March 6, 1992
Not much room this week–my fault, since I was busy doing stupid stuff like earning a living to write the column about flawed heroes. That’ll have to wait until next week.
So I’m taking the brief space allotted this go around to let people know of my convention schedule for the next few months, so that anyone who is so demented that they actually want to meet me can set aside that time.
March 14-15, I’ll be at the Glasgow Comic Art Convention in Scotland. I was extremely excited when I was invited to this, since I’ve never attended a comic con abroad. Except the other day I spoke to a former resident of Glasgow who told me that it would be raining all the time, I wouldn’t understand anything people said, and I’d be eating such foods as sheeps’ intestines and blood pudding made from real blood. So now I’m a nervous wreck.
April 4 & 5 I’ll be at Vulkon, a “Trek” con in Altamonte Springs in the Orlando area. Then the weekend of April 25th, I’ll be in Oakland for Wondercon. Things are quiet (by choice) in May, and then the weekend of June 20th I’ll be attending the Atlanta Fantasy Fair.
Updates as the occur.
(Peter David, writer of stuff, wonders what it would be like if the laws of geography could be overturned and Mike Tyson was put in a cell with Jeffrey Dahmer. After all, they do call him Iron Mike, and Dahmer needs iron in his diet.)

Wow, talk about a preiscent column, given Tyson’s own cannibalistic leanings that would surface a decade later.
I recently bought the BID book at a Big Apple Con, and was amazed at how prescient/relevant many of the columns were.
Except, of course, the BID poll…
Has PAD ever done a followup to the Poll? examining the results in a modern context?
