update shmupdate

things i'm doing:

1. writing an article on jewish comic creators for the jewish chronicle. don't know what angle i'm going to take yet. probably a jewish angle.

2. building a bike out of spare parts. kind of a frankenstein's monster right now. photos below.

3. lighting a show for the fringe festival. standard plot will be hung. i'll have to cue and run the board. may also need to hang a special or two. apparently i'll also have to run the sound board. no stage manager, which is bothersome.

4. volunteering at oblong, a non-profit internet cafe.

5. looking for a job. sadly none of the above things pay.

A Jewish angle, eh? That makes sense.

Do you plan to reference such writers as Arie Kaplan, Gerard Jones or Rabbi Simcha Weinstein. They're probably the 3 best known writers on this topic.

Danny Fingeroth would be a 4th, but his book Disguised as Clark Kent hasn't been published yet.

Any chance you'll tell people about my Jewish comics blog?

If you're in New York on Feb. 25th, you can attend a panel at the New York Comic Con called "the Jewish Side of Comics" with Neil Kleid, Rabbi Simcha Weinstein, Danny Fingeroth, Stan Mack, and Josef Rubinstein.

Or, if you're in London (UK) that day, you can see Paul Gravett interview Joann Sfar and JT Waldman during Jewish Book Week.
