via organizer Sean Craig:

Wanna witness the first ever attempt at comics stenography?

Moved by the old American fable that recounts Francis Scott Key's inspiration to write the Star Spangled banner as he watched the bombardment of Baltimore's Fort McHenry during the War of 1812, I've decided to drag a ragtag team of Toronto's best comics artists to Fort York and have them document the city's most famous literary salon and lecture series, Trampoline Hall, with their artistic medium. You'll get to see lectures by non-experts. You'll see hipster girls, who tend to be very cute. You'll drink beer.

All this will take place at Fort York's Blue Barracks next Monday, October 22nd at 8pm sharp (show early, no latecomers admitted!).

Tickets are five bucks and sell out in a heartbeat. Trampoline Hall always sells out. If you'd like to be on the guest list for the show, let me know and I'll reserve a spot or two for you.

The show has been covered by everyone from the New Yorker to the Globe and Mail to the Toronto Star. This is a great opportunity for the city's comics community to make inroads with the city's literary and visual arts scenes, both of which are heavily involved in Trampoline Hall.
