Bell-Con 2008 After-Action Report
Jerwa and I made the trek north to Bellingham, Wa., where we were guests of Bell-Con.

It's a pleasant enough show, small but well-attended; the hosts were quite nice and friendly. Not a great show for us, alas. Definitely more of an "indy" crowd, and both Jerwa and I had a table full of material that was about as mainstream as the show got.

Still, got to shoot the breeze with Jerwa for a rather extended period, which is always nice, so there's that.

Oh, and the Bellingham Herald has a bit on it, and mentions both me and my cowriter "Brenden Jerwad" which I assume refers to Brandon. I hope. Or else I REALLY need to lay off the scotch.

Also got to visit with Neal Bailey (of the Superman Homepage fame) and the lovely Kristen, as well as some "regulars," including a rather charming young woman who has been having creators sign her leather jacket, and a fellow named Eric who has stopped by to say "hi" at just about every signing I've ever done.

All in all, not really a financially viable trip, but an entertaining one.

Man, I really need to check out this so called "Check Mate".

It sounds like something an Australian asks for when he's ready to pay for his dinner.

Jerwad. Now that's catchy! Is it an action word? I don't know! But it sounds like something cool. I'm gonna say its definition is: A massive roll of cash wrapped in a green, but so tight its white, rubber band? That about right?

...no. No, it isn't.

It's, in fact, WRONG, on a truly staggering number of levels. :)

Sorry I couldn't make it, money and all that. Consider me at your next appearance. Which will be in your office, where I will bug you about nerdy things.
