kelly | March 27, 2011

Tiny Intro: this is one of (hopefully) several bits of recaps from my experiences at the 2011 Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo. Most of this was written on the train home. The rest has been tweaked a week or so later as I found a bit of time to post things.

If the second half of 2010 had a theme, it was Challenge is the New Black. A couple of months ago something snapped and [...]

The cat’s out of the bag! Starting November 2nd, I’ll be a part-time employee back at infuz. Yes, that’s right. infuz.
What’s that you say? You have some concerns? I know. We all did. But don’t worry. It’s not going to be like last time.
