i am too tired to use the shift key for capitalization. also might skip some punctuation.

AM: slept in a little (up until almost 4 AM due to late-night Iron Man screening)

remembered about burgers - consulted Adam & Jared and decided to go to Apple Pan. bonus: it's right near the Hyatt.

Apple Pan hickory burger and fries for breakfast.

kept me full all day. no lie. 11 AM to 5 PM, i didn't even have a hunger pang. i usually need to have like 2 snacks in that period.

12-2 PM: went to Meltdown for comics. stuck in traffic for a while on the way. procured Dororo Vol 1, Ganges #2, and The Education of Hopey Glass

spotted a Dick Blick's (on Beverly) and stopped in for some art stuff. not a wide range of art supply shops in Asheville. got a new triangle, a circle template thingy, cute japanese watercolor sketchbook, some pens for Hope.

2-3:30 PM: secret

3:30-5 PM: mostly stuck in traffic. came back to room, checked email, no time to blog, ran back out, stuck in traffic...

5-7 PM: meeting at Universal (see pic). topic: secret. i think this was my first Meeting with a capital M. strangely, it involved eating cake, and was pretty laid back. I don't think it was a "typical" meeting.

8-11 PM: farewell dinner - I'm heading home first thing tomorrow, and the Big Talk folks are trickling back to London over the weekend. special guests: secret.

now: unable to support weight of giant head. flopping around like giant baby.

may blog a bit tomorrow on my layover if i see anything interesting.
