BarCampAlbuquerque 3

BarCampAlbuquerque 3 | Saturday, September 13-Sunday, September 14 | 9:00-6:00 | Chef Jim White's event center | Albuquerque, NM



The third BarCampAlbuquerque — an event focusing on Design (visual, experience, information architecture), Technology (infrastructure, programming), Social and New Media, and other stuff that is just plain cool — will be held September 12-13 at Chef Jim White's event center at 4801 Alameda Blvd NE.

BarCampAlbuquerque is a "user-generated conference" (learn more about the BarCamp format here) that relies on attendees to decide on and present content. Though the conference has a Web focus, presentations on most any creative topic are welcome; this event will also feature a roundtable discussion on finding opportunities for productive collaboration between communities (creative communities, technical, non-profit, etc.) for their mutual benefit.

Horror Art Contest

Horror Comic Art Contest On Stephen King Eve | Tuesday, September 9 | 6:00 | True Believers Comics and Gallery | Santa Fe, NM

To tie in with Marvel Comics' midnight release of Stephen King's Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born #1 on September 9-10, True Believers Comics and Gallery announces an open call for horror-themed comic art to be judged just before the Stephen King Midnight Release.

All ages are welcome to participate, and the judging will be between 9:00 – 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 9, 2008 at True Believers Comics & Gallery at 801-B Cerrillos Road, next to Whole Foods Market in Santa Fe.

True Believers will open at 9:00 on September 9 to evaluate the art contest entries, and also to conduct a special “employee pricing” sale on all merchandise. Special pricing will apply to the new Stephen King books as well, but they cannot be sold until 12:01 a.m. that evening, which technically will be the morning of September 10.

Entries can be submitted anytime during store hours up to 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 9, 2008. Please call 505-992-TRUE for more info.
