Another Work Vacation...

So, René, you haven't updated your blog, what's new ?
Well, for one, the Str!pdagen are over now. And I sort of had a good time although I don't think Probeersel.com would fit in well there. So that's a no go on us getting a booth there next year.
I did meet a large amount of comic artists and other people I'd until then only known from online, as well as meet up again with people I'd met before. I handed out a bunch of T-shirts (since the competition at Probeersel.com just isn't coming along at all, and at some point I do want a third edition out there, with a design from Gregory Cathalina on it !) and so when I returned and finally could start my two week vacation, I 'grew' a to-do list.
That's right.. you know how it goes.. you meet a lot of new people, exchange email addresses and site links, then you need to update your site (including reviews for new links), you find out that there are several bugs in the new engine that somehow need fixing, you're emailing everyone from Probeersel.com to enquire how many copies of the Showcase Booklet they want for themselves from the second printing, you're framing an original drawing from someone for someone else's birthday, you're sending and uploading photos from the convention, you're trying to contact new artists who you're hoping will be interested in joining the site, you're creating new link banners, an artist comes by your place to bounce ideas for a comic he wishes to do, your cats are peeing in the attic and you want to solve that once and for all, you have to move a dental appointment in the near future to a more closeby town, you have several agencies that you need your address changed with since you always forgot those, you have new bills, including phonebill, to pay, which makes you decide to switch to ADSL after all (coming sometime soon I hope), you're trying to figure out all the information required to organise the Netherlands' first ever Webcomics-convention, and this upcoming weekend you need to write a half year report. Also, you have a major ten page project on your hands that isn't coming along too quickly, and a weekly webcomic that desperately requires attention. And not to mention that on monday night, you got a GREAT idea for a new graphic novel, almost forgetting you still have two other big projects lined up first.

Or maybe that's just how the first week of my vacation goes, and you are actually smart and just take lots of rest and go do fun stuff.
