Eyeball Burp's Blue Mini-Van Tour (pt 2)

 

 After Sacto, we hit the road to Chico then Oregon.  These are our mascots, Almond and Javier.  I don't think you can really see Javier.  He's supposed to be a tiny cute Youtube character.  Yes, they have one of those in Japan.

  

 This is the inside of our Blue Mini-Van.  For most of the trip, it was our home.  We cleared out the middle seats and threw in a mattress and comforter.  Hard to fit with all the merch we brought for the convention.

  

 This was our first attempt at "outdoor urban cooking."  We pulled to the side of a Win-Co, busted out a portable stove, and made some noodle soup.

  

 Here's a picture of the action.

  

 We also stopped in the city of Weed because we thought it was funny.  We took a bunch of pictures of street signs that said weed because we are immature and giggle at things like that.  We liked the Weed Bakery; they had a shirt that said "the city, not the ingredient."

  

  On the road, we saw a full rainbow.  I've never seen anything like it in my life.  I don't think the photo does it justice.  I swear we drove right to the end of it.  Once we got there, it disappeared.

The Blue Mini-Van Tour began in Sacramento as we prepared for Indy Euphoria, the Indie arts and culture convention.

  

 this is Anthony Leano making last minute phone calls for the convention.  Scary zombie man in back and Ann workin on merch.

  

 This was Eyeball Burp's first tabling event.  Ann and I were invited as special guests.

In my last Indy Euphoria post, I forgot to mention a few people.  I know I am still missing a bunch, but here are some more guys I am friends with...

  

 This is John Thompson.  He makes a comics called Cartworks about his job as a shopping cart attendant.

  

This is Jesse Baggs, one of the nicest cartoonists out there.  He does mini-zines about youth culture.

  

Jason Martin does a zine called Black Tea which I really enjoyed.  He also does Laterborn which I have yet to read.

  

 This is Skinner and Kat.  Kat came all the way from LA to check out the Indy Euphoria show.  How amazing!

  

 We had the honor of staying at Skinner's house for two nights.  This is him making potatoes.  Isn't his house awesome?

  

 Skinner and Kristie are a really nice couple and a hell of a lot of fun to hang out with.

  

 I got me a picture with Skinner!  whooo!!!

Last weekend, Eyeball Burp attended the Indy Euphoria convention in Sacramento.  We were honored to be a part of the festivities.  The art was amazing; some of the freshest crafters, zinesters, comics creators, publishing companies, and artists I've seen in a while.  Much love!
