Just Got Back from SPX Day One
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on October 12, 2007 - 21:05
I'm only doing one day of SPX this year (today) which is too bad because it was chockfull of cool people and good comics. I just got home from spending the afternoon there and I'll have a more "formal" (yes I'm making the air quote with my fingers in my head as I write that word) convention report later this weekend but I thought I'd do a quick post right now.
Join me in "read more" land if you dare!
