Aah, Friday. The end of the work week. it is finally time to sit back and relax a bit. Oh, wait, I have a convention to work... Yeah, I know. Poor little Chris, he has to go to San Diego and hang out with comic book fans all day. I am having a blast, but this is more work than it may sound like ...
