CAG Meeting Minutes
Sunday, July 15, 2007

CAG West Coast Coordinator Phil Clark called the meeting to order at approximately 4:15 PM. The meeting was held at the Comic Bug's temporary location on Manhattan Beach Blvd.

CAG West Coast Coordinator Michael De Lepine (due to Secretary Donna De Lepine’s absence this meeting resulting from a previous commitment) read the minutes from the last meeting and then it was onto business.

It was noted that the Comic-Con Portfolio Review area will not be an option for CAG as a separate entity, mostly due to the fact that booking has been filled since January 2007, however we can hold impromptu portfolio review sessions as interested people come to the CAG table.

As of Sunday’s meeting Phil had not received a mock-up of the Anthology, however at the time these minutes were prepared, the book has been printed, it is in Phil’s possession, and it looks wonderful. 1000 bookmarks are also completed and these were produced at no charge.

We are all set for the San Diego Comic-Con. Phil briefly went over when each person will be manning the CAG table, and everyone appears to be ready to go. Phil will also send out an email with the schedule of times, and also encouraged people to be close to the table if they would like to do so.

Phil also shared a mock-up of the CAG Membership kits and also showed what the rubber stamp looks like. He also shared how the kits will be put together at the table.

There is also a possibility that we will have T-shits for the convention, but this has yet to be confirmed. If we do receive them, it will be determined at that time whether to sell them, raffle them, etc.

As a reminder, the table number at San Diego is #S11. Also, regarding the CAG panel discussion, it will be held on Saturday, July 28, 2007 in Room 24A. CAG is now listed in the San Diego Comic-Con Program, press releases have been sent out and flyers will be distributed. All CAG leaders will be seated at the table for the panel and all CAG members are encouraged to be as close to the front row as possible to give testimonies if they would like.

A question was raised pertaining to space for those CAG members who would like to sell. Phil indicated that most likely the tables would be 6 ft. in length; if they are longer then that is a plus. CAG members will need to be mindful of their items and no problems are being anticipated.

Most people will gather at the bar at the Marriott on Saturday evening to mingle with various professionals. CAG members were encouraged to stop by.

Sales of various products were discussed and more details will be determined as we get closer to the show. It was also mentioned that this is a time for the Anthology to be sold and for CAG to receive the proceeds from those sales.

Mike De Lepine is currently working on the lanyard cards and at the time of these minutes, those cards are now completed.

Phil then mentioned the next CAG meeting, which is scheduled for Sunday, August 19, 2007. This will be a writer’s workshop and much information is planed to be discussed. If members have questions, they are encouraged to email their questions prior to the meeting.

The September meeting will be September 16, 2007 with special guest Chris Moreno who will conduct an artist’s workshop.

A CAG signing at the Comic Bug is still tentatively planned for August 15th. All contributors of Anthology #6 are encouraged to be there. It is possible that we will be back at the Bug’s original location for this event.

The web comics website have been debuted with great results. Currently three artists are posted on the site and there is more to come!
