BCR 5th Anniversary Party tonight, Hellbound II tomorrow night!

Join us tonight at 7:30pm at the Democracy Center (map) in Harvard Square for our weekly meeting in the Nelson Mandela Room. We’ll be celebrating 5 years of the Boston Comics Roundtable! Come have cake and see what cartoonists are like when they’re happy! Happy 5th Birthday, BCR!!!

The party will then move over to John Harvard’s in Harvard Sq. at 8:15pm. Join us there for further carousing!

Tomorrow night, Friday, October 28th @ 7:00pm, we’ll all get some rest by partying some more at the Hellbound II Release Party at Tommy Doyle’s in Harvard Square. Wear a costume and click here so you have all the details!

So how did Roho put together Hellbound II anyway? See part of the answer in this blog post about the screenprinting session that BCR member Joel Gill led at the New Hampshire Institute of Art. Ever wanted to see elegance in motion via a man doing his craft? Behold Joel Gill with a squeegee.

See you tonight and tomorrow night, too!
