Things are ramping up in anticipation with fliers and PSA's put out, posters put up and articles getting written up in the local newspaper.
A dozen definite commitments, couple dozen more maybes and many more last-minute random folks will be in attendance so far.

Six folks successfully completed their 24 pages: out of 17 that started (including the 11 who stuck through all the way to the bleary end!).
Lots of visitors + support crew, and many thanks again to The Comic Shop in Fairbanks, Alaska for hosting another awesome event!
Here's a recap of the Fairbanks event + pictures over on the Ink & Snow blog:
