all the way out into the lobby. It also seems that the exhibitors are skewing toward a more professional end of the spectrum, and they are almost entirely comics-oriented. <\/p>\n

I made certain to spend all the cash I had in my pocket, which wasn’t much, but here’s what I picked up.
\n
\nThere’s the expo program, which is typically a marvel of small press in and of itself. Then I also got a chapbook of short fiction from D.T. Fullen who’s a part of the Gold County Papermill<\/a> collective. Immediately after I bought the chapbook I regretted not going back and buying out the rest of their selection. And finally, I got a comic from Round Rock-based Big Head Press<\/a>. They have a lot of comics material on their website. I bet if one had an RSS reader, one could get plenty of awesome reading out of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
