Some of you know that
roho,
genet and I decided to make last weekend a vacation by travelling to Madison and crashing out with
crackjackal and
arphalia. While a visit to the two lovely ladies is always reason enough to make the trip out of Illinois to the wilds of Wisconsin,we also had other motives! Namely,
chebutykin and
cajones were in town for
OdysseyCon. How could we pass up a chance to visit with our favorite comic-coloring web zombie and her significant other (and in so doing also pass up the chance to visit with other good friends such as
onceagainplease,
uglyzebras, et al)? We'd have to be mad!
Well, we all had a good time. Cheb summarizes well with her
series of entries, and Roho gives an amusing
abstraction in his journal.
Most surprising to me, though, was meeting
muskrat_john and getting the entire crew of
Dr. Blink to autograph copies of issues #0 and #1 for all of us. I had to capture the moment, so here it is below....
( The crew, hard at work, autographing books for us fans! )I admit it, this made me positively giddy. Or perhaps it was a combination of sleep deprivation, sushi, caffeine, late hours and too much nicotine. I'm planning to do this again next year in a much more formal fashion (read: registered attendee). I need more relaxing conventions in my life.
