Back from Newtown
Oct. 20th, 2008 02:56 amWoke up an hour ago with Bobby throwing up a hairball next to me, after a long sleep. 24 Hour Comic Day , which I got back from earlier, was great!
Didn't get much sleep Friday night. Barely caught the bus in the morning but everything else ran smoothly. There were about 6-8 of us at Twenty10 and I was only one of two people to get 24 pages down within the 24 hours. It was a really good event for my birthday. Chatting with others, or listening/watching films on the big screen projector (they played Serenity / Last Unicorn / Howl's Moving Castle / Aeon Flux and others) helped me stay awake. At one point I was going to crash after 16 pages but after changing in PJs and a 5 minute nap I was OK, and continued until morning.
Don't have the artwork yet - everyone's is being scanned in and hosted somewhere, but that'll get sent to me eventually.
The trip home was very long and tedious (being up for 30+ hours didn't help) including an hours wait at Woy Woy station after a goods train broke down at Gosford. Got home, found Kevin & Michelle weren't here (still aren't), fed the pets and crashed about 5pm - slept until 2am but I think I'll be going back to bed.
Was a good day, and I feel ready for my 52nd year. :)
