Just a reminder that Telltale and friends will be invading the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco this weekend. We'll have a booth and everything. Friends will be coming by, and you should too.
Alternative Press Expo The Concourse
620 7th Street
San Francisco
Saturday, 4/21 - 11 am to 7 pm
Sunday, 4/22 - 11 am to 6 pm
Who will be there that you know, you ask?
- We're in Booth 616, which we think is just to the right of the front door, all up in the area. You know. We'll have Sam & Max tshirts, poster prints (including the last of the now super-rare Office prints!) and copies of the games for sale. Quality booth banter will be free of charge. We'll also have some webcomic leaflet things you can pick up if you want.*
- Steve Purcell will be at our booth Sunday from 2:00 to whenever, and will be happy to sign books and body parts.
- Dave Grossman will also be there Sunday (at an undisclosed time), selling books of poetry and small xeroxed zines which will make us look like we belong there.
- Across the convention floor you can find Telltale Friend Graham Annable, and the rest of the Hickee crew at their own booth, selling a bunch of awesome art. Also last year they were selling copies of Psychonauts at that booth, so there's that as well.
If that wasn't enough, be sure sometime during the weekend to stop by the opening (and reception) of The Indie, an art show featuring the work of a bunch of independent artists. Included in the show are works by Steve and Graham, as well as the Double Fine Comics guys.
* you want.

| Telltale goes APE

GDC marked the beginning of what's affectionately known as "show season" for marketing goons all over the gaming and comic industry. It's all downhill from here.* Starting with...
APE (the Alternative Press Expo), this weekend in San Francisco!
Various and sundry Telltale folk will be staffing our table all day Saturday and Sunday, selling Sam & Max and Bone merchandise and demoing games (including Bright Side of the Moon, the big season finale!). Special guests may or may not include designer extraordinaire Dave Grossman, Steve Purcell, and former Telltalian Graham Annable (author of Further Grickle and Stickleback). So if you're around and want to come by -- not to mention, walk the APE floor and see all the cool stuff being put out on the indie scene -- then head over to the Concourse (7th and Brannan) this weekend. It'll be fun. (More APE details right here.)
Also opening this weekend: "The Indie", an art show featuring work by alternative press artists, including Graham Annable and Steve Purcell. That show is at Gallery 1988 (1173 Sutter at Polk) and is running from April 21 through May 12.
*In case you're wondering, other upcoming shows include Comic-Con (San Diego in July) and PAX (Seattle in August).

| Bonus weekend surprise update

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know of a few pieces of content which snuck up onto the Telltale site this weekend. First up, the newest Sam & Max machinima short, "Artichoke" is up at the Sam & Max page (and just over to the right there). If you prefer to do your video viewing at Max For President, you'll find it there as well!
Also up this weekend is some new Bone content! (Fancy that!)
New Bone Wallpaper! Browsing over to the bottom of the Bone Wallpapers & Avatars page will net you a new Cow Race wallpaper, which we put together for our demo booth PC at last month's Independent Games Festival.
Bone Soundtrack Labels! Many months back, Telltale forumite Laserschwert revealed that he'd secretly been working on some great looking CD labels and jewel case packaging for our Bone MP3 downloads. He asked us to put them up on the Bone Soundtracks page, and so we have!
So now you have no excuse not to go pretty up your desktop, and your CD-R Bone soundtracks (which everyone should have in their CD changer at all times). Also you have no excuse not to watch that new machinima short, but you probably already watched it.

March is shaping up to be one of the busiest months for us since... well... never mind, every month is a busy month for us. But in March, we're getting out of the office!
Here's where we'll be. Will you be there too? If yes, come see us!
- Wondercon - San Francisco, March 4
Wondercon is the little brother of San Diego Comic-Con, and it promises to be just as much fun. We'll be doing a roundtable discussion on Sunday at 1:30 in Room 220, in which Dave Grossman, Brendan Ferguson, Dave Bogan, Steve Purcell, and Jared Emerson-Johnson will discuss the highs and lows of making Sam & Max: Season 1. The panel will be moderated by Jon Gibson of i am 8-bit.
There's more to this entry! Keep Reading »
