  2. I’d go in a heartbeat. Wanna fly me from San Diego, Wiley?

  3. Naw, you can stay right there, Lucas. I understand there’s a little comics convention being held in San Diego soon, but I’m sure it won’t anywhere near as big as the one in Maine.

  4. Norm Feuti will be on that panel, too. And I’m Fake Rockstar. Who the Hell is Corey Pandolph?

    Oh, all is lost…

  5. That’s just a rumor, Wiley. I don’t know if there’s a market for something like that here in San Diego.
