Thoughts on Portland & Convention

	Portland, you were wonderful. I flew in, married another couple, did a convention... And had a wonderful time with my friends! Thanks, Brian Bendis and Marc Andreyko! Thanks, people from this board that showed up at the signing. Thanks, Chinese couple that I married last Thursday and who took us all out for wonderful Chinese seafood Saturday!
Mr. Mack later noted:
	I heard Bendis' GEEK SHOW segment from Howard Stern last night It was great and truly the king of kingdom geeky! We made it extra geeky by playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare while I listened to it!
