If I'm gonna miss the Saturday panels, I doubt I'll come... a poor college student should not spend money on an entry fee to get into a place where she will just end up spending way more money. Oh well. Thanks the info anyway, Ramon! Ah, I just realized that I have a bridal shower to go to on Saturday!

PB is great fun, as are Hillcrest, North Park, and Balboa Park. I'm friends with you on Myspace (because I'm such a stalker like that), so just let me know! Until then, keep up the amazing job and remember to breathe! I’m a poor college student, I completely get the saving money issue. PB is great fun, as are Hillcrest, North Park, and Balboa Park.

I was totally looking forward to owning a sketch of a Kukuburi character! A break from sunny San Diego, California? Well, I guess it's another day of work for you. I live here and I know all of the awesome spots- that I could have showed you if you were coming! Awww, man! I was totally looking forward to owning a sketch of a Kukuburi character!
