I Come from the Land of the Ice and Snow...

VALHALLA, I AM COMING.

This year's SDCC will probably my most low-key and least-frantic ever.

I'll be at the Modern Tales booth with Shaenon, Dirk, The Marvelous Patric, Glych, Marilyn Scott-Waters and Jason Thompson. It will be awesome.

If any of you are going, I plan on bringing a roll of canvas and some ink for us and random other people to goof off and paint on. 200-proof attention whoring, but that's what cons are for, really.

Also, sound the horns and beat the drums, because Girlamatic only just recently broke into Alexa's Top 100,000 Websites for the first time ever as far as total hits and page popularity goes. I know you're all reading it, now. You can't deny it. YOU CANNOT DENY THE COLD, UNFEELING LOGIC OF ALEXA. Thanks for winning GAM the bronze in the 100,000-meter dash; we're the third Modern Tales site to make it this high. Hoorj.

Anyway, that's it. I'll try to update before I leave for the con Thursday. In the meantime, enjoy some of the decorative splendor of Lincoln Park. Hope the lightpost wasn't Republican.

Is there a Modern Tales booth? Haven't seen any mention. I'd love to know the number if there is.

You must hear Dread Zeppelin's cover of "Immigrant Song". It is most incredibly awesome.

Joy! Have fun Spike. I'll be celebrating SDCC in spirit only. I might get to go next year though :)
[though I imagine it'll be a harrowin experience. I've only ever been to one Con. I can't imagine what one that big must be like]

The MT booth was booked by Shaenon I believe, a continuation of the Girlamatic booth we set up last year, Scott. Gammers are go getters, y'know.

Have fun, and good luck! I'll just sit here on the other coast and drown in anonymity, since stowing away on a plane is so much harder than it used to be...

Scott: Yup, it was a last minute kind of a thing, but we're all gonna be at G6.

I case I miss you before you leave: good luck, have a great time, etc etc.

Also, if you see John Byrne, beat him about the head and shoulders for me. I know he's old and stuff, but he deserves it.
