Stumptown Comics Fest is amazing, would love to win tickets! Me and my husband are super nerds and need to go! :)
I’m all in. Would love to take my gf. She’d go if she really loved me. Instead- she’ll need freebies.
I love comic books
My wife and I read comics to one another in bed. Its like foreplay…
i’m thinking my boss would love this.
Nerds and Geeks Galore! My kinda place to spend time and help keep Portland Weird!
I would love to attend Stumptown Comics Fest this year because I have gone every year since I’ve moved to Portland in 2009, but this year might be the first year i’m unable to go due to lack of funds.
i’d like to bring my new-to-portland/new-to-webcomics boyfriend to see what a vibrant and diverse comics community we have here!
A comics fest that doesn’t require driving to Seattle? Sign me up, please!
I’d like to attend with my children to help foster their budding romance with comics; to encourage them to draw and create stories with pictures.
I go to Stumptown each year to (in addition to seeing discussions) drop $100 in the dealer’s room on new indie comics.
I want to attend so I can support the hard work of indie comics artists, especially KINOKO who will be selling her thesis project issue 1 of her retelling of The Epic of Gilgamesh. PNCA ARTISTS REPRESENT <3
Stumptown is the best comic show in town and the Stumptown crew is awesome for giving away tickets!!!
I’m already making a fine place for those tickets to rest – in my pocket. I’ve never gone to Stumptown before and it’s about damn that changed. My girlfriend’s never been before either and I’m sure she’d love nothing more than to hang out all weekend geeking over gorgeous Allred prints.
I took my son last year and we had so much fun. He’s been saving his allowance up so he can buy more stuff this year!
I’d LOVE to win tickets to the Fest!It gets bigger and better each year!
The last couple of years I’ve had to work on the weekends that Stumptown fell on. I’ve always wanted to go and this year I finally have the opportunity, which is exciting in and of itself. I hope it’ll be as fun as everyone as said.
I would love to attend Stumptown this year, as I have in the past, but money is too tight right now. So I’d really love it if I won a pair of passes.
Stumptown is my kind of comics fest: no stormtroopers or Playstation reps, tons of local folks/companies, and scads of new-to-me artists and works to blow my mind. My family and I look forward to it all year.
I would like to check out STCF because I’ve never been to a comicon before and it looks rad.
I want to attend because this is the only festival of it’s kind in the state. They always have a great selection of guests, panels, and workshops. And by winning passes, it gives me that much more money to spend at the show.
The new la brujeriais debuting. Need I say more?
I would like to attend. I’m broke as a joke. So a Broke walks into a bar…
My geek cred needs to level up!
I’d like a free pass!
tickets please?
Yes, please. Going in any case, but a free pass means more moolah to spend on comics and stuff…
The idea of going to this comic festival makes me so happy! I’ve only just gotten into comics the last few years, but I love them forever !!!
I haven’t been to Stumptown for years. My best friend is in town from the other side of the country, and it would be so much fun to go with her.
I wanna go
I would love these tickets because my boyfriend moved here in January from Philadelphia and still isn’t convinced that Portland is the shit. He is a HUGE comics lover and going to the comicfest would definitely help win him over that he needs to stay in Portland with me :)
my husband is the biggest comic book fan and I’m learning to love them since we just moved to Portland- the comic book lovers dream city :)
Hoping I win. Comics!
You can help a poor girl and her hapless father escape the two-dimensional world of library, park, coffee shop, into which they drift every weekend. A three-dimensional passage through the Convention Center altered by otherworldly things would be just the ticket(s).
Been reading comics all my life and a huge supporter of stumptown, cheers!
I like comics….
The husband would love this. The festival is actually on his weekend plans, but winning tickets would be gravy for him.
Please add a lady to this convention! (I will do)
I am new to portland, and have wanted to attend stumptown comics fest for the last 4 years, due to lack of funds and illness and this and that, i’ve never had the chance. I’d love to go this year!
This would be my 1st time to attend SCF & I would really like to go!!!
Nothing like an evening of laugh and conviviality to make the weekend perfect. Would love to win tickets!
Because, it wouldn’t be as cool if I wasn’t their :)
My life is a comix.
Would love to win!
Oh. My. Gosh. My best friend would love to go to this! It looks like so much fun! Stuptown comics represent :)
I would love to love to love to go to here.
Have a friend coming into town for the fest. Would love to win this.
Really want to attend this event!
My daughter will live this!
I love the selection of workshops and vendors! And actually getting to meet the creators and artists face to face!
Oh, dear… We just moved to Portland and my hubby is DYING to find his niche in the comic community.. He would love to attend this event!
I want to go for this simple reason: E. K. Weaver.
Aweeeeeesssssoooommmmmmemeeeeeeee!
I can’t wait.
Just want to hang out, learn and bag cool comics.
I love comics and I want to support local artists and make my boyfriend do so as well!
I’d love to win passes for me and my partner in crime. The fact that Portland is a town made for comic artists is just one of the reasons we fell in love w/Portland and why we moved here as soon as we could.
I go to this event every year, and it would really be rad to be able to go both days!
I love comics! This would be awesome!
I’ve never been able to go to this. Sounds like it would be amazing!
a lady friend and i are already going to omsi for the lego exhibit on sunday. why not add another dorkfest to our awesome date day?
thanks for the chance!
i finally have a weekend off and i am filling it with everything…including this
I’ve never been to a comic festival and I think it would be amazing to go to this one.
ME ME ME ME ME ME. I want please.
Yes, I’m a nerd. Long live Y: The Last Man!
