I rolled in from Texas at midnight last night. I’m pretty sure I went to work today, and I know I spent the evening unpacking and putting stuff away and looking at all the neato comics I bought or traded for. Texas was great — really warm and nice, especially considering I came home to 40F weather starting with rain, progressing to purple thunderheads and 50mph bluster, then sun, then rainbows and finally, snow. I am not making this up; Michigan’s November was at its schizophrenic best. So yeah, trotting around in my shirtsleeves for the weekend was pretty darn pleasant.

My hosts were Jeff and Tracy — two of my earliest fans — and gracious hosts they were. I was cooked for, provided with tasty food and drink and ferried around the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Jeff and Tracy were first introduced to Vogelein by Jeremy Shorr, co-owner of Titan Comics and my travel co-ordinator.

So without further ado, let’s get to the pictures!

So yeah! All in all a really great trip. I apologise that I didn’t get photos of all the ArtLoveMagickers, including Josh Boulet, who I sat next to (Sorry Josh, I suck) but things got a little crazy. Thanks again to Jeff and Tracy and Jeremy and Cecilia for making it such a great trip and for hosting me. I hope everyone had as great a time as I did!
