There was much online soul-searching after the last Auckland Comics Meeting failed to eventuate, and eventually two major points were generally agreed to be applicable to all situations where humans gather in cafés. First, a time should be allotted so that each may know when the allotted time is. Second, the allotted time should be during a period in which it is known that the café will be open.
This month, both conditions were fulfilled simultaneously, and lo, people turned up at the allotted time. I think it helped that I wore my Spider-man hat to make ti easy to see which table to sit at, but then I always think it helps when I wear my Spider-man hat.
We had a fine time talking about comics, which is almost as good as drawing comics while you talk about them, but more of an Auckland Thing.
The Alleluya Café is, by the way, a very fine one with a magnificent big window looking out over Myers Park.
