Our friends at the Van Eaton Gallery are hosting an event that I want to invite you all to. On Thursday, April 19, 2007 from 6:00pm-10:00 pm the gallery is hosting a gathering of animation book authors for a meet-and-greet, book signing and I think a panel discussion. The gallery folks have gone out of their way to get many authors to attend, the guest list currently includes Tom Sito, Nancy Beiman, Dean Yeagle, Stephen Silver, Rik Maki, J.B. Kaufman, me, Mark Cotta Vaz, Disney Archivist Dave Smith, and several others to be announced. In addition to our books for sale, Stuart Ng will be bringing cool stuff from his incredible stash, and Van Eaton will have rare original animation art, related to the book topics, on display. And refreshments. Don’t forget the refreshments.

And it’s free. You have to RSVP because space is limited. More info here. At the Van Eaton Galleries, 13613 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423 (818)788-2357. Doors will open promptly at 6:00 pm.
