Welcome to the official home page of the 2008 St. Louis Comic Cookout!

This year's cookout is being held in and managed from a hotel - we've outgrown any one single residence. The cookout will be held at the Best Western Airport Plaza Inn in St. Louis. This Inn has free shuttle service to and from the airport which will make it much easier to get people to and from the cookout.

As with the 2007 cookout, this is an international event! We have had people showing from Denmark, Canada, and Australia! Trips around town are available, pretty much at the discretion of the people willing to take you. But it's never been a problem before.

Rooms are available at the hotel, held under the name Kolter Family Reunion, from Thursday through Sunday (you may reserve them for less time if needed; that's how long they're held for by default). They're $75, and up to four people can stay in the room for that price (They're double-queens, and all very stylish rooms with cable, wireless, refrigerator and microwave). Find out how to reserve rooms or request someone to stay with in the Cookout Info and Registration sections.

As with last year, there's a fee for the cookout. The cost is $35 a person, and this covers everything related to the event itself - you won't be begged for donations or asked to buy ice or soda, bring chips, etcetera. The cookout is not a profit-making venture - that $35 will be used for cookout related things.

Finally, it's been asked if this is a Comic Genesis only cookout - it is not. It just happened to start out as a thing within Comic Genesis. If you're a fan of webcomics, or a webcomic artist from anywhere, or just interested in webcomics, you are welcome to attend.
