[sugarboots]

Hi All,

IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS WEEKS the CON is comin back to San Diego!!! aaaand . . .

Cassius King Gallery and Curator, Chako Suzuki, present . . .

Ooh! Ah! Shangri-La!: Paradise is Very Nice

Just minutes from the convention center and the waterfront and with easy access to the international airport, the Cassius King gallery provides the perfect five-star accommodation for fifteen artists who will stimulate your body and soul with their visions of paradise. In a lavish gallery setting under the endless sunny skies of San Diego, you will experience the wonder of independent comic book art. When you get tired of roaming the spacious gallery, you can relax by the koi pond in the garden behind the gallery and listen to the soothing tunes of DJ Steven Nereo, founder of Slabco Records.

With all the violence and death in the world today, Cassius King thought it'd be nice to revive the old trick, escapism, and imagine what it would look like in 2004. Curator, Chako Suzuki, handpicked seventeen independent comic book artists who are translating their visions of paradise onto canvas and paper just for you. Comic books are enjoying a comeback among young adults in both the theater and in print, and we'd like to show San Diego that comics aren't just for little kids - they bring about the nostalgia, craziness, and imagination that our everyday lives may lack.

Come see that paradise is very nice at the free opening reception on Friday, July 23, 2004, from 6 - 11:00 pm! There will be artwork and lots of goodies to buy, so bring your cash! The gallery is located a hop, skip, and a jump away from the convention center, so if you’re there for Comicon, come finish off your day with Cassius King. The show will only run until August 9, 2004. Bon Voyage!
