Ape Ape
Drove up to San Francisco for the Alternative Press Expo this weekend and had a great time. I got to see my old friends Paul and Cecelia, my new friends DerShing and Johane, and a lot of very talented, interesting, and friendly people. I made a little comic about Elise and caffeine that I left on the freebie table and traded with people. I think I will try to do one every year-- it was fun, relatively easy, and the next best thing to money at APE, since you can trade comics with people.
Highs:
Meeting with DS! I gave her the original of the sketch I made for her birthday, and she gave me the originals of some character arts that she did for me earlier this year. Boy, did she get the short end of that deal. ^^ Check out her sweet web site.
Meeting with Johane! She was just a regular attendee this time instead of managing a table, so it was great to chat without the stress or distraction.
Running into my old college friend Cecelia, who had the brilliant idea of making a 45 minute DVD of kittens playing, which was selling like hotcakes.
Much, the Miller's Son, which was the best bargain of the convention, a top-notch european style comedy of errors for only five bucks.
Brittney Lee's impossibly lovely prints of Hawaiian gods and goddesses. I intended only to buy two, as I don't have much wall space left, but ended up buying three of them because they were so damn good.
Supper with Rikki and Tavisha in LA on the way back home. I love you guys!
Lows:
There were no lows. It was rainy, but heck I love that. It was a very long drive, but the light and the sky were beautiful. 50 mpg in the Prius doesn't hurt either.
