One night – two fun book release parties!
Stumptown Underground is having a release party for their “Science: Fact and Fiction” anthology, centralized around the themes of science and science fiction, this July 28th at Floating World Comics. The release party is FREE to attend, all ages, and you’ll be able to meet and greet with the issue’s contributors and purchase copies of “Science: Fact and Fiction” for just $5 and before all your friends!
In addition to being able to pick up the latest issue, you can meet-and-greet with many of the contributors and other wonderful creative people. We will have some experimental beverages from the mixologists of Stumptown Underground, both alcoholic and non, for you to enjoy. If you are feeling experimental yourself, show up in your best “Mad Scientist” costume to compete in the party’s “Mad Scientist” costume contest! We’ll have a vote and the top 3 costumes will receive a free copy of the new issue.
We are also proud to host the release of Hazel Newlevant’s xeric award winning mini-comic, Ci Vediamo. “Ci Vediamo” is an Italian goodbye. Literally, it means “We’ll see each other.” Ci Vediamo the mini-comic is a wordless story of love, loss and moving on. The comic uses overlapping vellum pages to tell the story.
