It reminded me of <a href="http://www.comicsandgraphicsfest.com/">Brooklyn Comic Fest</a> a bit, except larger scale. The free admission definitely makes a huge difference. This festival had a diverse and friendly crowd without being overwhelming the way Brooklyn Fest was. My tote bags did surprisingly well, I'm used to only selling maybe a few, but I actually ran out of all the Lemon + Lime totes that I brought, I even had a few people asking for them after they ran out! :O<br />My comics and silkscreen books also did really well.  I found <a href="http://torontocomics.com/">TCAF</a> a more enjoyable festival than <a href="http://www.stumptowncomics.com/">Stumptown</a>, but this is my first time exhibiting both events that have evolved so much over the decade. I would love to do both festivals again if I get the chance!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBHMwrnH3DZdkIYx_nhbTV5Ua444QxK5uLuzY3S6iYNvpRc-NTdpx_j1itH7XImt1lcYkBi884K_zaDCwa97M819YFy2Ho46xQhkC9tF_WS4VnM6Wcen_-tgRk-A138fUpgGkFzygTGvU/s1600/5719657867_6c43aed01f_z.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607586903378925586" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBHMwrnH3DZdkIYx_nhbTV5Ua444QxK5uLuzY3S6iYNvpRc-NTdpx_j1itH7XImt1lcYkBi884K_zaDCwa97M819YFy2Ho46xQhkC9tF_WS4VnM6Wcen_-tgRk-A138fUpgGkFzygTGvU/s320/5719657867_6c43aed01f_z.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Having tex-mex brunch at Sneaky Dee's!</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> With Irme, Taylor and their friends Agatha and Laura (pictured below)<br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjuJ3UTV2Hrrk-oGZpftKjxGTtaBPyR8xN2_BxqUQXBI1vSBAhPEm6x-unrXPMD8lmZl38apBoD2VGqJg6Am5QW34PAxb5gz0114z2CCKulwOA4KNbBAulgs1MDjl4NQ35QfrZdkIHk20/s1600/5722877818_a09a40ed96_z.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607586634221768578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjuJ3UTV2Hrrk-oGZpftKjxGTtaBPyR8xN2_BxqUQXBI1vSBAhPEm6x-unrXPMD8lmZl38apBoD2VGqJg6Am5QW34PAxb5gz0114z2CCKulwOA4KNbBAulgs1MDjl4NQ35QfrZdkIHk20/s320/5722877818_a09a40ed96_z.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px;" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">The Dunking Donuts of Toronto, or as they call it, "Timmies" This was Deo's dream come true.</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkuhJ48-QpXar2N7lq2Km2N9FkZNz0UENQUqbVtDAVZ9Zz72LHtqVlOMMhklsMeJWJ2fV8f8ErdRsI-H9eZ8MaswColseQhVBsZqJUtphzGGcbSSTP3NCcPRhirWSEjFsM3JYPgKUaHC4/s1600/5720219602_cf98a4394e_z.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607586309392156898" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkuhJ48-QpXar2N7lq2Km2N9FkZNz0UENQUqbVtDAVZ9Zz72LHtqVlOMMhklsMeJWJ2fV8f8ErdRsI-H9eZ8MaswColseQhVBsZqJUtphzGGcbSSTP3NCcPRhirWSEjFsM3JYPgKUaHC4/s320/5720219602_cf98a4394e_z.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Exploring the <a href="http://www.thedistillerydistrict.com/">Distillery District</a> where we had a sake tasting, some artisanal gelato, and a cheese sampling at a place that imports from Quebec!

Being there for APE made it my fourth time visiting this year and it's never short of a crazy good time. The weather was near perfect, different from last year when it rained and I was worried about not having plastic bags for the posters I sold.<br /><br />The party at <a href="http://www.lastgasp.com/">Lasp Gasp</a> which kicked off the weekend was so good... it's a good feeling being surrounded by millions and billions of books while enjoying beverage in one hand and fancy h'our dourves in the other. (Or as <a href="http://www.elizafrye.com/">Eliza</a> and I put it, a cartoonist's wet dream) Seriously, endless platters of </span><span style="font-size:100%;">smoked salmon (!!) lots of cheeses and fruits, spicy curried chicken... bbq pork sliders. </span><span style="font-size:100%;">yummm<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">Jon and I did very well at our table! It was fun getting to meet and hang out with some folks who made it out. Got to know and chat with <a href="http://www.strawberryghost.com/">Helen Parson</a>, she is super sweet and I hope to run into her much more. Chatted with <a href="http://www.catlauigan.com/">Cat</a> who is super cool. She was doing a residency in Oakland and has now returned to NY!  My new book did really well, I brought just a handful and made it out with 1 copy left. :) We went to a party at <a href="http://twitter.com/remoteryan">Ryan</a>'s place and got to check out his rooftop with an amazing view of the city!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKXfYcNB6R4pgwUYFXoeH557RS0SBGbMYYBlCz56bfMtq0DD_Q4V9YcwAu5157bghs4FnxrhsnyXPI6esdB3QfHvwGneAm6RebLc8wFYqjfliDiXzNN1sBw-4PxEVR_CfC33ZaxhLESE/s1600-h/7631_525398774912_43100163_31248383_24661_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395974861154361858" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKXfYcNB6R4pgwUYFXoeH557RS0SBGbMYYBlCz56bfMtq0DD_Q4V9YcwAu5157bghs4FnxrhsnyXPI6esdB3QfHvwGneAm6RebLc8wFYqjfliDiXzNN1sBw-4PxEVR_CfC33ZaxhLESE/s320/7631_525398774912_43100163_31248383_24661_n.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" /></a><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">We did plenty of touristy things of course :) Jon and I sure are speedy walkers! We walked pretty much everywhere, all the parks, saw the full house houses. Japantown (checked out the <a href="http://www.newpeopleworld.com/">New People</a> store) Did the Golden Gate bridge and Haight st. Ate lots of amazing burritos.<br /><br />The photo above is of Jon in the distance and one of my all time closest friends, Angie, at the sutra baths at Ocean Beach. We explored some caves and ended the evening at the <a href="http://www.beachchalet.com/">Beach Chalet</a>. We got there when they had an amazing happy hour of 2 dollar pints and oysters! They brew all of their own beers, my favorite was definitely the Fleishhacker stout. :)<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">My new book "<a href="http://jentong.com/rainbowandi.html">rainbow & i</a>" is now available to view on my <a href="http://www.jentong.com/">site</a>! Be sure to check it out. :)</span><br /></div></div>
