The Good: Gafilk was absolutely amazing. Everyone was so nice, and the convention was so awesome. Big, big thanks go out to my last-minute backing band, which assembled at the eleventh hour to make sure I wouldn't spend the entire weekend sitting at the bottom of a deep pit of suck. My concert went well, my Interfilk donations raised a lot of ( Read more... )

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I will not be attending this year's OVFF.

I am fairly shattered about this, and would really appreciate not being poked with the sharp sharp sticks of pokey sharpness.

10. Alice-short for Alice Price-Healy Little Liddel Abernathy McGuire-is six months old today, finally making the transition from "age measured in weeks" to "age measured in months."

First, the strip:

With Friends Like These... #77: Waterfowl Fail.

Second, the footnotes:

I'm going to be the Music Guest of Honor at Duckon 2009! Which was a great excuse to draw lots and lots of duckies.

Also, I really like the facial expressions in this one.

Now, y'all may remember that I've been invited to appear at Duckon 2009 as their Filk Guest of Honor. Everybody dance! (Can I just footnote that the fact that I've been asked to be anything of honor at a convention that has a Mad Scientist of Honor is so far beyond amazing that it squeaks? Because dude.) Duckon is in Naperville, Illinois, which ( Read more... )
