Comicpalooza: The Texas International ComicCon at Houston, Texas
May 24, 2013 to May 26, 2013
Comicpalooza was first held July 19, 2008 in the lobby of the Alamo Drafthouse Theater in Katy, Texas. It wasn’t a comic convention; it was a simple signing event set to coincide with the release of “The Dark Knight.” Comicpalooza was conceived as a means of helping local comic creators reach the media and the public. It was fun for all dozen or so comic creators who showed up. We had no idea what it would rapidly grow into.Comicpalooza 2009 was re-imagined as a two-day comic book festival set…See More

If you haven't read Douglas Adams, you might give the Hitchhiker's series a go . . ."

Profile Information
- Introduction
- The persona:
Adam Douglass Cruize here. Currently assigned to the 42nd Airship Battalion of the Mother Earth Air Navy.
There are no ranks in the M.E.A.N. - just duties.
Although certified as Chief Engineer and Sr. Navigator aboard the big ships, most of my assignments are reconnaissance - with lots of time on terra firma.
My certs qualify me for anything aboard a small flyer, so I still get into the skies enough without crewing on the big ships.
These days it's really all about working to foil the pirates and other bullies.
The persona's alter ego:
Name changes constantly (as does appearance)
Occupation: Pirate and informant.
Are we pirate or straight arrow?
No one on either side really knows for sure . . .
The person:
Industrial physicist / design engineer.
Wannabe renaissance man.
Lover of good fiction and other art, most music and good times.

Thank you Sir, for the fine Birthday gift of a time machine. Indeed it is something I have longed for.
I think a good first venture backwards will be to see my favourite barber, who passed away some ten years ago. Mr Bear has not had a decent haircut since Mr. Alba's passing.
Happy days are here again.

Cruize my good Man... Always a pleasure to hear from you. It seems as if you have been on many fantastic adventures far and wide. Very impressed by your French sorte. Duty has kept me busy of late. Have not as of the moment made plans to venture to WWWC2 but that can change. My watch on the Empire has been persistent daily if not active, but hopefully that to will change and I shall become more active.
