So the con went by in a congested-dizzy-blur. Why you ask? Wifey, the baby and I are sick--yeah, again. I think the oldest one has developed a super immune system, since she was the only one healthy. It was fun having the clan there. The kids had a blast, which was great considering this was their first con. The older one did have a spill. We though she might have sprained her wrist, but of course by the time we finished packing up the car she was fine. Kids On day two, the older one decided to see what would happen if you stab a straw into a large green balloon. The pop was more like a blam. The whole con stopped for a split second. Afterwords she ran to mommy. Cameron Stewart gave a replacement balloon--(Thanks dude!). She was her smiling self again. Unfortunately everyone was too sick to remember that we brought the camera with us, so no pics. Sorry.

As some of you might know, I'm a nominee for the 2008 Joe Shuster 's Outstanding Canadian Comic Book Writer award, and still am. Heh. Before the awards ceremony they held their first annual Sequential Arts Symposium, where I had a great time seeing old friends and making some new ones. I was also on the Writing for Sequential Art panel , which I hope I gave some useful information throughout my bantering. After the symposium I went for dinner with friends. Francis Manapul led us on a death march to a nice Italian restaurant. (I'm kidding, it was a nice walk) Who knew that there was a street festival that day? Here are some photos from this wonderful event that I blast at. Here I am with Josh Stafford. We're co-creating and writing a zombie book. Hey look, what is that I'm holding up? Mmmm...brains... We debated if we should eat here. (Read the sign on the restaurant window.) Yeah, that's Francis putting on high heels. Can this be the secret to his awesome art sk...

This was fun interview where I talk about the shop I hang out at, writing stuff and God knows what weird things they got me to spill. Here's the link to the interview: Comic Brew
