No wait, it was an AWESOME weekend.

Despite forgetting my passport at home and spending about 100 bucks on cab fare busting back and forth to the airport at 5 in the morning, I managed to reach The Reactor in Chicago. I quickly met up with Felipe, C.B. and Rivkah and had a few drinks to unwind with at the bar downstairs. Talked life, work and how the draft beers tasted like shite. I stuck to bottled Coronas for the rest of the night. Scottie Young dropped by the next day and the con was officially on.

I had a few panels to speak at and then spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with the other guests. Scottie took us to his apartment/studio and showed us his mad setup and work. The dude is talented and has his shit totally together. Props. I also got to try some Cajun cuisine for the first time and relished in chicago za. Man, I won't see pizza the same ever again. It was freakin' awesome.

I like this con cuz I have the luxury to just do NOTHIN'. Nights were free for the guests to wander around, get drunk and chill. And chill we did. I can't remember the last time I talked so MUCH about comics. Like, hours, man. Hours upon hours. We couldn't stop. The con staff was awesome as well. SO nice and accomodating. Fuck, everything was awesome!

Anyway, I'll keep this brief. Special thanks to James, Nathan, John, Megan, Brandy, Rich, Vidas, among a whole bunch of others I can't remember. You guys and girls rocked. I had a blast.

Todays pic is, again, from BOTI. Giichi seems to have taken a back seat with the current arc so here he is. Enjoy.
