Chicago Comics Symposium

For you Windy City comic mavens, next week is a big week! Not only is Zinefest happening,  but a two day geek-out dedicated to the artform we all love...

From the website:
 "The stubborn work ethic of Chicago’s comic scene will be explored in the first ever Chicago Comics Symposium, hosted by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) on March 11th and 12th 2010. Through panel discussions with over fifteen local comic makers, the Symposium will investigate the city’s influence on the comic making process, tackling the sad, serious, and silly topics that reign supreme in the realm of sequential art. All events are free and open to the public. "
