Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery Celebrates First Anniversary on Saturday, December 8 with Debut Performance of the Tom Price Desert Classic
Following a phenomenally successful first year, it's party time at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery in Georgetown. On Saturday, December 8 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM Fantagraphics commemorates this auspicious occasion with music, author appearances, a continuing display of Peanuts strips by Charles M. Schulz, and a one-day storewide sale. The festivities coincide with the colorful Georgetown Annual Holiday Artwalk.
Illustrious Fantagraphics cartoonists Jim Woodring, Ellen Forney and Jim Blanchard will preside over the party, which also marks the debut performance of The Tom Price Desert Classic. This group features prominent local musicians with past and present associations with the publisher. Fantagraphics alumnus Tom Price, former guitarist of the legendary U-Men, Monkeywrench, and Gas Huffer, is joined by current employee Martin Bland (Lubricated Goat, Bloodloss, Monkeywrench), ex-Huffers Matt Wright and Don Blackstone, and Joe Kilbourne (the Derelicts). Expect an extraordinary set of rootsy garage, punk, surf and psychobilly madness.
