Hayase!

June Hayase this Saturday

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 05:09:36 GMT

Your friendly reminder for this month!

Date: Saturday, 13th of June
Time: 2pm to dinner
Place: Mars Hill Cafe: Church St Parramatta near the river.

Blacktown zine workshops run over the next 2 saturdays and SupaNova is the weekend after that, 26-28th, make sure you're ready!

Much stuff is afoot in June!

Tue, 26 May 2009 11:51:05 GMT

First order of business: it's almost time for Comikaze24, where a bunch of us attempt to draw a 24-page comic in as many hours! Festivities are over the Queen's Birthday long weekend, so it's time to start figuring out where you'll be working on those pages!

If you live in Blacktown and are between the ages of 15 and 24, perhaps you would be interested in the upcoming zine workshop series at the Blacktown Arts Centre! Said workshops are being taught by zine master/baron Leigh Rigozzi, so you know they're gonna be good. The workshops run on three Saturdays, starting from June 6, from 11am to 1pm. They're free but you will need to sign up for the full program by calling Kate on 9839 6385.

Other bits: our next meetup is on the 13th of June at the Mars Hill Cafe and Supanova Sydney is from the 26th to the 28th of June. Crazy things are happening at Creative Sydney in the next couple of weeks. If you aren't a member of Comics Lifestyle or We Make Zines yet, you should go take a look!

Time: 2pm onwards
Place: Mars Hill Cafe, Church St Parramatta

Annoyingly it's sunday so we can't take proper advantage of the newly opened Bavarian Beer Cafe around the corner.

24 Hour Comic time approaches!

Thu, 22 May 2008 03:29:45 GMT

As we celebrate the Queen's Birthday weekend every year, so do we celebrate the making of comics! 24 hour comic weekend is designed to get your creativity going, and to get a comic made, no matter how terrible it may be!

Details can be found at www.comikaze24.com, the hub of activities this year. The basic idea is you, your choice of comic making apparatus, and 24 straight hours. In that time you must finish a comic, whether it be 8, 16 or the ultimate, 24 pages long. Do it alone, get together a team, throw a party, whatever.

Team Hayase has won many awards in the past, despite my best efforts to distract them with my morale boosting videogames!

Meetup this Sunday

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 05:25:17 GMT

A busy time of year indeed, so Hayase moves to Sunday the 18th this time. This one may well be a recovery session for some! Sadly Seanotype can't make it this time, he's going back to Singapore, maybe for good! He'll be making an appearance at my place on Saturday if anyone wants to farewell him.

November Hayase Session:
Sunday 18th of November
2pm onwards
Upstairs at the Mars Hill Cafe, Parramatta

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass battle/tag sessions hourly. OH and art!

October Hayase: Con season chillax

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 04:53:39 GMT

It's all pretty much over for this year! At least for me, I'm not going to any more conventions...

Hayase soldiers on however, this Sunday. For anyone who wants to crash other people's wierd hobby cons though, there's a Renaissance fair on in Parra park all next weekend :)

Hayase tomorrow, rock on/out

Fri, 21 Sep 2007 01:47:02 GMT

The usual deal, 2pm+, Saturday 22nd of tomorrow, Mars Hill Cafe in Parramatta.

Remember folks, con season is upon us, Hayase folks will be at both Animania and This Is Not Art next weekend. Go out there and buy our stuff (and come to the meeting)

September Meetup is next Saturday, the 22nd

Sat, 15 Sep 2007 04:18:25 GMT

Yes, it's an amazing early reminder that next Saturday holds the fun times that are Hayase. We haven't heard anything about being double-booked this time, but if they are we'll set the horror that is Hayase onto them:

August meetup this weekend

Thu, 23 Aug 2007 01:37:06 GMT

It's time for the usual (late) reminder - this month's meetup is this Saturday the 25th of August. We'll be ~~upstairs~~ downstairs at the Mars Hill Cafe, 331 Church Street, Parramatta from 2pm onwards. See you there!

ETA: There's actually a band competition happening that day, so we'll probably be downstairs! Don't walk right past us, y'hear?!

July meetup reminder

Fri, 27 Jul 2007 00:38:53 GMT

Sorry about the late reminder this month - the July meetup is tomorrow (28 July) at 2pm at the Mars Hill Cafe. We'll be sorting out our table arrangements for Supanova at this meetup, as well as transport for SMASH!, payment for Under The Blue Moon and registration for at least another three zine fairs, so we've got plenty to talk about already...!

If you're an artist working in the Western Sydney area, you still have a few days left to submit your details to the Artfiles directory. Inclusion in the directory is free!
