I’m saddened and disappointed to tell you all that I won’t be at the Emerald City Comicon this year. ECCC was the first major convention I set the BOTbooth up at and the convention and people there hold a very special place in my heart. I love Seattle and the trip up is always one of the highlights of my driving adventures during the year – the view going up is spectacular and stopping in Portland has become a tradition.
With that said, it’s with a heavy heart that I had to cancel my booth at the last minute – but for good reason! Turns out I booked a small job this past weekend with College Humor that I couldn’t turn down, and it has continued on into this week. I also have another job interview this Friday that popped up that I need to be in L.A. for. Many of you who have been visiting this site over the past couple of years know that I’ve been looking for a steady job for a long time now (paying rent is important!), and so I just couldn’t turn these opportunities down, as much as I wanted to be at ECCC this weekend.
So to sum up: huge, heartfelt apologies to the BOTpeeps who came by the BOTbooth only to find, well, I’m not sure who or what’s in that space now. (If you go to the convention, let me know!) I’ll miss seeing all your awesome faces and getting to hang with you at one of the best comicons around. Wish me luck that I’ll book a job soon, and I hope to be back at Emerald City with hugs and fist-bumps for you next year! (Oh, and for the record, I still plan on being at the San Diego Comic-Con in July if all goes according to plan. Fingers crossed!)
Get that work and give me my shades of firsting. We’ll see you another time.
hey, GB, break legs on your “So Your Kid Wants to Make Video Games” panel. wish i could be there to see it as i’m sure it’s gonna be fantastic! let me know how it goes. 😀
hopefully, i’m getting that work as you read this! and as the regular Shades are awarded on comic updates only, here are the Honorary Inviso-Shades of Firsting on the BOTblog (whew! they’re quite the mouthful):
Panel went great, sad I didn’t get to see ya, but I’m starting new job next week that will *require* travel, so maybe I’ll be in the same city where you’re doing a con someday soon.
It wont be the same without you. Congrats on finding some work and I hope you find something more permanent
aww, thanks, Erebus. let us know how the con goes! and thanks for the hope on me finding employment – i feel like something more steady is right around the corner!
You are missed here at con
awwWWwww, thanks, Kendra! i miss being there and seeing you there – you’re part of the reason ECCC’s one of my favorite cons! 😀
First congratulations on the job – Always excellent getting a paycheck. I went looking for you today here at ECCC, so I too am saddened you needed to cancel, but completely understand!! Seattle still loves Jeffbot!!!
I was worried when you weren’t at ECCC, but so relieved to find out it was for good reasons! Best of luck in catching something steady and I hope to see you next year!
I’m way pumped to see you on YouTube, if that’s where you’re headed with CH.
Best of luck to you on your job interview! Hopefully you land it and you can get back to the superloaded MWF BOT updates!
Best of luck on the job. Sorry to have missed you in Seattle. But, as you said a job gives you a roof and food 2 of many important things. Trust the interview went well.
Good luck!
*please dont go taken on me*
What’s the word on Phoenix Comic Con later this month? Will we see you there later this month?
sorry i couldn’t make it this year, Steve! i got swamped with some new design gigs i couldn’t turn down. i totally missed being there and seeing all of you BOTpeeps, though. how was it!!?
DAY 68
I have a strange feeling that jefbot.com is on hiatus again…
I’ll check tomorrow just to confirm my suspicions.
hey, ROM! it’s not officially on hiatus but i’m crazy busy with some freelance jobs and getting ready for the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con. i’m gonna try my hardest to get another strip out in the next couple of weeks, tho!
Yay glad to hear your keeping busy with freelance work.
