Bret</blockquote> Ah, but WE are not. Too many people for us, and we kind of shot the works on THIS week's road trip as far as our travel budget is concerned. The road trip was great fun, by the way; and thanks for all the well-wishes, everyone. I did get a little column fodder out of this week's travels, as you will see tomorrow. I hope. If I can get it finished in time...

I knew there was something extra special about the bonus features on the Serenity DVD. Yes, the world of comics & geeks is small. However, the wonderful caring people in it makes it all the more fun. I am lucky to have married someone who would prefer to go to Cons for vacation then golfing or camping somewhere. Where are we going to celebrate our 10 year anniverary this year? Hawaii? Nope. Stay in fancy hotel in Seatttle? Nope again. We will be at Starfury this year!!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful story.

I'm one of those lucky ones who married someone just as geeky as I am. Dawn and I have a lot of geek overlapping interests in terms of comics and SF/fantasy media, but there's also plenty of stuff that one of us wasn't initally familiar with that the other was able to corrupt... err, introduce us to. Even the stuff that doesn't wind up being a shared interest doesn't come between us; Dawn doesn't play RPG games (a quarter-century passion for me), but she's never tried to wean me from them, either. Geek love... it's a wonderful thing. Greg, I never tire of hearing the SDCC/Firefly story (go RIN!!!).

I know how incredibly lucky it is to have someone who accepts and at times embraces the geek lifestyle. It took my fiancee a while to warm up to it all, especially since I didn't get back into comics until after two years of dating, but she has been really awesome about it. I've got her hooked on three titles (Fables, Y, and Loveless), she picks up graphic novels from time to time, joyfully goes to a comic book shop no matter where we happen to be traveling, and even went to Wizard World with me and my friends last year (she'll be going again this year too). At times it still confuses her, but its still amazing to have someone who can take all of this in stride! Congrats on the anniversary!

Not of that convention crap (kidding!), but of your planned vacation. I got married at Multnomah Falls on 30 July, and the Gorge in the summer is just spectacular. Portland in the summer is pretty damned nice, too. Although, you know, here we've had about a week of 115-degree temperature, plus the monsoon hit us last night! So there! God, I'm jealous.

As a Firefly geek (and, c'mon, the Serenity movie was brilliant) myself, I totally get it. And I'll watch that featurette again and look out for your pals. Cool stuff. Happy anniversary. Awesome.
