Mandi: David Mack, wildly talented creator of Kabuki. If you haven't checked that book out yet, you deserve to be flogged. All of us got some really nice prints from him. Mine are still rolled up in the tube. Oh well. You can't win 'em all.

Jenny: Yeah, mine are rolled up somewhere too. I suck. I have so much stuff rolled up in a tube. Like posters and prints and cinnamon rolls. Kabuki is nice though. I'm finally starting to get what it's all about. Probably the most beautiful book on the market.

Mandi: Unless you count that book in his hands. What is that, Mickey and Minnie get busy? I used to have that one. I think lost it or something.

Mandi: Okay, I gotta tell the story here. Jenny, Sharon and I were standing there talking to Randy Green (a great artist who deserves some recognition) when Joe Linsner walks up. He says, "Jenny? Can I talk to you when you're done here?" "Sure," she says. We all looked at each other.

What the...?? So we talk to Sr. Green for a while and then ease on down the road to talk to Linsner. We walk up and he says, "You live in Boston, right?" "Yeah." "Would you consider posing for me sometime?" "Sure. That would be cool..." Info is exchanged and our JennyGoddess is on her way to becoming the newest calendar pinup. We handled it all cool-like. No one freaked out until we were out of the room.

Jenny: I freaked out. I still freak out some. But he hasn't called or written. So maybe I intimidated him. I'll yell at him later.

Mandi: Me and Jenny and Poison Elves' Drew Hayes. Easily the scariest looking man in the comic industry. But looks can be deceiving. He's only moderately scary to talk to.

Jenny: Yeah. I mean, how much would it take for you to let this man give you the Happy Thumb? I'm not sure there is a price. His girlfriend, a nice seeming woman in her own right, has a neat pseudo-tattoo shirt thing that made me think that she had nice murals on her arms. I was deceived.
