m and I went up to San Francisco for APE. Rainy November weather was an odd setting for APE, which was bumped from it's Spring slot by Wondercon. It's only been three months since Comic-Con, so the new timing and weather was a bit of a downer. The big booths were carrying mostly the same stuff as Comic-Con, though I did manage some new finds:

• Issue 9 of Hi-Fructose, plus issues 4 and 5, which they managed to scrounge up out of hiding.
• Scott Morse's Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!
• Enrico Casarosa's The Venice Chronicles
• A Brian Despain Gelaskin wrap for my MacBook Pro. The wrap is made out of the same 3M wonder material that they wrap automobiles with.

I also purchased some original art from Scott Morse. I commissioned an Obama painting, but after he refused payment (due to it being based on Fairey's print) I took the opportunity to purchase some original art from Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!
