...And I´ll also be there.
In fact, I participated of the International Book Fair of Porto Alegre for seventeen consecutive years now - 1991/2008 - on teaching workshops and several other related activities( like panels, lectures and expositions, or commented video cycles ).On this year, I will be teaching a Cartoon and Comics workshop( for "Asteróide" social inclusion program for children ), as usual - I do that since 2006 on the Fair - and I´d be a lecturer on a panel about Cartoons( saturday, november 8th, 8:00 PM ), too.
