At least I think that's Fábio-- his twin brother Gabriel Bá was sporting a beard, as I recall. That’s (left-to-right) Becky Cloonan, Vasilis Lolos, and Fábio Moon.

Go me. If the Con moved, would they closed San Diego? Isn't that why they opened San Diego? If the Con closed, they'd have to get that cop from South Park to stand around and say, "Nothing to see here folks." Or is he in The Simpsons? I figured out BLARD. Go me.

Or activate your network of informants, set up a special email box accessible from your WiPhone, and scan nonchalantly while in the ladies room or in line at Ralph's. The PW Crew did a great job of reporting! Almost as good as being there! One suggestion, for the BLARD debriefing later in the week:

Everyone knows it’s too big and too crowded and too frantic. Everyone just goes with their own little flow now.</blockquote> This was a great little passage, Heidi. Of all the stuff I've seen about the Con over the years, this one made me feel for one moment like I knew something about what happens there. What do you mean by your own viral marketing campaign? Did I miss this? I thought I was a loyal Beatizen? Have I been skimming excessively? I also find that I don't really know what you mean by B.L.A.R.D., so maybe I am just not paying attention well enough. Sit me in the back of the classroom.
