2 Of The Jazzier Things At San Diego Comic Con 2015

We are always looking for the Jazz-angle on the big happenings in San Diego and around the world, and one of the biggest in SD is Comic Con, happening July 9-12, 2015 at the San Diego Convention Center. And the Jazz-angle this year includes a special launch of San Diego native Igor Goldkind's "Is She Available?" described as a "Graphic Poetry Collection Combining Art, Comics, Jazz & Animation."

Igor Goldkind and The Andrew Allen Trio Getting Jazzy at San Diego Comic Con 2015

Igor Goldkind "Is She Available?" Special Launch Thursday, July 9

Native San Diegan Igor Goldkind launches a new Graphic Poetry Collection "Is She Available?" during a session on Thursday, July 9 11AM. Here's the description,

Meshing poetry, comics, art, music and animation, author/producer Igor Goldkind has created a bold book of over 40 poems visually interpreted by comics panelists Bill Sienkiewicz, Liam Sharp, Rian Hughes, David Lloyd, Amy Sterling, Mario Torero, and Olivia Brooks. Everyone attending the panel will get a free eBook download review copy. There will be T-shirt prizes for good questions. Moderated by comics artist Alonzo Nunez, director of Little Fish Comic Art Academy.

Sounds cool to us...maybe something to explore during Progressive Nights (Mon-Fri, 10PM-Midnight PT) or on an episode of San Diego Sessions (Sunday 5-6PM).
