So having a successful Jam in that theater would be as great closure to an era some of us would like to forget We will also have t-shirts and the INTERFANthology 1 and 2 published by the time of the show will have ashcan represented. Admission prices are $5.00 and two cans of food (optional) or $10.00 for two day pass. Kids under 5-free. Hours are 10am-6pm Saturday and Sunday. For Exhibitor and Dealer tables prices go to the link below http://www.inter-fan.org/InterFanJam/InterfanJam2009.htm We now have INTER-FAN PUBLICATIONS as well with the publishing of the afore mentioned INTER-FANthology (which I will debuting at SPACE next week). We also have ashcans, INTER-FANthology Preview, INTER-ChainAPA, INTERFANtasy and NINOvisions. As I have now cracked the secret of making PDF files and coloring in PhotoShop, look for some new books to premier. We will be featuring unpublished IF art and newly discovered talent. Below is an ad I did for the Anthology that has appeared in some fellow creator's books. ![]() POST INTER-FAN JAM UPDATE September 22, 2008 Wow haven't posted here in a bit, well The Jam 2008 is history but what a history, even the wraith of Mother Nature with it's torrential rains could not keep us down. All out of state guests (Liz, Shawnti, Wade AND Alex Nino) all arrived safely and we picked up and brought to the hotel with some minor delays here and there. Steve and his friend Dan Fox went to get Liz and Shawnti, while Krista and I went to get Wade and Alex. Friday night after we got to hotel and all met up (with George and Michael from HIM) we went to The Zone and intro'd everyone to OT and Kevin the shop's owners. We then went down the street to the neighborhood bar and just talked and whatnot I am sure everyone will post what the experience was like for each of them. After words we all went back to our hotel, it had started to rain and i was up half the night trying to arrange the table layout. Of course the next morning the tables were set up BUT that is when we discovered the ceiling was leaking in several places (you have to remember it was raining fast and HARD all night, worst in 137 years), so they let us put tables out in the lobby that we used to let folks in. Not what I had wanted to do but really no choice and no complaints from any exhibitors that I am aware of. Everyone that was to show up did and all got tables. The 501st Star Wars Battalion set their Jail and Bail outside the entrance and had their table right there as you went in with their raffle prizes. Though rain seemed to put a damper on the show but over all we did ok. The 501st did raise money from their jail and Bail and gave to me to split between charities we were representing so am giving a split between the Red Cross as no one gave blood due to the weather and the American Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The auction we were to have will now be an online auction and will be up soon. I am going to be requesting items from some more creators as some priorities have changed. We sold lots of the AUAD Publishing "Art of Alex Nino. He even signed copies for folks. What a great guy. He was able to talk to a lot of fans, old and young. The other great moment was the IF Fandom Hall of Fame induction ceremony for James Alan Hanley. I want to thank Cartoon Da Pharo, and here is the pic of the plaque, I really want to thank Jim Engel, Russ Maheras and Doug Rice. I especially want to thank Krista Hanley for accepting the award in her father's stead and hope her family realize how important he was to us , in particularly in the Chicago-land area. Well onto Next year. **Updates** INTER-FAN JAM UPDATE September 9, 2008 Less than a week left!! Come hang out and meet various artists around!

We will also have t-shirts and the INTERFANthology though not published by the time of the show will have an ashcan represented. This in conjunction with the INTER-FAN Fandom Hall of Fame presentation to the Alan Hanley family for his great work for Fandom back in the 60's and 70's. Jim Engel, Russ Maheras and Doug Rice will be there. we will also have a display of his art and books. trying to get a hold of other of Alan's friends but no response yet. We are also planning on having a silent auction of which the funds will go to Alex Nino (though unbeknown to him), as he is in somewhat financial straights and we feel he has given alot to comics and Fandom. If you know any pros who would like to contribute art or scripts or anything please let me know. Talked to OT at The Zone Coimcs and they will have magic at the shop and Yu-Gi-Oh at The Jam from 12-6.though this is still in discussion. Will also have HeroClix.

Any questions, send me an e-mail doc@inter-fan.org This year we have MORE ROOM, MORE VENDORS, and MORE ACTIVITIES. I hope you decided to reserve your table for this year! Well, we have decided to have The Jam in September as more of our out of state compatriots might be able to make it out here to join the fun. As I mentioned above the tables are $35.00 but these are for the 8ft tables of which we have 30 of, we do have 30 of the 6ft tables as well which will go for $30.00 for those who would like those. Please go to the Services and Product Section to order your tables. I have also blocked 20 rooms for convention guests (1 bed $75.00 per night, 2 beds $80.00 per night), if you would like to reserve a room please contact Homewood Hotel and ask for Satish at 708-957-1600 and mention you will be attending The Jam or let me know directly. Thanks for your patience. INTER-FAN JAM UPDATE April 21, 2008 Seems like the Hotel booked the room for Saturday night the 16th so we may have to switch to the weekend of September 12-14, I should know more in a few days as if the folks who have the room do not get the deposit in then we would get it for August. I rather like September as it WOULD be cooler and the room rates are $75.00 instead of $115.00. Will know more by Thursday. Thanks for your patience. INTER-FAN JAM UPDATE April 9, 2008 Well, one hurdle down, went to the hotel secured the room, don't need to bring deposit till next week. Got a pretty good deal for two days. Unfortunately he wouldn't budge on the room rates of $105.00 for a single and $115.00 for a double. A little high but you do get to use the pool they have there which is pretty nice. However, there are at least 5 other hotels around the Homewood so I will contact them and see what I can find out. The shop (The Zone) is about a 5 minute drive from the hotel and there are plenty of shops and restaurants around. We will have a pre-Jam signing at the shop Friday for those who come. I will now send out an e-mail to see who is interested, We have tables for those who bought them for the canceled March show and OT has two artists interested, one of them being Doug Rice of Dynamo Joe fame. OT the manager gave me contact info from one of the Chicago radio stations and getting contact info on groups we can try to help in the area. Well that is pretty much all for now more later. INTER-FAN JAM UPDATE April 7, 2008 I am getting things together for The IF Jam in August in cooperation with The Comic Zone in Homewood, Il. Met with OT the manager and Steve Piscione of Kaosfield Studios and who also does the producing of The Comic Code a weekly show The zone does every Wednesday. Wally was also there as was Lady DOC, we are planning to have The Jam on the weekend of August 15, maybe even two days if things go right. I just heard from Alex Nino that he and others from California may make a trip out. Speaking of The Jam I just downloaded all the pics taken from the 2007 show, so please take a look. Just talked to the hotel management and the weekend of the 15th is free and talked over what room we would use (The Derby No not Kirwood Room), followed that up with an e-mail and background on IF and requested about room rates for those who want to stay overnight. I plan to go out there Wednesday and meet them and hopefully nail down some final figures. Oh, here is the link to the hotel: www.homewood-hotel.com/ INTER-FAN JAM UPDATE February 5, 2008 The 2008 Jam is now going to be in August more details to come. Main Enterprises will be publishing INTER-FANthology. More details to come. e-mail me (DOC) doc0715@aol.com You can include attachments if you'd like, the higher res-count the better.
