Well, gang- I’m back from our whirlwind tour of Arizona and Utah.

Nicki and I did a bit of “speed tourism” and fit a ton of sightseeing, con-going, visiting with friends, birthday celebration, and even a bit of a family reunion all into one week.

We flew to Phoenix for Cactuscon (Phoenix Comicon) where we met Stan “The Man” Lee and ate at Alice Cooper’s restaurant Cooper’stown, drove up to Prescott Valley to Dave and Micah’s for the night, hiked in Sedona, stopped in Jerome, visited Glenn Canyon Dam and Lake Powell, had ho’made pie at the Thunderbird Restaurant in Utah with my folks on Nicki’s birthday, oohed and awed at Kaibab National Forest, ran into two fellow Memphians at the Vermillion Cliffs, saw a dust devil in Cameron, and were blown away by the south rim of the Grand Canyon.

We even managed to get engaged between all that!

I popped the question as Beetlejuice after emceeing the art auction at Cactuscon on Saturday night- which also happened to be our 1yr 9mo anniversary!

We went down to the Hard Rock with Dave and Micah after the auction and had some celebratory drinks and dinner.

It was a great night!

Hey gang,

At Cape-Con this year I got to meet webcomic Mike and the Ninja creator Brian Rhodes and a couple of booth-ninjas.

Well, this week I make a cameo appearance in his comic.

That’s me in the Flash hat sitting next to the Mike and The Ninja booth.

(and that’s me standing next to comic artist Ethan Van Sciver at Cape-Con)

Thanks to Brian (and Stu the ninja) for including me in his comic!
