Comic retreat

ztoical

I'm not sure if this will work or if it would even be of any interest to anyone here but i figure I'd post about and see what peoples feedback is.

There is a comics retreat taking place in England in november and I thought it looked kind of interesting. Due to having two comics cons and 24 hour comics day between now and then I don't think I'll have the energy to travel to england for this one but was wondering if anyone thought it was worth having something like it here?

If it were to happen it wouldn't be till well into the new year I'd think.

Hmmm... we have that French con that begins with A that I can't remember in France in Jan ztoical (yeah that means I'm still up for it) but it does sound interesting and maybe just what I need to keep the juices flowing after 24 hour Comics Day.

Clearly that "A" on your head does stand for France, Murra...

I'm sorry...I'm sorry. I just couldn't resist. Beatings may now be administered.

The Venue

You can visit the North Yorkshire Retreats website (www.nyretreats.co.uk) for more info on the area the Retreat will be taking place and theres also a map and links on how to find and get to the venue by train, car and hot air balloon...
Okey maybe not hot air balloon. But theres a google map which has the road directions.
Any train goers I will email you the info, basically the nearest BIG station to the retreat is Middlesbrough train station
And then its taking the Middlesbrough to Whitby train, but getting off halfway at Lealholm train station, where we will pick you in our minibus and take you to the Old School in Great Fryupdale.
You can stop off and get booze and food if wanted and we can also get in what you likes anytime also from the local shops
Bear in mind the first nights (and possibly all weekends) drink and booze will all free and all breakfast, lunch and tea is catered for along with the essentials such as tea and coffee etc will be there to use

The Retreat, what's going down at it?

The comic artists attending so far are a prime slice of the cakey goodness

There will also be Live Art and graffiti all weekend from some of the top-notch graff headz

T-shirt and garment artiness will also be going on with Pizza Box clothing supplying pens and t-shirts etc to draw on
Bring any kicks (shoes you want to art up) old vinyl records we can paint on anything else you can imagine or want to draw on.

Also decks and other music mixing equipment will be on site in the DJ landing booth of the venue with DJs playing all weekend long.

Anyone who wants to play anything over the weekend bring your stacks of wax and other music formats. Anything goes be it tape to vinyl or mpfree

There will also be some live jamming sessions from the beatz machines over at Third EyeView Records with mcs joining in over the top.
