In other news, I have been really busy putting together stuff for a new print of the comic (Sans embarrassing typos >_>) and stuff with my knee as well.  It just feels like it never quite goes away.  I have the next couple pages of ZK drawn out though.  New job has been exhausting.  It’s just a completely different type of environment than I am used to and it killed me creatively for a bit.  I’m slowly getting into the groove though.  Just in time for classes!

We also went to Hangar 1 the other day and learned the art of boozing.  That was some pretty damn interesting stuff.  Luckily, I don’t think it’s made me any more of a booze snob than I already am (a pretty big one,) but it did give me a lot of ideas for fancy high alcohol drinks!  Hangar 1 is this isolated place out in the middle of fuckall nowhere on an abandoned air base.  There was some really pretty scenery there and I pity the soul that gets drunk out there because there wasn’t a food joint or public transportation to be had for miles.

I have also been dealing with more crap with my knee.  Really, when am I not at this point.  The pain just flat out hasn’t gone away.  I can’t do normal stuff anymore and I’m really starting to get sick of it.  The doc has me on 600mg of ibuprofen 3x a day in the hopes to lower some inflammation but it’s not like I can do that for the rest of my life.  Hopefully it will help stave off surgery #3 though.

Finally, Jae and I did a booze and cupcakes night.  I had been promising to bring some to work and Jae has wanted to do cupcakes together for a while.  For once our roles were switched and he was the one making a mess instead of me. XD Unlike him, though, I wasn’t making fun of him about it (like he would to me) because I am a nice girlfriend.  Below is a picture of one of my fancy-ass cupcakes!

Well long story short, I ended up signing up and will be sharing a table witg my friend Sam. Steve was saying he hoped we’d get a few more people attending because Wondercon moved this year and I think his prediction is correct.

Anyways, more updates coming soon but I am very excited!

The first thing I noticed is that it was small. VERY small! You know I liked it though. It was very reminiscent of how calm and laid back APE used to be. Lots of awesome folks who were obviously just there because they loved comics.
Awesomely, a couple familiar faces were there as well! Sam Garland, who is an excellent comic maker was there to showboat his awesome stuff.  Elle Skinner, a person I seem to have developed a friendship with through conventions alone was also there!  It was awesome to see her and we actually ended up doing a sketch trade.  Last but not least, I met a wonderful colorist named Christina Strain who had an awesome art book for sale.  If you get the chance, you should really go check her out.

I met a slew of other awesome artists who, surprisingly, weren’t part of the normal Artists Alley circuit which was great for meeting some new talent.   All in all, the convention was great and I even found some places to leave some post cards!
