My official notes and musings are now up on Pop Syndicate.

I’m trying to put together a con report but my head right now is having trouble stringing two consecutive thoughts together.  I’ll probably have something out tomorrow for Pop Syndicate and a more personal piece out on Tuesday either on the blog or out as a podcast but I wanted to quickly describe one scene [...]
