I unashamedly played hooky from posting in Seattle to hang out with friends and eat Molly Moon's ice cream (Cherry Chunk, omnomnom) and yesterday to wander the floor at San Diego Comic-Con on the (well, comparatively) uncrowded Thursday.

She is due in ( Read more... )

I have been home this weekend recovering from the first leg of the tour before they ship me out again tomorrow, and just wanted to wave hi to all of you I've had a chance to meet, and share some glee. :D
