I Am the Colum-Bus

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

Tomorrow’s Thanksgiving and the day after I drive to Mid-Ohio-Con, so this will be my last post for a bit. The first bit of interest is my traveling companion for the Cleveland-Columbus trip: Larry Thomas, “The Soup Nazi” from Seinfeld. (Hmmm, Seinfeld… why does that sound so familiar, as if it’s been in the news?) [...]

Glassy-eyed Over Mid-Ohio-Con

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

Mid-Ohio-Con is my favorite convention of the year. I’ve been lucky enough to become a part of the show, as well as an attendee. If you’re thinking about doing one more convention this year, or have been considering check out Roger Price’s excellent show, well this is the year to get yourself to Columbus and [...]

Thanks for Giving

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

I designed a Thanksgiving card for KS Associates. They provide civil engineering and land surveying services and I met one of their associates when I was in Los Angeles for the awards ceremony for the TDA cards I designed. Apparently, Thanksgiving cards are quite the thing in this industry, and probably gets them around all [...]

The Buzz About Love

Friday, November 17th, 2006

There’s an interview with me on The Pulse about the upcoming Love and Capes #2. I’m really happy with how the book turned out. Maybe a little too much. I’m working on #3 right now, and man, it’s a high bar to meet three times in a row. Still, there’s a lot of new and [...]

Passion of the Geek

Friday, November 17th, 2006

I went up to Target yesterday and I saw a line of people in tents lined up to buy the new Playstation. I’ve heard about these people on the news over and over. Everyone’s calling them fools, losers, and describing them as stupid. Maybe they are. I bet we could make money off that. You [...]

Almost Over

Monday, November 13th, 2006

WizardWorld Dallas is over. It was a pretty decent show as such things go. I moved a decent amount of books, and spread the good word about Love and Capes. Hopefully, that translates into sales with the upcoming issues. More importantly, it was a chance to see my buddy Jesse and his family and friends. [...]

Hottie and Not-tie

Saturday, November 11th, 2006

There’s a bit of a cold snap here at WizDallas. It’s been cool outside, but someone, most likely Captain Cold although it could be Killer Frost I suppose, has drained all the heat from the building. It’s chilly in here today. Fortunately, as a longtime con attendee, I always have my Universal Studios Spider-Man the [...]

Gotta Love the Big D

Friday, November 10th, 2006

So I’m here in Dallas, now. I’m writing this from the show floor at the WizardWorld convention. They’ve either got free WiFi, or I’m piggybacking on someone else’s signal. EIther way, I’m connected, baby. I flew in late on Wednesday from Columbus. Normally, I fly from Cleveland, but I’m doing a gig in Columbus on [...]

Still Crazy After All Five Years

Friday, November 10th, 2006

I got so wrapped up in Love and Capes and Election Day and all that Monday slipped my mind. What was Monday? November 6th. The day I stopped working for The Man and went off on my own. It’s been five years now. So, forgive me if I get a little reflective as I tell [...]

Big D

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

I’m headed off to Dallas to do WizardWorld in a few minutes. If you’re going to be in the Metroplex, come on by and check out my space in Artists’ Alley. I’ll be there with a bunch of things, including a color preview of “Love and Capes #2″!
