The Richmond Zine Fest on Oct. 5 will feature some local cartoonists and (fairly local) small press publishers, including AdHouse Books (Chris Pitzer), Joe Mochove & Rusty Rowley, Rachel Scheer and JTW. Admission is free. 

Actually, it's Chris Pitzer speaking on Diamond's new minimum orders at Indie Spinner Rack Issue #148, Friday, February 06, 2009.

See Indie Spinner Rack Issue #125 from Monday, May 26, 2008 for Part One of our look at the state of comics distribution! Retailer Andrew Neal, owner of Chapel Hill Comics and publisher Chris Pitzer of AdHouse Books join us to discuss Diamond Comic Distributors - how the system works, what works well, what doesn't, and how can it be improved?
