w00tstock!
By billamend on June 9th, 2010Posted In: News

I've just returned home from appearing in the Chicago edition of w00tstock, and I feel like the luckiest cartoonist on Earth right now. For those who don't know, w00tstock is an evening of geeky music and humor featuring the musical duo Paul and Storm, Wil Wheaton, Adam Savage and an assortment of guests. It started last fall with shows in San Francisco and LA, and has continued this spring with a Seattle, Portland, Chicago and Minneapolis tour. I'd met Paul and Storm at PAX and they were nice enough to extend an invitation to appear, which I immediately accepted. Forget public speaking, I wanted to meet Adam Savage!
Kidding aside, it's insanely fun speaking to a friendly crowd who actually "get" a lot of my dorkier strips, and the folks who came out to the Chicago show couldn't have been more awesome. Thanks to everyone who was there for making the night so special.
Update: Here's a pic I took of Adam and Wil just before the show started...

The GeekDad blog over at Wired just posted the e-mail interview they recently did with me. A big thank you to John Booth for his interest in my work, his great questions, and his patience with my slowness.
A few people liked the pic I posted on Twitter of my new iPad's custom wallpaper. It's Jason's rendering of Steve Jobs from my March 21 strip. Anyway, here's a link to the 1024x1024 image if you want to download it for your own use.
