Hey glad to see some other Calgarians here other than Interceptor and myself. Its pretty much as he said. Its every Wednesday at http://www.belfrygastrohouse.com/ (address, http://www.belfrygastrohouse.com/contact.html)

Feel Free to shoot me and e-mail as well if you would like to know more.
We have a Blog where we post a fair bit of work and see who most of us regular are. We tend to do silly pass around comics at some point during the night while we sketch on other stuff.

No pressure to do any kind of amazing work. Its a social group made up of Several Animators, Indie and professional comic artist and other who do it casually in there free time. We even have a couple writers that stop by and draw stick men and just chit chat. Its a well priced pub with great food. So There isnt even a requirement to have Booze.
- This goes to anyone who is in the Calgary Area. It would be awesome to have visitors from else where stop by. Quite often is one of the many highlights of my Week.

Oh, most excellent! I live in the NW as well, but looks easy enough to get to. Not sure I'll make it for tomorrow, but great.

I'm afraid I'm only on MSN maybe once a month currently though Interceptor, but I'll definitely drop you a line Daniel.

And good to know on the pressure, I only really started focusing on this about a year ago and had barely a doodle to my name before that. But, I've been looking to hang out with artistic types for a while and heard not even a whisper. Looking forward to meeting you all =)
