I am your host, Frankie The Wop. In an effort to promote more crossover blog warfare, I have asked <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inkstuds.org\/?p=3196\">Mr. Robin McConnell<\/a> over at the beloved <em>Inkstuds <\/em>to host the audio portion this week\u2019s program. <\/p>\n<p>I spoke to <a href=\"http:\/\/kevinh.blogspot.com\/\">Mr. Kevin Huizenga <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/jimrugg.blogspot.com\/\">Mr. Jim Rugg <\/a>at the <a href=\"http:\/\/homepage.mac.com\/bem\/PIX\/index.html\">Pittsburgh Independent Comics Expo (<\/a>PIX) back in October of this year. Organized by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.copaceticcomics.com\/\">Copacetic Comics<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toonseum.org\/\">Toonseum<\/a> of Pittsburgh, PA, this event may be the beginning of something special. Very laid back, very beautiful location and all the indy comics you could hope for in western PA, it was a successful show. I think it may pan out to be an important show for midwesterners as there aren\u2019t too many indy shows for regional creators. (Pittsburgh is basically halfway between Chicago and New York for those who can\u2019t imagine it on a map)<\/p>\n<p>I also spoke with many of the exhibitors and attendees at PIX. I will be posting those interviews hopefully in the coming weeks. Truth is, I\u2019ve had some difficulty with the audio files and am trying desperately to preserve them. So, if I did interview you or your friends at the show, please forgive the delay in making them available. Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Click on the link below and head on over to Inkstuds. Make sure to open another tab while listening to the audio and check out Robin\u2019s tour diary where he visits Al Columbia, Steve Bissette and others. Sounds like a fun trip (I\u2019m jealous!).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.inkstuds.org\/?p=3293\">Kevin Huizenga and Jim Rugg in conversation.
