Come for the comic, stay for the cupcakes.
Friday, November 5th, 2010, you’re invited to 419 E. 18th Street in the Crossroads District (next to Grinders) to celebrate First Friday and the launch of a new comic book, Yellow. (“Just another post-zompocalyptic comedy adventure love story.”)
Come on down from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. to pick up a special, full-color, fully-awesome preview edition of the first issue, “Auld Lang Zombie.”
Unless you’re undead, you’ll also enjoy the live music (KC’s own The Straight Ups, hitting the stage at 7:30 and again at 9); libations (cash bar hosted by Grinders); and luxurious cupcakes (Takes the Cake mobile bakery).
There will also be posters, t-shirts, and even free temporary tattoos (just to show the world you still support Zombietowne). We'll even be giving away a movie poster signed by famed horror director Eli Roth, just because.
Best of all, get your picture taken with a real live dead girl. Members of the metro’s newest roller derby league, the Dead Girl Derby, will be hanging out all night.
Limited copies of the original 4-issue run of Yellow as written and drawn by writer Bobby Bierley will also be for sale for anyone into the whole “nostalgia” thing.
(*Guest appearances are subject to change.)
---------------
Yellow tells the story of Quinn Quigley, a lonely high school outcast who falls in love with the most beautiful zombie at Zombietowne, the world’s first zombie zoo. When Quinn takes it upon himself to “rescue” the living dead girl from a life behind bars…well, you’ll just have to read to find out.
Yellow features art by ‘Zeu’ Gouveia, colors by Giuseppe Pica, letters by Ed Brisson, and an amazing cover by Ralph Abou Raad. All based on script by Bobby Bierley.

****IMPORTANT UPDATE! LOCATION CHANGE****
The official release party for Yellow will no longer be at Scion LAB because of scheduling conflicts. But I'm very happy to say the venue has been very cordial and got us set up just around the corner at 419 E. 18th Street. (Thanks, Kris!)
It doesn't have a cool name, just an address, but it is right smack dab next to Grinders which could be a very good thing for the comic. (If you'll allow me to be candid for a moment: Woohoo!)
Also, the party is no longer locked into ending at the early hour of 10 p.m. I've extended the festivities to go until 11, or even midnight if things are really rockin'.
So bring your dancin' shoes, a healthy amount of spending cash, and head down to 419 E. 18th Street November 5th for CUPCAKES & BRAAAINS!

Don't believe me? Here's a tiny sample:
Still don't believe me? Come to the release party and find out for yourself. If you don't like it, I'll even buy you a cupcake. A cupcake, you say? That's right.
