| Free A* postcards @ Jet City Comic Show, Sat! | Sep 24, 2010 6:43 AM PDT | url |

Added 2 new A* pages:I'll be at Jet City Comic Show--at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall!--this Saturday, probably in the late afternoonish, trying to unload free A* postcards on people, so come take one off my hands! I'm not an exhibitor or anything, so I'll just be wandering around looking silly and hopefully saying hi to a few comic people whose stuff I like, like Jonathon Dalton and Chris Samnee.
I have never tried this before so hopefully it will work. >_>
The cards will look something like this, except on papery bits:
Pretty good for free, right? Yessss.
Oh yeah, and if you're going to be there and want to know what I look like so you can hunt me down and take my cards, I look kind of like the guy on this site's "about" page, only lower contrast, and in color. You could also Google image search me, I guess... Hey I'm the first hit for my name now! Rad. And I'm not any of the dudes with the buzz cuts that seem to be so popular among my fellow Ben Chamberlains. Eesh.
And anyway hopefully they'll have a "freebie" table like I hear is often the case at these things, where I can just dump a stack of cards and then go goof off and hopefully find them all gone when I finally remember to check back.

Vero's "wasn't" in page 124 there was bugging me; it didn't sound exactly right, and part of me kept wanting it to be "weren't," but the other part of me thought that sounded silly. So I finally looked it up right before uploading the page! Turns out that because it's an "if" conditional type of thing, technically he should be using the "subjunctive" tense, which would be "weren't." But the subjunctive is kind of high-nosed and sissy, so he didn't. I guess. Guh.
I find this a bit funny because when you're in school learning another language, like say French, the teachers love dumping all these crazy-sounding verb tenses on you; mine didn't really get encouraged enough to work themselves up to trying the French subjunctive tense on us in a big way--sigh--but if they had, I'm sure my first reaction would have been something like "'Subjunctive?!' What the heck kind of made up foreign junk is this??" Well so it turns out we have one in my own native language, and I even kind of know it, except not by name. And not by rule. Huh!
Oh well, at least now I know why that line was bugging me. =p
