20 minutes and counting waiting for the shuttlebus. The FCBD morning meeting has no doubt started, as we wait. Tomorrow morning, I'll do the $10 cab ride, but I can't brng myself to throw away the time already spent. Sigh.

Thursday had so many entertainments, I can't count, winding up with a terrific dinner with our VIP guests and Steve Rude.

And now it's a couple hours later, and the Free Comic Book Day meeting has determined that FCBD in 2009 will be May 2 and that the process of solicitations will start earlier.

Info from yesterday included that Marv Wolfman's Homeland: The Illustrated History of the State of Israel (a graphic novel form) won The National Jewish Book Award.

A friend told me that, while there's not an official actors' strike at the moment, there have been some problems with voice artists not showing up for some animation recording sessions.
