Diana, Grace and I decided to go on a weekend trip to Austin this weekend, in part to go to STAPLE. It is a small press/independent media expo that features comic book and I was extremely interested in going to see a couple of my favorite creators, Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener. They created Atomic Robo, which is one of the best comics out there.
We drove in to Austin on Saturday and went straight to the center the show was being held at. I wasn't expecting to spend a lot of time there, and after about an hour and a half, we were done. I hit the Atomic Robo table first and cleaned up with a bunch of stuff. A couple of trades, a free comic, some autographs, and this awesome sketch.
We then went walking around as there were a few books I wanted to pick up. I got,

and I got this funny shirt.
Diana was happy that we didn't stay for hours and hours and I had a good time. Gracie was a big hit once we got her out of the stroller. She wouldn't stop gibber-jabbering and people were eating it up. This was her first(of many) cons and it was a great way to get her started on them.
That is all,
Newt

It's been awhile! I wish I could come up with something snarky to say- Snark thy name is Lola- but all I can think about is the fact that you have such a nice family.
