The trip down to Megacon was not without its problems this time, either... flight was delayed, certain connections failed to happen, and I had to perform a couple of mad dashes to certain rendezvous... but oh, man, was it worth it. Was it worth it.

1) Taped interviews with many of my personal heroes in comics (like George Perez and Marv Wolfman) for "Meanwhile: The Comics Podcast." This, by the way, is the first time I have ever taped anything anywhere for broadcast.
2) Taped a solid hour of Joe Quesada's panel for same.
3) Got interview commitments from Mark Waid and Barbara Kesel for same.
4) Made contact with two dozen potential sponsors for "Meanwhile: The Comics Podcast."
5) Made contact with several artists and inkers for upcoming projects.
6) Got to hang with old comrades in arms Steve Conley, John Gallagher and Mark Mekkes.
7) Successfully avoided Juan Navarro all weekend. Whew! (Seriously, big guy, sorry I missed you.)
8) Got to check out a webcomics panel with webcomics' new guard: Brian Clevinger, Tim Buckley, Scott Ramsoomair and Derrick Fish. Though it was at the end of the convention and the guys were tired and punchy, it was still a treat to see them given a panel when I know the Megacon of five years ago would have actively shunned them.
9) Bought a few good comics here and there.
10) Attended a writing panel with Marv and Barbara that reminded me of everything I needed to remember as I launch this next wave o' submissions...
11) Learned about ACTOR, the single worthiest cause I've discovered all year... aaaaand...
12) By the skin of my teeth, acquired a sketch the likes of which I have hoped to get all my adult life. I'll tell you more about that one... tomorrow.
