mercuryeric. I'll have some books to sell, stories to tell, and if it goes well, all will be swell.I'm very sorry about that last sentence, and I beg your immediate forgiveness.
There's a DC Nation panel on Saturday, from 1 to 2 pm in "Panel Room A," which I suspect I'll be asked to sit on. Dan DiDio is out for the show this year, so if nothing else, he'll be endlessly entertaining as he frustrates fans. As for my part, I've actually got no idea if I'll be up there, because just about everything I'm doing for DC is still under information embargo at the moment, which inevitably leads to me repeating, over and over again, "I can't answer that." So maybe I'll be the one who's endlessly frustrating.
Oni Press will be well-represented at the show, as well, and Sunday from 11 to 12, again in "Panel Room A," they'll be having their Quiz Show. Apparently, I'm on that as well, along with Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley, and Jennfer Van Meter, who, for those of you who still haven't figured it out, is the same Jen from Paragraph One, above. Bryan's very talented wife, Hope Larson, will be at the show, as well.
I like this show; Jim Demonakos has done a terrific job with it, and it's one of my favorite of the circuit, one of the few I actually get excited about attending every year. The Portland Crowd tends to be pretty thick in attendance, as well, including most -- if not all -- of the Periscope Studio crew. I'll also get to see Matthew Southworth, which is great, because Stumptown is inching its way ever-closer to a release; we're hoping for the first issue in September.
Work is continuing apace. The novel has reached a crossroads. Should know which direction I'm taking it in the next two days, and once that's decided, then it's just a matter of typing the draft as fast as I can. I'm running about two weeks behind (according to my personal schedule), and I'm eager to make it up, as other work (primarily comics works) is back-burnered for the time being.
Philip Tan -- who will also be at the show this weekend! -- is continuing to deliver amazing pages on FC:R. I get leery of posting stuff without permission, but if you've checked out his blog, you can see some of his work-in-progress.

I'd like to say hello to you and Gail at the very least.
In fact, disclaim the audience first: "If at any point I'm asked something I can't talk about, I won't say so, I'll just lie. I won't tell you that I'm lying, I'll just make something up and pretend it's the answer. You're going to have to guess which things are lies and which are truths."
Could keep message board chatter busy for weeks!
*punch*
And by the way, you bastard...let me tell you how many times the phrase "Helmets, Greg! It'll be grrreat!" has popped into my head at bizarre times, your well-impersonated accent completely intact.
It was HILARIOUS.
Ahem.

Like this.

Dear Sir,
I would pay cold hard cash to see you at a panel and say nothing but "I can neither confirm nor deny" for an hour straight. Politics is obviously your true calling.
Please let me know when you decide to run for office, as I will be immediately offering my services as your campaign manager.
Sincerely,
A Devoted Fan
Tan's art under that link? AMAZING. WOW.
Of course, at the same time, he should be giving smouldering come hither looks at any editors present. Just to confuse the issue, of course.
I'd suck at politics. I'm not very good at not saying what I mean.

...Oh, wait, you were serious?

KIDDING! I'm KIDDING!

If you see a fat guy in a cheap Star Trek uniform get up to ask a question during the DC panel, look out!

Someday, man, I want to be that guy.
I think I'm up to it.

I am making a statement!
