Geeks In SPAAAAAACCCCEEEEE!!!! (Thank you, Mr. Hensen)
Well, boppers, it's that time of year again. For me at least. The convention season is upon me. My first appearance for this year will be at SPACE along with almost every member of the Orange Tablecloth Front. If you have no idea what SPACE is, this must be your first time on this blog. If this is your first time on this blog, what are you still doing reading this? You're not likely to find any Asian porn, so move along. But, to those of you gentleboppers cool enough to frequent my lil' ol' blog, you know the score. This year, SPACE is May 6th and I can't wait. I met a lot of cool people there and I can't wait to see them again.
Following SPACE, yours truly will be at Detroit at the Motorcity Coicon on May 20th. I'm only attending that one as a fan, which is a first.
For those of you dying to know what's going on with Up Jumped the Devil, look for it's very own blog, which will be listed along with all my other links. Tentatively, it's titled "Down With Mr. Brown," but that may change.
My buddy Nik ran this particular questionaire over at his blog, aptly titled The Good, the Blog & the Ugly and I felt compelled to do likewise. He's right, it's a total blog-type thing to do, but here goes:
1. What time did you get up this morning? Roughly 6:30
2. Diamonds or pearls? Diamonds are a girl's best friend and man's best friend is a dog. I've had more good dogs than diamonds.
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? "Bruce Almighty," I think. I don't go to the movies much. Ray Bradbury was right. Home entertainment is creating a world of isolationists.
4. What is your favorite TV show? "Robot Chicken" or "Squidbillies." I can't make that kinda choice.
5. What did you have for breakfast? I think it was a doughnut. Whatever it was, it was partially hydroginated and I say if your gonna hydroginate something, only do part of it.
6. What is your middle name? Trouble.
7. What is your favorite food? Probably burritos.
8. What foods do you dislike? Pizza. Yeah, I'm a communist, I know.
9. What is your favorite potato chip flavor? Uh, potato, maybe...?
10. What is your favorite CD at the moment? Either Franz Ferdinand or Thin Lizzy's "Vagabonds of the Western World."
11. What kind of car do you drive? None. I still think they're just a fad.
12. Favorite sandwich? Anything with bacon & swiss on it.
13. Favorite item of clothing? Right now, it's my Sgt. Rock T-shirt.
14. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation where would you go? Sweden or Indy. I got friends in both places.
15. What color is your bathroom? Crayon.
16. Favorite brand of clothing? None.
17. Where would you retire to? Sweden, but I suppose should vacation there first, huh?
18. Favorite time of the day? Any time I can spend working on comics.
19. What was your most memorable birthday? My last one. I've seen pictures, so I'm sure I had fun.
20. Where were you born? Hell's Creation, IN
21. Favorite sport to watch? I hate sports.
22. What fabric detergent do you use? Whatever's on sale.
23. Coke or Pepsi? Hawaiian Punch.
24. Are you a morning person or a night owl? I rarely sleep.
25. What is your shoe size? 11
26. Do you have any animals? No, just kids.
27. Any exciting news to share with family and friends? I quit my job to work on comics full time. Is that big enough?
28. What did you want to be when you were little? The Bionic Man.
29. What is your favorite flower? Martha White (Thanks, dad).

No pictures this time, boppers. I'll make it up to you next time. Peace out (yeah, I know I said it).
