Too bad I can't get out to San Diego because the Fairport Convention question has been burning in my mind.

I joked to Spurgeon today that I hoped we aren't the only two people there.

Kelly Kilmer said...

What booth will you be at during Comic Con?-thanks!

If there are only three people there, I say we skip it and go hit a bar.

I won' be at any one booth, though I'll do a couple of book signings and I'll let you know where and when.

Tom Racine said...

I'll be there stalking....I mean seeing you there. After our interview on the 21st, of course. :) Do you have your anti-Pastis armor ready?

ACK!! ! my kids use to go every year when we lived just up the coast in Laguna. Now that I've moved away your there. . .
Even I would have braved Comic Con for your book signing.

There will be a a-lot more than 3 people.

Good Luck !

Kid Shay said...

yay! I'll be there.

Miyazaki.

You lucky bastard.

it's not like I'll get within a mile of him...

Mike said...

I'd like to see the Venn diagram of people who go to Comic Con and people who know Fairport Convention. Though I'll admit that when I first saw the Almanac, I thought, "Man, that guy does EVERYTHING!"

mark coale said...

I'm actually seeing Miyazaki in Berkeley on saturday. Only 1 daya of the con for me. Avoid the twilighters at all costs.

i hope that panel will be taped/filmed I'd be interested in hearing what you all have to say about syndication.

Jesse Cline said...

I'm seriously considering going to this. You and Stephan are two or my heroes.

Mike Rhode said...

Richard says, "Syndication be damned! The art is what matters!" At least when he's been drinking.

Jesse Cline said...
