Emerald City Comicon is almost upon us. We love comic conventions, not only because we get to meet fans and introduce ourselves to folks but because we get to meet our favorite cartoonists, many of whom have become our friends. Later we will meet in a secret cartoonist cabal and divide the world between us. We are shooting for Switzerland, because it's so nice and clean.

Meanwhile we've got a booth. At past conferences folks have complained that we're not at our booth when they come by, so we're going to start posting hours when we are absolutely, positively, guaranteed to be there. In this case they are:

Saturday 1-3pm
Sunday 1-3pm

I know, it's not much to promise. We'll probably be there a lot more often, especially Bill. And our fabulous store manager Jana will be there selling stuff the entire time.

Also, I will be part of the "Business of Webcomics" panel at 4:00pm on Sunday. I can't promise I have any great wisdom to impart, but I have been doing this for five years so I should at least be able to tell you what not to do.
