WINTER 2011 TOUR DIARY Part Seven

I woke up Thursday morning, in Waltham, Mass.  Packed up my stuff, and headed out early.  I was going to try to make it all the way to Cleveland, where Kevin Czap's luxurious couch awaited me.  Out west on I-90, there was snow.

I thought about stopping in Albany to visit Porter, but he had pneumonia.  Above, the river.

Made it to Cleveland, no problem.  Met up with Kevin, jabbered a bit, and then ZZZZZZZZZ.

Next morning there was snow on my car, the first of the tour.  I had been worried the whole time about running into bad weather, and it was in the 50's and 60's until my last day.

Lo and behold, the day after I arrived home was the Milwaukee Zine Fest.  So I stocked up on comics and made my way down 43.

God, I love the midwest.
