From Jason at Floating World Comics (who is a contributor here but mailed this one in to me):farel and kaz, floating wold comics, first thursday, portland, oregon

Join us this 1st Thursday, Nov. 1st for a special Day of the Dead art celebration with local artist Farel Dalrymple and Seattle artist Kazimir Strzepek. Farel made a big splash in the indy comics scene with his debut 'Pop Gun War' and his acclaimed 'Meathaus' anthologies. Last month he made his Marvel comics debut with 'Omega the Unknown' written by novelist Jonthan Lethem. Kazimir is a relative newcomer to the indy comics world, but his debut “The Mourning Star” won an Ignatz award for Outstanding Series! Read the rest of this entry »

PDX BONES: Part Deuce, November 7th (first wednesday) at Jace Gace

There is an evite. I don't know how to link to it. You don't have to RSVP, but can if you want. Just go to evite and search PDX Bones and you'll find it. Wait, just tried and I am wrong. Well, if you aren't on that 300+ invite list, then here is your invite and info from the invite:
PDX-BONES, Jace Gace, Portland, Oregon Domino/Dominoes Club, 97214

November 7
Jace Gace
SE 21st and Belmont
Portland, Oregon 97214

This is the second in PDX PIPELINE's (pdxpipeline.com) series of Domino Clubs/Socials. They occur on the first Wednesday of every month. Many cities and peoples around the world regularly play in domino clubs and tournaments. This is the only known one in Portland.

We will have people playing all 5s, Mexican Train, and Texas 42. We have many sets of dominoes, but you can bring your own–hopefully not marked :)

The event is FREE. We give away prizes based on no certain criteria except randomness.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PLAY, we will show.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY, there will still be art, music, beer, waffles, and video happening…and just socializing

At the last event, we taught several people. At this one, there will be many people who can teach and play. It is a club, not a tournament.

Jace Gace will also be projecting various film clips, domino scores (I've lost a couple times), music videos, and possibly myself playing the Dominologist–beat him once.  :)
