Autostrade is a comics anthology by more Egyptian comics artists than I count (actually, I can - 21 of them!) and the launch for the first issue is in a couple of days. Wednesday, to be precise. And many are regulars of the #CairoTweetups, so we're even more excited!I've cancelled plans for the July #CairoTweetup because of the Tahrir sit-in (which oftentimes feels like a tweetup itself - just come around to the "No to Military Trials" tent and #SalonElMonkey at any given time of day or night) but I think we'll make an exception for the Autostrade big launch. I'll definitely do my best to be there.
So, there! Marwan, Lujee, Mazloum, Khorazaty, Mog (and all the other authors of course) we're very proud of you! Mabrouk!
If you don't know the authors, worry not! We've been promised special backstage #CairoTweetup access :) And if you don't like them (ha, ha, ha...), go anyway: Performances by Hany Mustafa (who rocks) and City Band (whom I don't know, but am told are good) will also entertain you.
When: Wednesday 20 July. 6:30 PM. Performances start at 7:00 PM.
Where: Ahmed Shawky museum, 6 Ahmed Shawki Street, off of Mourad Street ,Corniche El Nil. I understand that's south of the Four Seasons in Giza.
Facebook event: here.
* I think there's an Afghan Saudi artist somewhere in the mix. Agenda kharegeya, naturally.
** drinks are free. Added benefit ya3ni.
