I had an ok SPX. I was able spend some time with my friend Harris and see some interesting stuff in the process. That said I bought four things – one of which was a complete bust. However I’m pleased to report that I bought the Johnny Miller (see previous post) and it surpasses my greatest expectations. However the show is really just a comic book show for people who no longer read “spandex comics” (or prefer to read “spandex comics” parodies)I would love to see more small book (ie, not comics) presses and folks really doing something a bit different. That said, I’m holding out hope for Printed Matter’s event next month in New York. More than likely, I’ll take next year off from SPX and try it in a couple years.
One word of advice – dont bother reading “Slaves of Christo” – what a waste.
