Appearance update: No more Calgary; Emerald City instead
So, we can't make it to the Calgary Expo. Sorry! We have promised to come in 2009 to make up for it.

Good news: the Calgary Expo is friendly with Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle, and we're going there instead! That's May 10-11, and it'll be my first time in Seattle. Hoping to also visit Portland while we're at it.

I don't like talking about my "personal life" on here, but I will try to explain in as few sentences as possible. (1) We moved away from Nova Scotia. (2) We moved to Asheville, North Carolina, USA, Hope's hometown. (3) I am immigrating to the U.S. (you know, so I can live here legally), and am not supposed to leave the country until that's done. (4) It was supposed to be done before Calgary, but these things can drag.

Please do come visit Portland! There are a lot of people here who'd like to see you. Who might even put together some kind of party in your honor, in fact.

So, so excited to see you guys in my hometown!

Bummer about Calgary and immigration issues, but Uwajimaya here in Seattle and Powell's in Portland will more than make up for it. For serious.

Um . . . Any con with "dragon" in the name sounds like a bad fit for us.

At heart, it's a giant fantasy sci-fi gaming con, but it's grown way beyond just that. I think attendance is over 40,000 now. The comics track is a million times better than it was a few years ago. They had a really good mix of genres last year. I think both of you would do well. A certain title of Bryan's would be right up their alley. There's a form on the site to request to be a guest.

It's worth going at least once just to people watch, whether you have a table or not.

Try to sell stuff? That's about all that happens at a con, in my experience. Not that I'm recommending it...

But why go out of my way to try and sell stuff to people who don't care and who are busy dressing up as elves?

Sorry to stereotype, but... I don't get it. I have enough of a travel schedule going to places where people want me.

word on the street is that it's offical.
I think corey forgot that we live in a shoebox.

The important thing is that during these Emerald city cons they sell the worlds grossest cream cheeze filled hot dogs across the street.
I will see you there.

Those cream cheese hot dogs are the only thing Seattle can claim besides Blue Scholars, Nirvana, and US.
