Laptop robbery in Mission SF cafe

A San Francisco finance manager stopped in at a Mission District cafe and was tapping on his laptop as he enjoyed his coffee just before noon on a Thursday. Suddenly, he was under siege.

"I looked up, and I saw this guy leaning into me as if he was asking a question," he said. "I leaned forward, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone fiddling with the computer cord. I tried to stand up, and as I stepped back, he stabbed me in the chest."

APE 2006

It's been awhile since I attended the Alternative Press Expo (APE) -- so I was more than happy to roll out of bed and join my pals at one of the coolest, low-keyest events of the year for craft kids, zinesters and DIY comic book artist/writers alike.

I had fun going from booth to booth checking out monster felt toys from Creature Co-Op and bizarre sculptures by Lucien Shapiro and Unethical Productions.

And I got the cutest Wookiee keyring from the kids at Stumpytown.com!

It was also fun to see art from new folks like Jaime Zollars, John C. Worsley, and tattoo portrait artist Shawn Barber, as well as old pals like fareldal and Martin Wong from Giant Robot magazine!

There were plenty of DIY zines and comics to browse through, and of course it was even more fun thanks to my pals who could make an appearance on Sunday such as chefgrrl, gingerbourbon, whataboutprom, neutron_x, and simulacrum!

Oh and here's a photo of me looking all wannabe hipster that whataboutprom took.
