WhatI It Means To Meet Them

This weekend I had the pleasure of joining my loving husband at our first Fan Expo in Toronto.  I'll be honest for the most part I was completely disappointed.  Between the complete lack of organization and surprising lack of organization, I spent the majority of the expo just following Jeff around the vendors floor.  But all of that didn't matter in the end because I had the extreme pleasure of attending the Q & A with Stan Lee, as well as the signing afterwards.  I have always looked up to him and while no I didn't totally mark over the meeting, I was incredibly impressed that he acknowledge our thank yous.  Also, even though he had a million more to do, he allowed Jeff to take a quick pic as he slide the autograph to the handler to hand to Jeff.  It was a dream come true.
I also really enjoyed the sketching duals between Steven McNiven and Ethan Van Sciver, and Doug Mahnke and Francis Manapul.   Jeff and I were told that these were the real gems of the expo and they absolutely are.  Ethan Van Sciver is hilarious, but listening to him, you could really tell how intelligent he is.  I was blown away by their brilliant talent.  I really want to go back through my comics to see if I have any of their work, just so I can better appreciate.

So Proud!

On Friday, my younger brother is graduating from B.A.S.H.A. in New Hampshire.  I'm so proud of him.  He has never been school friendly, but he found his passion and hasn't turned back.  Congratulations Phil!

Blows My Mind!

I don't want to use this blog to cause drama, but sometimes when I hear or see something that really bothers I feel the need to talk about it.  Today a friend of mine told me about something that her partner said/did that was just really heartbreaking and inconsiderate.  What he said/did is between them and that is not for me to  blog.  But I am just astounded by how inconsiderate he was and I cannot understand how anyone can be so inconsiderate to someone that they are supposed to love.  Mind you I cannot understand how people can be so inconsiderate as a whole.  There are times when we are all inconsiderate, but there is a difference between the small, unintended inconsiderations and those that really hurt people.  I really hope for the best for my friend.
