Appearances: CWA at Alternative Press Expo
The Cartoonists With Attitude gang will be out in full force in San Francisco this April 21-22 for the Alternative Press Expo (APE). Confirmed CWAers so far (and possibly some more to come):
- Matt Bors ("Idiot Box")
- Keith Knight ("The K Chronicles")
- Stephanie McMillan ("Minimum Security")
- August Pollak ("Some Guy With a Website")
- Ted Rall(Silk Road to Ruin)
- Mikhaela Reid ("The Boiling Point")
- Shannon Wheeler ("How to be Happy")
- Masheka Wood ("Not Just Knee Deep")
I've spent hardly any time (i.e. one day) in San Francisco, so any recommendations for great restaurants or thrift stores or budget hotels or other goodies are extremely welcome.
And in case you weren't aware, you should really read our group blog (also available as an RSS feed or LiveJournal feed) if you want to get all our blogs and most of our cartoons in one convenient place. We also have a not-so-frequently updated Cartoonists With Attitude MySpace page if you want to be our friend.

Wow! I so want to go and meet all of you!
The Haight, which is right beside Golden Gate Park, has several different independent stores including many thrift stores, as well as headshops, custom exciting underwear stores, new age, retro, and one of the largest new and used independent music stores in the country.
Plus, the Cartoon Art Museum is about a mile away from the Expo venue.
Yes, the Haight is the only place I've been--I got some amazing thrift finds at the Wasteland and used CDs at Amoeba records. I can't wait to go again!

This is your cousin Stefanie. Your grandmother told me you were going to be in San Francisco. Unfortunately I'm moving from San Francisco to Seattle next week so I will miss you by a few months. Here are some recommendations:
- The Haight, as Amanda mentioned is there are lots of great Thrift stores. There is a restaurant called Kan Zaman which is very fun. It is a Mediterranean restaurant which has belly dancing in the evening.
- The Mission, this is one of my favorite neighborhoods. There are lots of great Mexican restaurants as well as other types of foods. If you like tapas Picaro on 16th Street is very good. For sushi, We Be Sushi on Valencia is very good and reasonably priced. The Mission also has great bars and music. The Elbow Room has live music on the weekends. There are also a lot of dive bars in The Mission.
- If you want to check out some museums I recommend the SF MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) which I believe is pretty close to the Exhibition Center. Also, the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park is great and has a wonderful of the City. If you go to Golden Gate Park, it is free go up the view tower at the De Young Museum.
Enjoy your trip and feel free to contact me if you would like more ideas.
Stef
