APE 2004
Once a year God looks down from on high at all the little comic nerdlings and He reaches down His finger to bless a special land of milk and honey for them to come and celebrate. That land is San Francisco and that celebration is APE.
Nicole, Marni, and I made the six hour pilgramage to worship at the temple of mini-comics and sleep on the floor of wonderful, wise, and all-exhalted Jen Wang; and God said it was Good.

Jen made some money by selling her mini-comics. By which I mean she pimped me on the dirty streets of San Francisco to buy drugs.

Both my parents called me up individually to say "So... we know you and Marni are going to San Fransisco this weekend. ....PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE NOT GETTING MARRIED." to which I would giggle and Marni would give an uncharacteristically terrified shriek.
