What a busy few months it has been, and will continue to be. Always.
Our Fables party was a blast! I'll post pictures, hopefully soon. I dressed up as Bigby Wolf. If you've never read Fables, you seriously need to stop by either Austin Books or a nearby comic shop (if you don't live in Austin and must miss out on the talk-to-Brandon-about-the-greatness-of-comics experience) and pick it up. It's one of my favorites. It's accessible to all (over 18) audiences. The characters are familiar, as they are classic fairy tale characters in a modern-day setting. The interweaving of the old stories and the creation of new tales is so ingenious that you'll find yourself wondering at who is going to be tied into what next. Plus, the characters can be extremely surprising. Who knew Little Boy Blue was a badass? You have to check this one out. The first collection is sort of a typical murder mystery, and is mostly good for re-introducing you to these characters and their new roles. After that, though, the ongoing story takes on a life all it's own.
next up for us is the famous end of the year back issue sale. it's going to be pirate-themed this year because... well... pirates are awesome. I'll be busting my ass for the next month getting ready for that, along with going to WizardWorld Texas, setting up at the local Collector Expo, and a billion other things. I am never going to be bored ever again.
So, how are you all doing? You should leave me comments and let me know. Otherwise, I might forget you exist. Okay, that's not true. I just wanted to provoke you to write something here, as if this were the bathroom wall of a seedy bar. you don't even have to say anything particularly witty. Believe me, I've read many a bathroom wall, and for every gem, there is a hundred "for a good time call..." declarations. Speaking of...
Funniest thing I've ever seen on a bathroom wall: Someone had drunkenly scrawled "I'm gonna bang every beautiful bitch out there!" to which some clever bathroom graffiti genius responded "Go home, dad. You're drunk." I laughed hard enough that I had to quickly become conscious of my aim, much to the appreciation of the wretching fool in the next stall. Just thought I'd share that with you all.
So, let me know how you are. Or even who you are. Tell me your favorite bathroom graffiti, or just mention that my number is one to call for a good time. No, I'm NOT drunk.
