Houston, here I come!

I am heading to Houston for Comicpalooza this weekend! If you're in H-Town, you should come out to the George R. Brown Convention Center, because it will be awesome.

And it will be INDOORS. My weather app is reading 99 degrees in the motherland right now.

I'll be participating in the Literature and Gaming tracks. Here's the plan:
