[...] Other reports you must read! -Publisher’s Weekly Official Type Report -Matt Hawkins (tied for second place in the Cherry Tomato Competition and won first place in the “terrifying number of pictures where Colleen looks like she just sniffed glue”) -Pat Lewis (one of our roomies who had the FUNNIEST tale of the entire con which involved our room winding up with Tony Millionaire’s Ignatz for a night) -Klio (this one is TOLD IN SOCK PUPPETS!!!) -Jess Fink (who drew everyone she met including Fluff’s own Marianne Ways and myself) -Speaking of Marianne, you should read her report, which is somewhat similar to the Ghost one, since we stole ALL her pictures…muahahahaa! -The SPX Journey of Mini-Sir Ive -Liz Baillie’s Report -Robin Enrico’s Report -MK Reed’s Report [...]

I swear I didn’t sniff glue before any of these pictures…even if it looks that way.

That’s David Malki! (from Wondermark http://www.wondermark.com) who got the 11 tomatoes in his noggin!

This is totally the best report of the show. So so so fun! I seriously can’t wait for next year.

Also, YAY for finding out the Rape Van boys names! I’ll have to fix my photoset.

Rape Van!!!

Oh dear.

I’m just now recovering from the lack of sleep this entire adventure has entailed. Right after SPX, like, immediately after SPX I got on a plane in DC and flew to Las Vegas for a national meeting for the Graphic Artists Guild (and arriving at my hotel to realize a cover band right outsite my window would be playing shitty-ass Metallica and Offspring covers for the ENTIRE time I stayed in Vegas). I got back to Boston about two days ago and have slept pretty much ever since. Six days of travel and craziness with the last month and a half of trying to get the zine done in time for the show did me in…

But anyway, I’m glad for the Internet. Because I just realized I never even found out the names of all you great folks we karaoked with! So, I’m Jordan (the tall one with the sideburns who almost fell asleep during “Lust for Life”), nice to meet you. Brandon is the one with the great mustache and Phil is the one with the glasses and shaved head. We had a great time with y’all and were psyched to be welcomed in at our first con. Thanks,

Hope to see you next time around.

Jordan.

[...] Reports from the Small Press Expo have been piling up on the internets all week and you will find an exhaustive collection of links to them here. Two highlights would have to be the report from Heidi MacDonald for Publishers Weekly and the post from Matthew Hawkins on his site Fort90. These are highlights because: They mention Meathaus. Besides that they are two of the more thorough and photo infused reports so far. Basically, the conclusion is that everything is awesome. [...]

Yeah, I was definitely looking forward to seeing you again at this past show. Oh well… maybe next year? But you, and others, were really missed.

Great re-cap! Too bad about the food and, I heard, lack of beverages, but it sounds like an over-all positive change! Sorry I missed it.
