snap judgments no, really, there are some comics you really should read

The Coolest Thing EVER

You see, sometimes cool things happen to you and others have coolness thrust upon them.

This is a little of both:

oh my dear sweet lord

That's right.  At my hometown comic shop, at my place of employment, Mr. MATT FREAKIN' FRACTION is going to be live in person sitting not ten feet from where I type this.  All the way from Kansas City, Missouri, he's going to grace the shores of sunny Santa Barbara for this once in a lifetime signing event.

I haven't said anything about it because I keep thinking something terrible is going to happen but no!  It's true!  Our more complicated dreams of an exclusive store interview were eroded by reality to the point where I was at least able to send him some questions by email which he answered with grace and aplomb.  Really!  Check it out!  This is so awesome-sauce.

So if you happen to be in the Southern California area and free this Saturday, please drop on by the store and say Hi.  Shake the man's hand.
