More Guests at the Expo!

Hey, you got your dayplanner set for this weekend, right? The fifth annual Lubbock Comic Book Expo is happening this weekend, Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. It’s going to be part of the 34th annual Lubbock Arts Festival, and it’ll be in the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center at 1501 Mac Davis Lane in Lubbock. There’s a small charge to enter the Arts Festival proper, but if all you wanna do is go to the Expo, it’s dead solid free.

Of course, you want to be there for the costume contest at 1 p.m. on Saturday, as well as all the other panels and activities, but there are also going to be a lot more special guests. We talked a bit about the guests a while back, but even more have been announced, including Koi Turnbull, Rita Moore, Sarah Arnold, George Zepeda, Rob Weiner, Mary Andrews and Joe Douglas Trent, an indie rock band called In the ‘Verse, Josh Lees, Jose Esquivel, Zip Alegria, Bryan Burk, Chas Foreman, and Jason Shasteen.

And that doesn’t even include all the friendly artists and vendors — and the fans — who’ll be hanging out upstairs in the Civic Center to chat, make some art, and sell some great stuff.

Remember, it’s this weekend! Saturday and Sunday! Don’t miss out, durngum it.
