So I managed to wrangle myself up a ticket to SDCC, but it was rather last-minute and now it looks like there are no hotel rooms left. So if anyone has an extra spot (I'm not picky, I have slept on floors before), or knows someone who does, I would be eternally grateful, and of course would pay my share of the room costs. Hit me up, brendanhykes@gmail.com, or on twitter @BrendanHykes.
Thanks guys!
Edit: Looks like I have a room, thanks!

Post Heroes Con
So Heroes Con was awesome, had a great time, got to hang out with some awesome people. I got a lot of positive reaction to the books, so thanks to those of you who stopped by, it was great to meet you.
Like I said, I got to meet a ton of cool people, including some incredibly talented artists and writers. I got to meet Beck Cloonan (yay!), though I may have creeped her out a bit because of how nervous I was (sorry!). I had some interesting conversations with Mark Sable and Paul Azaceta, writer and artist respectively on Graveyard of Empires. I also got to chat with Steve Seeley, one of the creators of Hoax Hunters. Chris Warton, creator of the book Giant, which is an awesome all-ages story, was at the table next to me, and was super-cool. And the next table down was Jeremy Whitley (Princeless), Dave Foland and Jason Struts, who were all kind enough to let me tag along with them after the con, thus saving me from a night eating pizza in my hotel room.
Speaking of, a big shout-out to the Econo-Lodge, the cheapest hotel in the Charlotte area whose reviews didn't mention hookers or drug dealers (seriously, it was a running theme, wtf Charlotte?). And, as promised (or rather not promised), there were neither hookers nor drug dealers (that I saw).
All in all, I had a fantastic time. Charlotte is a lovely city and everyone I met was incredibly nice and friendly. So thanks to everyone!
That is all.

Heroes Con!
so I'm in North Carolina now, getting all ready for Heroes Con! Just drove 7 hours straight, so I'm a bit wonky at the moment. Thinking I'll grab some dinner, maybe a drink or two, and try to hit the sack. Have to get up early tomorrow to set up my table!
Just a short one this time, lots to do!

Heroes this Weekend
Getting everything lined up for Heroes Con, coming down to the wire and I may, unbelievably, pull it all off. Files have been shipped to the printers, hopefully there will be no problems there.
If you're in the area, I will be at Artist Alley table AA-723. I will have copies of Anonymous Nancy issue 1, I will also be giving out a short, 5-page preview of Lunatic Fringe, and I will have Lunatic Fringe posters on sale as well. So stop by and see me!
In other news, I've started on the final script for Anonymous Nancy issue 2, and I'm also talking to a guy about a thing. I'm putting together a pitch package for another project, so we'll see how that goes. Figure I'll just dive right in.
So that's about all I have right now, going to be a hectic week, I know that much. Sleep deprivation here I come!
