Out of the Emerald City

It was great to visit Seattle and see the folks who attended! Thanks for coming and bringing your families and your books and your hearty smiles and hellos. I had a great time, and hope you did too. I signed a book for Ambassador Kosh (above), which was very nice, as this now widens the scope of my work’s outreach by several billion light-years.

I also presented my True Stuff From Old Books slideshow again, and I thought it went gangbusters! I made a few tweaks and got some definite ideas for ways to improve it even further, next time. I’m really enjoying being A Guy Who Gives A Talk, because I’ve finally found something I can talk with some authority about that isn’t just “webcomics,” which plenty of other people are as good or much better at discussing.

I’m still planning out the ol’ calendar for the year, but at the moment it looks like I’ll be in New York next (April 9-10), then setting up shop in Los Angeles, Toronto, and Calgary later this spring. A few more things may pop up in between as well, just waiting on confirmations! But those are the four I know for certain so far.

Oh and I can’t say much yet, but there are rumblings of a Machine of Death event coming together soon. All I can say is, if you’re in the Los Angeles area and you have a talent…

…start practicing.
