Yeah, though I'm feeling better. Thanks!

Also, I hope you post about the stuff happening at Comic Con. I'm curious since it's in my neighborhood and I've run into so many interestingly garbed people! If you happen to be going today, you'd be welcome to stop by for some tea before or after. :)

I will definitely be posting something soon (I'm still processing its awesomeness), complete with pictures! And sadly I won't be going today... but I am going to see one of my favorite musicals, so I call it even. :)

Wow, awesome convention + favorite musical in one weekend! Have fun!
