Tickets go on sale today at CB!
What? Summer Slime number 7.
When? Saturday August 3rd.
Where? In the hills of Santa Ana… just kidding. Santa Ana is pretty flat. Exact location given to RSVPers before the event as it is a private space.
Tell me more. Summer Slime started as an alternative and more personal funzone to SDCC in San Diego during comic con. Paul Kaiju had already been doing an event by himself, and sometimes with other artists. I would see him wandering about in San Diego his hometown, and we would say hi to each other. Sometimes he would call be Brian, once he called me Steve… I was just getting to know him. The first year he had his event in oldtown at Gunnzo I stopped by and hung out for a bit… and the next year it was on. Stayed at Paul’s house for the first time. I met Melissa… and then it was just like we were bonded. We would host the even together. I quit even going into SDCC, and we had loads of fun. Along the way we dubbed it Summer slime, and invited Rampage to come play as a permanent fixture as well. When the blip came, Gunnzo had to move, and the space wouldn’t work anymore, and I (I think) had the idea to team up with Creature Bazaar. Now it’s in Santa Ana every year, and our cast of beautiful weirdos continues to slowly grow. This year, officially Draculazer is joining, and officially Blitzkrieg is joining. Along, as always with a few other surprises. We hire some delicious catering for tacotime, and a DJ that spins REALLY good old pop and punk 45’s. It’s a dig dong flarking hoot!
Every year we all go for it. Making loads of one offs, runs, and other fun. Above is a small sampling of what I had last year. This year I’ll have 5 Jumbo Morel One offs, a regular run of Morel Snacks, Gilly, chonks, toby, and more… I already started messing around with some really fun mash ups too.
Hope to see you there. Please feel free if you have questions, or comments about your Summer Slime experiences. Were you at the first 5 and Dime show in the gaslight? What year was that?
