Hey all, excited to announce that Jeff Newelt and I have organized a kickoff party for this year’s MoCCA Fest. The party is this Friday at Sutra in the East Village. This year we’ve got very special musical guests in the form of anti-folker/cartoonist Jeffrey Lewis and 60s freak folk legend Peter Stampfel of the Holy Modal Rounders. Myself and cartoonist Dean Haspiel will we DJing, while R. Sikoryak does some live painting.

The event kicks off at 7:00 (Lewis and Stampfel start promptly at 7:30PM). There’s a $5 donation at the door, which will go to help keep MoCCA afloat. Special thanks to sponsors Top Shelf and Zip Comics–and artist Sean Pryor, who created the amazing poster art, which you can see after the jump (Pryor will be selling prints of the work at the show).

For more information, please check out the official Facebook invite.
