BALTIMORE, HERE I COME
BALTIMORE, HERE I COME
This has been a really insane week because I need to get all work done before I head off to the Baltimore Comics Convention. I’ve been there before and the guys put on a great con, and it’s pretty much all about comics only. If you’re in the Maryland area, please come by. I guarantee you’ll be surprised at how good it is. And while you’re there, be sure to go down the block and visit the Geppi Entertainment Museum which features more comic book and comic strip art than you’ve probably ever seen in one place before. Also included is one incredible collection as well as other goodies that are definitely worth seeing.
I’m looking forward to the con not only for the fans, but my daughter, Jessica, is attending, too, so we get to spend a few days together. She lives on the east coast and I’m on the west, so we don’t see each other nearly as much as I’d like. So if you don’t see me at the con table 25/7 you’ll know I’m spending time with Jessie.
The other thing that’s taken up so much time is dealing with our never ending water crisis. First the main broke on my side of the meter so we had God knows how many hundreds of feet of pipe installed. That works great now. But as soon as that was done, the sprinkler pipes went out (all the pipes were of the same age so it’s not surprising). Unfortunately, a long box of comics were destroyed in the flooding, and they were books I wrote. Pretty valuable ones, but fortunately only one box. It could have been much worse had we not just happened to venture outside to see the water flooding out from under the garage door. But as I’m going to Baltimore later, I hope I can begin to replace some of them. Bobby the plumber came earlier today to check out the leak and will most likely begin repairs later this week. Bobby did a spectacular job getting water to my house last week, now I’m hoping he can do the same for my backyard.
I won’t be blogging again til next week. Take care.
