Arizona Browncoats Charity Art Faire [Tucson]

- Help out by picking up some art from local browncoats.
- At the Espresso Art Cafe on University from 10am to 4pm.

- Hurray Science Fiction! One of my favorite parent-genres.
- If you feel the same way, swing by Gotham City Comics in Mesa between noon and nine.
- Movies, trivia, costumes, and more. Should be a fun little shin-dig.
- Check the details, yo.
- A steampunk-gaming-mystery-theater experience? Balderdash!
- Dress up all top-hat-and-goggled if you want, but don’t feel like you have to.
- At the Old Spaghetti Factory in Downtown Phoenix from 4pm to 10pm.
- Get tickets and details at Con-Fabulation’s site.

- Seriously, if you’re interested at all in the local comics scene, you should attend Jesse James’ comics parties.
- Tons of local artists show up and network and have a good time.
- At Jesse James Comics from 6pm to whenev’.

And be sure to swing by Press The Pause Button for a more in depth look at the local gaming events going on.
Have fun, cephalobots, and don’t forget to leave a caption on yesterday’s post if you haven’t already.
I’ve got two Bookmans Giftcards that aren’t going to give themselves away.
