Well, Texas was a hoot.
Many thanks to Greg "Hero Camp" Thompson and his lovely wife, Jen, for graciously hosting a zillion people including myself and my girlfriend, Kara. I moved a lotta books and met a lot of fine folks at the show, and did a metric shitload of sketches. Now, i just hafta recover as quickly as possible and get back to the grind.

Two side notes:
1: if you're going on a trip, but aren't in any particular rush to get there, i highly recommend taking a train. We got a sleeper car and it was really a wonderful way to go. For the price of a flight, we got beds to stretch out in and included meals, which were surprisingly excellent. There's a certain romanticism about rail travel put forth by old movies, and it's all true, really.

2: The Incredibles is a fucking awesome movie. Pixar has really outdone themselves here.
