Aw snap!  Our second con of 2007 is almost upon us, as we make our way to lovely Hunt Valley, MD for Balticon 41!

We aren’t going to have a merch table this time (sorry gang, we’re still working on our merch!), but we WILL be roaming the halls, and a part of a metric shit ton of panels!  Here’s where you can check us out over the weekend.
