Hopefully this coverage got a lot of people to come out for Awesome Con this past weekend. It was great that they printed the <i>Curls<\/i> picnic image and a photo of Joe and I. They also interviewed Ben Penrod (show organizer), Phil LaMarr (actor), and Marty Day (Super Art Fight).<\/p>\n<p>I will be writing an Awesome Con event recap and posting a photo gallery soon.
