It's that time again!

 

Big-5 War Comics Banquet / Auction (coincides with Thursday of San Diego Con)

Date: Thursday, July 24

Time: 8:00-10:30

Where: Filippi's Pizza Grotto

Address: 1747 India St San Diego 92101

 

 

As in the past, we'll be charging $20.00 a head. That pays for salads for everybody AND you can order anything off the entree or pizza menu. You can also order sodas/non-alcoholic drinks on that tab. If you want to order any alcohol, the waitress will keep a separate tab and you'll pay that "cash bar" style at the end. The extra $$ will go toward underwriting Russ Heath's meal. We'll take the proceeds from the auction and use some for underwriting next year's guest AND send a little nest-egg to Russ Heath and Sam Glanzman.

 

Everybody's invited

Special guest -- Russ Heath (not 100% sure, but 95% a done deal)

Auction of items (for attendees of the banquet that night) that the group has scored over the past year--

Sam Glanzman / Lewis Glanzman original cover art to A Sailor's Story Volume 1 (the inset portrait is Lewis Glanzman's brushes painted while Sam was a sailor in WWII and Sam's Steven's is the backdrop.)

We have a donation from Tim Truman as well as a Heath donation. I don't have pix of those yet.

You are also welcome to bring your own items to auction off that night. We're inviting people to bring any things that they'd like to auction. You may specify how much of the proceeds from the auction will go toward the Big-5 group (20% minimum. In other words, people who donate an item pocket a maximum of 80%. If you want to donate more or the whole thing, that's up to you.) We'll have some cool little surprises on hand as always.

Hope you can make it!

[font:Arial Black]Please RSVP with a headcount if you ARE planning on attending.[/font]

Best,

Mick

Man o man, I want to go!! :cry:

 

No kidding.

 

Mick, how is Russ' Health? Any chance he will be signing or perhaps sketching?

 

Russ is still kicking. Mobility is a bit less, but he manages to toodle around with some help. He's still signing and sketching. We're going to have a cadre of people helping him to the convention on Friday so that he can sign for fans(and potentially sketch if he's up to it. . .but it's ALWAYS been tough to lock him down AT the event. Peter scored something years ago at a convention, but outside of that and maybe one other exception, he doesn't like to draw AT the cons. Usually, he's cool with handling commissions if fans want him to send something back to them). He'll be in artists alley on that day, but that'll be the only day he's there. On that note, if there's anybody who wants to organize some kind of signature series signing, feel free to do so. He'll probably be at his table between 10:30 and 2:00. Something like that.

Thanks for asking!
