More Thursday

- I bumped into Walter Koenig. At least I'm pretty sure it was him.

- Hit the Pitching panel with Mark Waid, James Lucas Jones, and some other editors. Mark Waid wants to crush your soul. Not really. Good panel, and a good splash of reality.

- Attended the excellent Graphic Novels panel moderated by Larry Young. Matt Silady's DIY sensibility is inspiring. Just make your stupid comic book and screw everything else. Just do your thing, and get better at doing your thing. It served as the counterpunch to the "You're Screwed" sentiment at the Pitching panel. Pretty much everyone on the panel was making comics because someone forgot to tell them not to. Gotta pick up the Homeless Channel now, the dude was just so refreshingly upbeat about comics.

That was Thursday. I went to the hotel, ate, and slept.
