APE aftermath

After a few days of recovery after APE, I'm still unable to do a proper round-up. Why? Because it's as awesome as it always is. Not much else to report beyond that. So rather than take my lack of enthusiasm as any negative reaction to the con, I'll just do a link dump:

The Daily Crosshatch pt.1 and pt.2
Ian Brill's PW coverage
Bryan Lee O'Malley's food journal
Fart Party's pt.1 and pt.2
Brent Warnock's wrap-up

To ensure this isn't total waste of data space, I can say that for the first time we felt popular. Bryan Lee O'Malley and Hope Larson both recognized us. The Hot Mexican Love Comics guys both thanked me for the review last year and criticized my dismissal of the low rider story as "standard fare." I've never been asked to justify my opinion, particularly to the artist, so that was an awkward moment for me. We ran into Sophie from Gumpop, which was as pleasant this year as it was last year, despite some overt fangirling over a sketch that Hope did for her.

Oh Serene, don't feel awkward, we LOVE you. That's what our comic is all about... SHARING the LOVE!

It was a treat to see you again in person. I hope you enjoyed our classic issue of HMLC #2 (which is now 10 years old), I'm sure you can see how we have improved with age. And be sure to keep your eyes open for HMLC 2007, the gestational period is almost complete.

muchos besos,
Senor Ira & the Love Banditos
