Magazine Conference

Ever since my interview with Andris Taskans of Prairie Fire, I've been receiving notices of cool literary and arts events around the city and province and even across Canada. It's been exciting to find out about new opportunities, especially some that I will test out and participate in. In March, for example, there's the Magazines Mean Business conference put on by the Manitoba Magazine Publishers Association. Since I have my little zine and was pointed in the direction of publishing as the way to go, this sparked quite a bit of interest. Coupled with the student rate? I was hooked. So March 16th and 17th I will be a busy critcher, learning and nerding and networking and such. How curious it will be.

Related to magazines: I found out this evening that I will have some artwork in the next issue of Kiss Machine. Very exciting, as the writers in KM seem to be a rather tight-knit group. Sort of exclusive, even. But who doesn't like penis artwork? (You will have to check out the issue to find out what I mean.)
