Picking this up at the beguiling sometime this week.

Hopefully it didn't get tossed down there with all the other independent stuff. I mean, it should be properly displayed.

Thanks! I appreciate the support.
Chris has been a good supported of Same Hat projects (Tokyo Zombie, now Electric Ant) so I assume it won't be thrown on the floor :)

They are en route to Toronto right now, so definitely shoot for the end of the week (or call first!)

I want somewhere in NYC to carry this so I can buy it on my trip there when I am spending money that I don't have :D

Ryan S said...

@anonymous: I wish too :) I'm talking to Desert Island and Rocketship and hopefully they'll want to carry copies too. Tell them you want copies there if you happen to know those stores!

Awesome, can't wait to head down to Pony Club and pick up a copy :}

Ryan S said...

@TOMATO: thanks! a handful of copies are en route now, give them a call after thanksgiving and check it out.
MUCH APPRECIATED!

That's great news! I mean, you guys shipped out my Electric Ant #1 pretty much the SAME DAY I ordered if I remember correctly, but there's something exciting about being able to just walk into a store and buy it. :)

So when the time for issue #2 rolls around, I'll get to pick it up at the Beguiling, yay.

new york>>???

Ryan S said...

@nana: Thanks, dude! I'm glad that yours arrived safely; Generally, I've been able to get orders out within 36 hours :)

@alexmercado: Good point! I've been in touch with both rocketship and desert island, but no traction yet. Any other recommendations for places that carry zines/indie comics?

Cool, I can pick it up at Quimby's! I read this right before I left town for Thanksgiving, I've been trying to convince my roommate to pick up an issue this weekend.

@Connie: Thanks! Have fun in Chicago-- I was born there, and grew up in the midwest too! I'm sure you are freezing your ass off this holiday :)

@alex: Sorry I forgot to comment back! Thanks for the leads :) I have been to Jim Hanley's once.. i think that's where i got my copy of Bete Noire way back when...

I'll call them & Midtown tomorrow and see what's what. I think I can get rocketship lined up soon, i just need to talk to the owner again, maybe.

I'll talk to upper playground here-- I think if GRNY was going to get a copy they'd have bought them already... GR2 and GRSF have copies-- here's hoping EA#1 gets a mention in the next issue!

peace!
