24 Hours From Q-Town 2014 Edition

24 HCD Flyer 2014

Hi Kids!

We’re back, and I’ll be blogging live every hour (more or less–might have to snooze sometime) for 24 hours from the Game Room of KABOOM Test Labs on the west side of Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA (that’s where Q-Town comes in: Boston is also known as Beantown, Kansas City as Cow Town, Chicago is Chi-town, the list goes on. When we moved here in 1987, I thought that Albuquerque is the only town I ever heard of with two Q’s in it, so I came up with Q-Town–way more info than you really need, but there it is…).

But I digress…

Anyway, we’ll all be here just like we have been since 2008 (practically a tradition, eh?) keeping you updated on the progress of our participants with photos, and the winners of our periodic raffle drawings, and which of our sponsors were good enough to supply us  with their support, especially KABOOM Test Labs, who once again have been gracious enough to give us a place to play for the full 24 hours.

So come on back and check in often. We’ve got some really cool stuff planned, and you don’t want to miss out on any of the excitng goings on, especially around 2 in the morning, when things start to get weird.

See you in a couple of days,

Your pal,

Chuck

Over 70 venues participating!

24-Hour Comics Day is this Saturday ….. the 4th of October.   And over 70 venues are participating …. from 16 different countries …. and 4 different continents.   It is truly an international event!

A few years ago, the 24-Hour Comics Day planning committee decided to set the event date as the first Saturday in October.    This was done to standardize the event and help people with their planning.  Unfortunately, sometimes this can cause conflicts.  This year, for example, 24-Hour Comics Day falls on Yom Kippur – one of the holiest days of the Jewish tradition.

If you can’t participate this Saturday, please realize that you can participate on another day ….. as long as it’s fairly close to the 4th.    Venues and online participants are always able to schedule different days …. other than the official day … and still be included.  For instance, Mission Comics in San Francisco decided to hold their event on Saturday, September the 27th.

All we ask is that you notify us when you are planning on holding the event so that we can publicize it and officially count you.
