NYCC is on like Donkey Kong!

I just booked my flight for a trip to the New York Comic Convention in April. For about two weeks now, my credit card wouldn't work with the company I was trying to book the flight with, so trying another company, it worked -- and I got a cheaper offer!

For some reason, Delta must have dropped the prices by 150 Euros in the last two days, and in addition to that, http://www.mcflight.de apparently bought in bulk and could offer it cheaper.

CB and I will be rooming with Matt Dembicki, Mikie Woods, and another dude who's name I forgot. We already booked the room at the New Yorker last week, which is 3 blocks from the convention center.

I'll be staying with friends for a few days and then at the hotel with the gang during the show. All for roughly 500 Euros. It shall be glorious!

Well there you go! And by the way. Could you do me a favor? When you're there, hunt down Ed Brubaker and tell him I would sacrifice my firstborn for him :-D

You wanna know what the word is? The word is CREEPY! :P

That's something you better tell him yourself. I killed my inner fanboy a long time ago, probably in its infancy, actually. ;)

"Creepy" is my middle name, my friend :-D And as comic creator you should know, that "inner fanboys" never stay dead. It's just a "stunt" your mind plays on you. But one day, when you least expect it, you'll turn around and there he'll be. Staring at you and laughing.

Unless Wilhelm Busch comes back from the dead, the chances of me geeking out in front of another creator are pretty slim. And even then, I might just run in horror because the zombie apocalypse will have started! :)

Don't make jokes about zombie apocalypses :-0 That really scares the living sh** out of me :-D

As far as geeking out in front of creators: I'll definately will do so in front of you, once you get to write a really good run of Elektra. Mark my words :-D
