Woke up to the dulcet tones of some sort of homeless man turf warm outside the window, happy to have not been stabbed in the night Checked the door lock mechanism for signs of tamper/stress, found none, heaved a sigh of relief and got ready for the day.

Got in a minor fight with a taxi cab driver and stomped off to Starbucks for some breakfast. After breakfast we went down to the convention center, the girls broke off from us to go do some sort of girl thing, and Adam and I went to artist alley and caught up with Zander Cannon and Ryan Kelly.

Adam made a sketch a couple of months back featuring Mark Waid and Waid saw it and made a donation to the hero initiative for it so we dropped it by the Boom! Studios booth. Waid is a super nice guy and invited us to the Boom! Studios drink up at the Hyatt later in the evening.

We saw most of the editors we needed to, but only in passing and we hit some panels the highlight of which was the Mad Science panel hosted by Phil Plait. I drooled a bit over the Strontium Dog collected editions at the 2000 A.D. booth, I think I’ll pick up a few.

We ditched the con and went to meet up with the girls who were bouncing back and forth between different True Blood after parties.

Hit the Boom! Studios drink up and then caught a cab ride back to the hotel, no fight this time, in fact the cab driver was a pretty great guy. Took a much deserved shower and now its off to bed. We’ve taken to sleeping in shifts so one of us can stay awake to stoke the fire and keep the darkness at bay.
