Yeah, you didn't hear? CAKE is FREE and open to the public, and the space is wheelchair accessible! We're gonna have nearly two hundred guests & exhibitors from all over Chicago, the U.S., and abroad! It's the first alternative comics fest in Chicago in over 15 years! We've got a full slate of really great programming, tons of debuts, not to mention a wicked awesome poster drawn by Chicago's favorite comics artist, Laura Park!

You put this together all by yourself?

NEIL:
No way, man. I'm just a part of a large group of people putting this together. The other organizers are Ignatz Award winner Edie Fake, Ignatz Award nominee, Jeff Zwirek, Line Work co-editor, Max Morris and zinester extraordinaire, Grace Tran! We also have an advisory committee made up of members of Chicago's alternative comics community. And we've gotten a lot of support from Quimby's Bookstore, Columbia College Chicago, the Art Institute of Chicago, Mortville, the Hideout, Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar, and a bunch of folks who have donated to our IndieGoGo campaign.
