[...] at least it’s not Too Damn Hot, which is a recurring theme in the discussion of the just-concluded MoCCA ‘09 which we will now mention for (promise!) the last time. Short form: yes, the fact [...]

Meanwhile, speaking of conventions, there’s IGN’s contest for a trip to Comic-Com – only open to men age 18-24: http://microsites.ign.com/d9/ Anyone know why they’re excluding entries from women and people age 25+?

It was a good time. I was kind of surprised to see so many complaints — although having to be in the building all day both days was probably a lot harder than what I did.

And Side B is on the review stack, yes. Glad to know you’re looking forward to hearing about it!

Sounds like a good time, despite the heat. I found French Milk through the library a few days after your review, and as a result I’m now a big Lucy Knisley fan, too, and am looking forward to more of her work.

Please post a review of Side B when your done with it. The publisher sent me a review copy of the previous volume, Side A (one of the few review copies I’ve ever been sent… I felt so important when the mail came that day!), and I really liked it, so I’ve been anxious to hear about the new one.
