There's no cellular reception in the ballroom where the Eisner Awards are being presented at the moment. Not a lot of oxygen, either. Which explains why I'm outside on a bench overlooking the water.
My panel-free day was exhausting. I'd forgotten that one of the reasons I started hosting all them panels at cons was that I get bored sitting at a table all day signing my name and it's hard on the feet to wander about on concrete floors for four days. The noise level can get to you as well. I heard Tijuana has been calling to complain about the noise.
Did some interviews. Had some business-type meetings. My meals bookended my relationships: I had lunch with my first girl friend…first time I've seen her since 1972. Then dinner was to celebrate the birthday of the current light of my existence, Carolyn Kelly.
