There's a few conventions I've been meaning to get to; I think I've said I was going to MAGFest a few times. I will someday. People seem to bloom when they talk about it, and I'd like to get some of that.

There's two new Welcome To PAX Shows up, one for Cosplay and one about For The Watch, which is something I'd love to do again. But I'm also putting together something else with Josh that I just need to think about out…
