2008 Convention Season Quickstart

We packed up and shipped a heaping helping of Veronica’s art down to Omegacon yesterday, but it suddenly occurred to us that with all the free time on our hands, there wasn’t any good reason that we shouldn’t drive down to Birmingham this weekend and join the fun. With guests and tracks in fantasy, science fiction, horror, comics, paranormal and the Celtic music scenes, our biggest problem should be deciding where to run each hour.

Next month, our streak of brand new conventions continues at the New York Comic Con artist alley. If her faithful minion finishes laying down all the captions, Veronica’s new art book Retrospectacle will be there with us. Thankfully, we’ll have a few months to recover for a final, more familiar convention in Columbus: the Origins Game Fair. After making a few new friends, we’ll meet up with a few old ones.

Should you happen to be in one of these neighborhoods when we are — new friend or old — be sure to look us up!
