Got our tickets! Well, our reservations for a room.
Right. We've made hotel bookings for a nearby hotel, and are now set to go to the New England Webcomics Weekend. We'd go through and register for the event but... well, it's a no-registration event. Regardless, it'll be pretty cool to meet some of these folks in the flesh. (I'm in particular hoping to meet the folks who helped me propose to Wednesday. I owe them big time.)
I also figure Weds and I can get drunk with Xaviar Xerexes and Gary Tyrrell -- the cute one and Ringo, respectively, of webcomics commentary. Granted, no one's coming to see us -- we're all just attending this shindig the same as anyone else -- but it'll be fun to compare professional notes. ("Wow -- you write your stuff on a computer too? Awesome!")
Mostly, I figure it'll be fun to say "dude" to people, touch David Willis on the forehead while I listen to him excitedly talk about Superbook with Weds, and maybe finally give Jon Rosenberg the scotch I've been meaning to give him for close to five years.
