I had a lot of fun at WonderCon 2011! Why? Well…

#1. Shelagh joined me at the con. (No that’s not her above.) But Shelagh had such a great time that she’s willing to go back next year. Yippee!
(Of course, she also said she’d be happy to go back to San Francisco–even without the convention.)

I’ll be attending WonderCon 2011, but I won’t be in full (crazed) exhibition mode. I’m mostly going as an excuse to take Shelagh to San Francisco, see friends and have some fun. Some of that fun will be at the convention, though!
I’ll be selling some Last Kiss goodies (tote bags, prints and possibly fridge magnets) at the World Famous Comics (Booth #1140.) I’ll be at the booth much of Saturday and parts of Friday and Sunday.
There are some panels I want to attend. So here are some times I WON’T be at the booth:
Friday: I won’t be there on Friday: 3:15-5:45 p.m. And I’ll also be gone from 6:45 p.m. and later.
Saturday: 3:45-6 p.m. I’ll be gone.
Sunday: 2:15-3:45 p.m. I’ll be gone then too!
See you there–unless you don’t go. Or I’m gone.

Emerald City Comicon: March 4-6
I’m stoked up on caffeine right now, getting ready for Emerald City Comicon in Seattle. I’ll be at the Last Kiss booth (#412) Friday through Sunday. Plus, I’ll have special guests.
Joining me at the booth on Saturday and Sunday will be my pal Stasia Kato (The Virgin Project).
All day Saturday–and possibly for a bit on Sunday–I’ll also be sharing the booth with my long-time buddies Michael T. Gilbert (Mr. Monster, Disney Comics); and Janet Gilbert (Disney comics, Viz.)

I received many hilarious submissions for the latest Last Kiss dialog contest. But I had to choose just one entry. And so the winner is…
Johnny Lowe for the following:
Woman: What the hell is this?!
Man: Honey, it’s a MIRACLE! They said I’d never play ball again, but I’ve already made it to second base!
Congratulations, Johnny!
