Well this is a thing evidently: Steve “30 Days of Night” Niles is going to be Skype-ing into Escape Pod Comics in Huntington, L.I., Wednesday night, Aug. 14, around 6 p.m. The idea is that, as a creator, he doesn’t have tons of time to go around to a lot of stores or conventions, so this is a simple, inexpensive and much less time-intensive way for him to “meet” fans.

In fact, Robot 6 just wrote about the idea.

Niles will be on for about an hour and Menachem Luchins’ store will be live-streaming the whole thing on its Ustream channel: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/escape-pod-events

Escape Pod Comics is at 302 Main Street, Huntington, L.I.
