Bluestockings Workshop... and new THEME!

We'd like to thank everyone who attended the Not Your Mothers Meatloaf comic workshop at Bluestockings last Friday.
The event was a great success! We had about 20 participants and got some wonderful feedback as well as new ideas for how to make the comic even better in the future.
Participants were also able to start their own comics (assisted by our fabulous customized NYMM pink pencils) and brainstorm with us to decide a theme for the next issue.
Each theme that was suggested was wonderful, and we had a hard time deciding which to do next.
But, after some deliberation, the new theme is.....drumroll...

BODIES
We'd like you to interpret the bodies theme any way you'd like, while remembering that our primary focus is educating youth and each other about important issues surrounding sexuality, safer sex, consent, etc.

Our deadline is March 31st as of now. We know it sounds soon but we'd like to have the third issue out sometime in the late Spring of 2010.
So get to drawin!

Event at Bluestockings

We have been invited to host an event at Bluestockings! Bluestockings is a bookstore, fair trade cafe, and activist center in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Our event is scheduled for Friday, February 19th at 7pm. Bluestockings is located at 172 Allen st.
Bluestockings website

At the event we will talk about the origins of Not Your Mother's Meatloaf and how the project continues to develop. Past contributors will share their experiences being involved with NYMM. Also, at this event, we will be deciding the theme for the next issue. We ask everyone to participate in deciding the third issue's topic, so start brainstorming now! At the end of the event we hope to have time for audience members to begin comics of their own.
Hopefully Bluestockings will have both issues of NYMM available for purchase at the time of the event. Of course, you can also download the comics for free on our blog. Look for the link on the right.

Hope to see you there!
