(No RH) I know a few listers have been to SDCC in the past. Anyone planning on attending this year? I'm heading out West tomorrow for the big show, then off to LA the next week for my annual computer graphics geekfest, Siggraph. http://sketchbot.blogspot.com/2010/07/sketchbot-at-sdcc-2010.html If you're in San Diego for the convention, come by the Dragatomi Booth (#3848) Thursday or Saturday morning at 11am, I'll be signing Sketchbots and drawing in sketchbooks. Also swing by my distributor's booth, DKE Toys (#4732) to see the unveiling of Sketchbot variants 2 and 3! You can also live vicariously through my blog posts starting later this week! :) - -Steve http://sketchbot.tv Steve Talkowski | Animation Director, Character Design & Toy Creator Blog: Sketchbot | Contact: stevetalkowski@mac.com | Twitter: stevetalkowski ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:51:29 -0700 (PDT) From: Jeff Margrave Subject: Reap Andy Hummel -- Bass & Vocals, Big Star http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2010/jul/19/former-big-star-bassist-andy-hummel/ So, that Hummel and Chilton 4 months apart, and both less than a year after Jim Dickinson.
