We’ve received unfortunate word From David Reddick that due to some personal circumstances he won’t be able to make it to Intervention this year. At the same time though, we just got word from Tony DiGerolamo that he will be able to attend Intervention. Tony has written for The Simpsons, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, as well as being the creator for the webcomic Super Frat.

Molly Crabapple will be doing a signing on Saturday directly after “Act Locally, Promote Globally: A Conversation With Molly Crabapple” 12-1. Her signing table will be located directly outside of the Guests/Artists/Vendors room.

Don’t forget, we are giving away free passes to SPX. They will be randomly distributed when you pick up your Pre Reg or Reg.

Even though the pre reg rate is over, you can still register online and buy merch before the con to make your pick up process faster.

To help support a wider range of mobile devices we’ve added a new “mobile” programming page to the site. It’s a simple table with the programming schedule and some event location images.

UPDATED: App was approved on the 8th.

On another note, Apple has not been cooperating with us and we may not get the updated iPhone/iPod/iPad app into the iTunes store before the event. The current version of the app has a large amount of data in it, but we hoped to get the schedule and other elements into it before the con. Oh well, some times the update review process goes quickly, sometimes it takes longer than the original approval…

Anyway, if you have the app now, definitely keep checking the app store though, we may get a last second approval. If you haven’t already downloaded it though, you can get it here in the iTunes store.

Chris Impink of Sledgebunny will be hand painting T Shirts at the con.

This is one of four shirts that will be available at the con. Chris is hand-painting the shirts, so no two will be identical. There will be two shirts pre-done and Chris will paint the other two while at the table.

William ‘Shaggy’ Chrapcynski of BSOD will have an Intervention only CD of original music available!

I’m creating a special edition of The System Is Down for Intervention. Besides having special artwork (see the image on the left) but I’m planning on filling it with as much a stuff as I can. It will have the standard content plus a bunch of unreleased music and maybe other digital content. Also, for anyone who buys one of these CDs at the convention, you’ll get a free glow stick bracelet for the dance/rave! I’m only planning on making a small quantity of these special edition CDs. So, make sure you find me on Friday to buy them!

What is a dance party without people to start the dance floor? War at Innsmouth and War at Innsmouth: Reloaded will be happening on Friday and Saturday in Club 242 from 10PM until the last person passes out from awesome and win. DJ Subvert from Contempt and Labyrinth NYC will be spinning goth, industrial, geek, and anything you request. Yes, even the weird things!

We don’t believe in elitism, so of course there is no dress code. Everyone is welcome!

The Cosplay Burlesque crew will be our official gogo dancers. Of course there will be no nudity – just plain fun dancing until the early hours of the morning! If you would also like to gogo for one of the dances, contact us and let us know when you would like to do it. People of all genders are welcome – we also believe in equality!

Intervention and SPX are happy to announce a joint promotion to our respective attendees. Intervention and SPX will each be providing 25 free full event passes to our attendees to visit the other event. Since Intervention and SPX are in the same area this weekend, and both provide a huge amount of information on the modern independent comics scene, this will give 25 lucky people the opportunity to “get the whole story” for the price of admission to only one of the events.

Intervention will be giving out their 25 SPX full weekend passes at random to Pre-Registered Full Weekend Intervention registration holders, or to full weekend at-door registration purchasers.

We encourage everyone who loves independent comics to attend both shows–this is a unique opportunity to see and talk to an overwhelming number of comic artists in one area, at one time.
