I have comics in two anthologies that are debuting at APE (Alternative Press Expo) this weekend in San Francisco. If you happen to be going be sure to check out Sidewalk Bump #2 a collection of skateboarding comics edited by Dan Moynihan. It will be available at the Turk Street Projects booth (#205). And don't miss out on the 368-page full color anthology Young Bottoms In Love from Tim Fish and his Poison Press (booths #341-344). It's a collection of stories from serious to silly—soap to sci-fi. Think romance comics circa 1950 (with such titles as CAREER GIRL ROMANCES and SECRETS OF YOUNG BRIDES) with a modern gay sensibility.

My band Spoilsport is honored to be a part of the Cream of The Pop festival at the end of April. We'll be playing Saturday, April 28 at Great Scott in Allston with a bunch of great bands including Mittens, My Teenage Stride, Hands & Knees, The Specific Heats, Ryan Walsh (Hallelujah the Hills).

There's a new edition of Monkey School up now too. This one's all about songs sung in other languages besides English. Be sure to check it out and let us know what you think.
