FCBD 2013: Post-Show

Gregg — Tue, 07 May 2013 19:30:00 +0000

This past weekend was Free Comic Book Day, and for the third year in a row I was part of the celebration at Acme Comics in Greensboro, NC, which is really turning into, as my pal Brian Smith put it, the comics and geek culture version of what Austin is to music. It’s very cool. [...]

“Damaged” Site; Changes Coming

Gregg — Thu, 02 May 2013 19:06:58 +0000

You may notice that the news/blog page for hatterentertainment.com is looking…off, awry, funky, poorly designed, damaged if you will. That’s the result of some stuff that was out of my control and am in the process of rectifying. I’m also using that as a sort of kick-in-the-pants to refresh the entirety of hatterentertainment.com, so theoretically, [...]

2012 Holiday Card

Gregg — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 04:04:29 +0000

It’s that time of year again, wherein I take a decidedly different approach to the holiday card, ignoring all established rules and norms with respect to proper holiday sentiment. This year’s card is up and you can see it here (with links and such to all prior cards going back to 2002). Enjoy!

Dr. Kitchenstein Presents: All-Hallow’s Giving 2012 – “Oy Vey, Thanksgiving as Jewish Food”

Gregg — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 02:39:25 +0000

As explained in a previous post, in 2002 I created a holiday, All-Hallows’ Giving. You can read all about it here, and a recap of the 2010 iteration here (2011 marked the 10th Anniversary of AHG and was marked by a “blind pot luck”, so it was less a “Dr. Kitchenstein” type event, though I [...]

CONVENTION TIME!: Comic-Con International 2012

Gregg — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 05:00:46 +0000

It’s July, which means San Diego Comic-Con International! Madness, crowds, noise, people, comics, movies, tv shows, video games…it’s a beast of a show and a part of me wonders, every year, “why do I do this, exactly?”. But I will do as (my 7th, 8th, 10th and 12th grade social studies teacher) Mr. Lutness would [...]

Summer 2012 Update: “Stuff Said”, SpongeBob, Spider-Man and MORE!

Gregg — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 04:06:33 +0000

Here’s what’s new and/or exciting: “Stuff Said”, my podcast, has been going for one year as of today. A year ago today the first episode, part one of my talk with Chris Giarrusso, took the podcast world by storm. One year later we’re still plugging along. Check it out here. The SPONGEBOB COMICS train continues [...]

Free Comic Book Day in Comic Book City, USA

Gregg — Wed, 02 May 2012 21:15:01 +0000

The first Saturday in May each year is Free Comic Book Day, and this year I’ll be spending FCBD this year (May 5, 2012) in Comic Book City, USA (aka Greensboro, NC) at Acme Comics. The gang at Acme Comics do not mess around when it comes to FCBD as they’re hosting a bevy of talented [...]

Anatomy of a Convention Sketch: Spider-Man v. Batman

Gregg — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:26:28 +0000

This past weekend at the Emerald City Comic-Con I had a bit of foresight and did what I could to document a sketch-in-progress. Admittedly, this started more as a bit of show-off-ery after a conversation with Jason Howard the night prior, wherein we discussed the challenges of taking a tiny doodle full of energy and [...]

Convention Time! – EMERALD CITY COMICON 2012

Gregg — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:37:40 +0000

Hey everybody…I’d say convention season was upon us, but at this point conventions run all year long and never seem to stop. But since I don’t go to them all I’m merely gonna talk about the ones I DO attend. In this case, I’ll be at the Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, Washington, this weekend, [...]

2011 Holiday Card

Gregg — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 21:51:10 +0000

It’s that time of year where holiday cards fill mailboxes…children and pets posed amidst snow or trees or other holiday ephemera. It’s also when I take a decidedly different approach to the “holiday spirit”. This year’s card is up and you can see it here.
