This is pretty cool ... Calls for workshops for underground comics weekend . It's a lot cooler with a better vibe than comic con, more creative . Would be cool to see creative folks speak !!!

Details, as always, are posted at http://www.comic-con.org > > For the past several years, APE has hosted workshops conducted by local cartoonists on a variety of topics. We just had a last-minute cancellation from one of our Saturday afternoon workshops, so I’ll put one more call-out to my local artist list to see if anyone’s interested and available. If you’re already exhibiting at APE, this is a great way to bring a little extra attention to yourself at the convention; if you’re not attending, it’s a way to score a free pass for you and a friend. > > Please read the descriptions below to get a sense of what’s being offered this year. The canceled workshop was on the subject of character design, so if that’s one of your specialties, you won’t even have to think of a new topic. > > Thanks for your consideration!

No need to wear your sparkly sweat suit (unless that’s your thing), just bring yourself and be ready to draw! Fleet Room > > 1:00-2:00 Inking for Reluctant Inkers—Inking is an integral part of comics; for some it's easy, for others it's terrifying. If you're looking to move past Microns and incorporate old school inking in your work, you should definitely attend this seminar with Mark Haven Britt. Basic techniques such as using a nib, drawing a straight line with a brush, spattering and masking will be covered. Learn some basic exercises/games to improve dexterity as well as strategies to get over fears of "screwing up the drawing" and focus on the decisive fun of completing the drawing will be discussed. Inking can be incredibly fun. Fleet Room > > 2:00-3:00 Graphic Humor 101—Join award-winning cartoonist Jonathan Lemon (Rabbits Against Magic) for a crash course in graphic humor and the fundamentals of comedy in this laugh-packed workshop. Fleet Room > > 3:00-4:00 PoetryComics—Great poems make great comics. In this class, Cara Goldstein will explore the balance of words and images, while looking at poetic cartoonists such as Gabrielle Bell, Hope Larson, Nate Powell, Lilli Carre' and Craig Thompson. Pieces in Dave Morice's book PoetryComics, which covers poems by Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, and William Shakespeare, will also be read. All levels of drawing and writing are welcome. Fleet Room > > 4:00-5:00 > > 5:00-6:00 Hip-Hop Heroes—For 20 years, Age Scott (Won and Phil) has been pushing boundaries and taking risks with his comics, exploring music, pop culture, and other non-traditional subject matter. In this workshop, Age will discuss his experiences as a creator and the importance of working outside the mainstream. Fleet Room

day of the week for regular show and tell?

by Marina Kukso

hi all, we'd like to start doing a weekly informal show and tell - kind of like a 5 minutes of fame, but more informal. anyone could share something that they're working on, or something interesting, and we all listen and participate. are you a sudoer who would be interested in being a participant in something like this? if you are, what day(s) of the week might you be interested in doing this? also, we'd like to pick a day of the week when folks are likely to be around anyway so that anyone who's around can listen in for a bit, participate, go back to what they're doing. if there's a day of the week that sounds like it would fit that bill, please reply all. - marina

cats with wifi detectors + sudoMesh

by Romy Ilano

In the latest OReilly newsletter Ellen F. writes about a cat with a radio collar who wanders around neighborhoods to check for weak points in neighborhood wifis. I'm wondering if SudoMesh could do something similar - attach a radio collar to an outdoors cat to detect existing Sudomesh networks? Maybe that would be a fun hack! https://www.mapr.com/blog/the-internet-of-cat-toys?imm_mid=0c3ab9&cmp=em-na… One cat, a radio collar, and a night on the town – this little adventure turned into an entertaining article in *Wired* magazine 8 August 2014 by Andy Greenberg about the creative use of a feline investigator to find weak points in security of the neighborhood’s wifis <http://www.wired.com/2014/08/how-to-use-your-cat-to-hack-your-neighbors-wi-…> . ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Sudo Room looking RAD for the fundraising video: we need all sudo-ers!!! Oct. 5th

by Noemie Serfaty

Sudoer! As you may know already, the film collective is preparing a bad ass fundraising video, in order to help raise 2 million $ for the Omni. The video being a crucial aspect of the crowdfunding campaign, we need your participation! The film collective's concept is to do a one shot walkthrough of the OMNI IN ACTION. *We need as many sudo-ers as possible to participate in the shoot *that will take place on *OCTOBER 5th from noon to 5pm! *We're not sure it will last that long, but we are sure that we all need to be ready to shoot by noon. Please save the date! It will be super fun too! The video concept will be something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Sr-vxVaY_M Except that instead of rich people dining, we'd have awesome people building the Omni or doing their awesome project. What we have in mind, is very concrete activities that show that we are building the Omni for the greater good. The camera would stop in front of the person absorbed in their activity and they would be like "hey! I'm repairing this so that it's safe for kids to use!" or "hey! I'm making a shelf so we can do this or that! *Sudoer, you who are reading this now:* in order to pull this video off, we need your participation! Give me a sign if you're in! ======================= We also need to figure out what activities sudo-ers would be doing inside sudo. Here are my suggestions: - *Work on actual construction projects*, or moving stuff. It's an opportunity to work on the space! Anything you had planned in this vein could happen on october 5th! Do let me know what you have in mind, and we'll figure out in more detail what to do. The more people will be in the space working on stuff, even just putting up signs or making the space look more pretty, the better. - Work on cool sudo projects! *sudo mesh*, but then it would need to be somewhat visual. Working on the weird antennas or the pico stations... I would love it if some of you mesh people had suggestions of what you'd be doing and what the person who would be asked what they're doing would answer in a concise way. *Oakland Wiki*, if the Oakland wiki peeps are down! *The robot*, because it's fun. We'd need to have a fun and convincing thing to say about it: "I'm programming the robot so that people can (...) ?" Jake, any suggestion - "kill all the humans" excluded :) ? *Francisco* working on vinegar, or cooking, or walking in with vegetables form the market to cook something? Feel free to suggest other things! The general idea, I think, is to suggest that we're all about a radical commoning of resources, and do things that benefit the greater community in an evident way. Write to me if you have ideas on how you could participate in this! Thank you!
