Just returned from a convention in Texas. I’m not entirely certain that the stars at night were big and bright, as I didn’t leave the convention center or nearby hotel for much time at all. However, I think I ingested about half a cow’s worth of steak over the weekend. It was absurd. For dinner Saturday night, I ordered steak, soup and salad… but not the normal soup and salad. This was “steak soup,” followed by a plate of “steak salad,” before digging into my main course of a 14oz steak. As I mentioned earlier, it was absurd. And I don’t think I can even count on both hands the number of times I heard someone say, “Get ‘er done.”

However, I met some good people, including the crew at Fanboy Radio and the guys behind one of my favorite indie comics, Archaic. And I picked up some back issues of Man-Thing… so it wasn’t a total loss. Yup. Man-Thing takes on a fraternity in one of the issues, which has a clever tag line at the bottom of the cover: “Animal House was never like this!”

Classic.

I am tired now. Arriving at the airport around 1am and not returning home until 2:30am – only to head back to the office at 9am – will do that to a person. Boo-f’ing-hoo, I know.
