I’ll probably leave this up here at the top all next week as I try to make deadlines before the show. Drop a comment if you think you’ll be going to San Diego and might see me. Most of my appearances are piled onto Thursday (I may not come in at all Saturday, it’s a COMICON in that place. That’s right, I just replaced “Zoo” with the more apt term). The real question is: will my back heal up enough in time for me to go? I’m actually lying on the floor in ridiculous pain from strain on my lower back muscles. It’s a strange position to type in, too. So, here’s the theoretical schedule…
