On Approach

So I'm in Italy this week to attend the Mantova Comics and Games Festival. I came last year and it was a blast so I'm thrilled to be back for 2009. Found a lot of great talent here last year and am hoping for similar success again this year! I'll be blogging all week from the show, so keep checking back.

The flight over was bumpy as hell and I didn't sleep very well, which is odd for me. I even had my own row as the flight was pretty empty, but even stretching out, I had no luck dozing off. I was actually awake for dinner, which was surprisingly good for airline food. One of the best meals I've had on a plane that I've been awake for in years; steak with gnocchi on the side! Ended up reading magazines and comics for most of the flight. Naoki Urasawa's PLUTO was incredible as expected! Also played some Solitaire and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, except it was the British version and was pretty damn hard! How am I supposed to know what color British driver's licenses are or where Beckham was born?!

Anyway, this was the view out my window as we began our descent into Rome...
