So I went to the Alternative Press Expo this last week and let me tell you, there are way too many comic people who are taller than I am. Here are the important points:

- Yates and Malki! are two of the hippest cats on the block. We really did draw this awful comic that ended in some kind of death and too many Pokemon references.

- Kazu Kibuishi is an especially great guy who, to my surprise, actually reads my comic. We talked about things for a bit and he pulled out his Amulet workbook, which contained all sorts of secret forbidden knowledge.

- I met Ben Costa who does the exceptional webcomic Shi Long Pang, which involves Buddhist monks and more educational Chinese history than you can shake a stick at. We got to talking about kung fu too, which was a treat.

- I ran into the guys who do Masters of the Art too, who seemed either really sleepy or really confused by my prescence at the convention. I may have only spoke Spanish to them, but I can't remember now.

- Hope Larson and Brian Lee O'Malley are too nice for their own good. I was going to invite them to go play Guitar Hero, but I forgot.

- Brian O. has some of the coolest Victorian style artwork ever. I was going to buy some, but then I remembered the Nucleus gallery stole all of my money.
