Maybe Day event planned in Berkeley, California, in July

Wilmington Comic Fest at The Queen in Wilmington, Delaware 1/10/26

Bobby Campbell's latest newsletter has an announcement that I think deserves a separate blog post, so that it can get a little attention: " I have set my sights on an in-person Maybe Day event in Berkeley, California on July 23, 2026. We'll see!"

I hope this comes together, and of course as I learn more, I will share here. 

Bobby of course is the founder of the annual Maybe Day celebrations on July 23, and the more recent midwinter Maybe Night events. At first, these were online celebrations, but recently Bobby has shifted more toward in-person events, such as his Wilmington Comic Fest conventions. 

I am a big fan of the possibilities of the internet, but there also is something to be said about in-person meetups. I certainly loved my time with Gregory Arnott and Bobby at Confluence in Pittsburgh, and I got to meet up with Gregory and his wife at another Confluence. 

Bobby Campbell's comics convention, and 'Tales of Illuminatus' update

 

Bobby Campbell reports a good turnout for his Wilmington Comic Fest, an event he held to on Maybe Day, July 23 (I boldfaced some news):

"The Wilmington Comic Fest was an absolute blast! We actually had a ton of people come out, (on a Wednesday night no less!) all the artists had a great time, and it looks like we're going to do it again in the Fall :)))

"Here's a link to an IG post that has all of the featured artists linked.

"There's also livestream videos from WiseSpag who went around and talked to the artists:

As for Tales of Illuminatus, the second comic book of the series, Bobby reports, "TOI goes very well indeed! 28 pages down and 15 or so left to go."

While the Kickstarter funded, please note that you can still do a preorder to reserve your copy.
