Cookout Six is at an end. Thanks to all that attended, and keep an eye on this space for future Comic Cookouts!

2009-05-21T23:08:00.003-05:00

The deadlines are past and the cookout is a mere 15 days away. Get ready (i.e. pack sunscreen - Nashville is hot in the summer)!

And many thanks go out to our donors this year! You've helped six people make it to the cookout who otherwise would be watching from a distance (in some cases, a rather large distance).

2009-02-27T22:09:00.002-06:00

The donation fund is now open. Go forth and help a fellow cartoonist / enthusiast / friend / rival make it to the cookout!

2009-02-19T22:50:00.002-06:00

Registrations are now open! Donations will open up next week, so start thinking about who you can help bring to the cookout this year. ^_^

The website for the 2009 Comic Cookout appears online! Huzzah!

For the first time, the comic cookout is moving! St. Louis was a wonderful venue for the last five years thanks to the kindness and generosity of the Kolters; however, other obligations (in the form of a newborn baby boy) make it impossible for them to host this year. Aggie Janicot of American Gothic Daily has volunteered to pick up the slack and take the cookout down south to Nashville, Tennesee. Arrangements have been made, and the catering this year promises to be the best (and most authentic cookout food catered-not-cooked) yet!

Registration and donations will open up on February 16th.

Here's turning up the heat -

We don't have nearly the money to get McDuffies over here...

Open your wallets people.

The Kolters pledge twenty-five cents on the dollar for every dollar donated to get McDuffies to the Cookout frrom February 20th through February 29, 2008. That's 25%. So for every hundred, we'll drop 25 bucks in ourselves.

2008-01-27T17:01:00.000-06:00

The Donation Fund currently stands at roughly $40. We need another $1,060 to get McDuffies to the Cookout. Please donate if you can. Every little bit helps.

2008-01-20T16:42:00.000-06:00

17 people signed up.

2008-01-10T18:15:00.000-06:00

New information concerning traveling: Interstate 64 will be closed between Ballas Road and interstate 170 during 2008. Considering how construction congests traffic in St. Louis, it is advised and recommended to avoid driving on interstate 64 entirely when making your travel plans.

2007-12-23T01:02:00.000-06:00

The official Cookout-Cam™ has been added to the Multimedia page! The cam won't be live until the actual event, but that will be the place to go to view the crazy happenings once things get going!
