Oh man, SPX!
I just got back from Maryland this weekend, and the Small Press Expo is a pretty great show! Met a lot of nice people, handed out some new minis, and I picked up Lifemeter 3, which I mentioned before as containing a submission of mine and one of my friends. It’s a REALLY nice book full of some great stuff, so pick it up as soon as it becomes available here! Other than that, I got to sit in on the Ignatz Awards, which are not only awesome because the awards are bricks and the presentation is great, but also because afterwards there was a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN and i dipped a Beef Wellington in it and oh man it was so good even though that sounds gross. 
Needless to say I will definitely attend again next year, barring any unforeseen mishaps with polar bears and farming equipment.

Man, you were at SPX? I’m pretty sure Aaron Diaz was there. You could’ve been within breathing distance of the world’s most overeducated college dropout. Yeah.
I think when I eventually end up going to some convention/expo, SPX is going to be on the top of my list. It’s like, all the cool people go there.

He was there, I talked to him for a few minutes actually.
And yeah, SPX is definitely one of the better cons I’ve been to. It lacks all the horrifying stenches of a regular comic-con.
