I do not have a photo of the 20 pounds of books I sent home earlier on day one, nor do I have a photo of the many books I ended up getting on the last day. One day, but I also feel the books being both already published and Galleys/ARCs will slowly just be on the shelves. I do want to note that the new Joe Hill, which I scored an ARE before leaving the show is epic not just in concept but also in size.

There’s something really intriguing about an expo/convention when everything is gone from the shelves and its quiet and about to be fully broken down.

Also I hugged a Herobear.

A story about Brotherly Love, PA: This awesome hat for Ma Lessie’s caught my eye as I was on line to buy some ACTUAL fried chicken & waffles. I wanted to buy one but they only had it in black. The chef gave me the hat off his head, no charge, even after I offered. Amazing. The food was also amazing and I must come back sometime sooner than later. Maybe in September.
