Those three of you reading now that couldn’t get it before — it was due to an actual threat of fire. Awesome. But we’re back online after the timely action of those that supply our parent corporation with bandwidth.

• Hey remember the North Carolina Web Comics Coffee Clatch on the radio thing? The podcast is up, if you missed it earlier.
• Speaking of No’th Ca’olina, Heroes Con will be there in about a month; check out Indie Island for the webcomickin’ contingent, ranging from vets like Malki !, Corsetto, and Kurtz, through to newcomers like Chris Flick. There’s actually quite a list over at the HCII page, so peruse away.
• Speaking of cons, there will be a new one next Tuesday — to celebrate the 500th strip of The Ego and The Squid (and really, aren’t all things better with squid?), creator Chris Andersen is throwing Ego And The Squid-Con 2008. All are welcome to convene in Daddy’s bar in Brooklyn after work (nearest subway: Graham Ave on the L).
• Finally, Mike Russell (the guy is a story-tip machine) wants you to know he’s interviewed Brandon Bolt of Nobody Scores! in The Oregonian. It’s a fun read.
