Two memorable things happened to me this Saturday. Memorable Thing #1: Terry Brooks emailed me!!! Let me explain why this is cool...

Last weekend, I attended New York Comic Con, the second largest pop culture conference in the country. The exhibit hall spanned the bulk of the Javits Center in NYC and included booths specializing in books, comic books, graphic novels, manga, movies, anime, TV, and video games. I loved it. I was there for three days, and I never did manage to walk down all the aisles. This actually has less to do...
