Goodnight friends! This was our full comic convention day, maybe one of the biggest conventions I’ve been to, certainly by sheer volume of exhibitors. Overwhelming in a very different way than the museum, but almost equally so, a constant tidal roar of voices, astonishing artistry and chaos, bursting human expression. Loaded down with way too many comics and zines, we went back to the hotel and spaced out in the hot tub and steam room for an hour before feeling able to do much of anything. Another good day to be indoors under artificial light, dipping to 7°c outside and a constant fizz of drizzle beneath brooding, murky concrete coloured skies.

May we treat each other and ourselves with generosity and loving-kindness today!
