Hi! Austin's Independent Media Expo - called Staple! - is coming to town March 6. It's a one-day convention that showcases any independent media. There are a bunch of webcomickers out there as well as freelance artists, people with Etsy shops, etc. A fun little group, to be sure. Anyway, all the tables are sold out, but tickets to get in are only $5. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out.
I'll be wandering around with some friends (alas, I didn't get to the table in time). Uncle Staple, the brains behind the operation, is an awesome person and webcomic connoisseur.
