I know very few Dojo members, if any, will be at the comics festival in Granada that Sergio and I will be guests at in March.
However, if you will be there, is there anything in particular you would like me to bring?
I usually travel light on these trips to Europe, so if there is something in particular you would like me to bring, either send me a e-mail or post your request below.

I'm not sure yet wether I'll be able to attend or not, so I'm not gonna ask for anything special. Besides, I already got a signed drawing back in Madrid, so I couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the offer, though

I wont be able to attend, but a friend of me will be there and have some of my books to be signed grasscutter+UY RPG
Still I dont know what you could bring, but I would buy a 2006 calendar and the art of usagi yojimbo if you bring them here (the drawing book published in spain is just a little 80 pages one in small format and without color section)
Thanks a lot for asking.
by the way, could you private message me with the total cost of that? I have to send a friend the money

I will, of course, write a travel report.
Sergio and I will be arriving a day two days earlier to take in the sights of the Alhambra and Sevilla.
I looking forward to drinking Bitter Kas again.

Al Hambra? *shudders* I hope that you don't mind it, Stan. Sorry, but I have terrible memories of walking through it for about 4 hours with my parents who then made all of us go for a second time straight after! >_< But I hope that you won't mind going through that...

The Alhambra is probably the most important remain of arabic world in Spain as Granada was the 2º most important arabic city of its time.
Hope you enjoy your stay in Southern Spain, it is a cool place to visit, since it is something you can't find in any other place of our "Western" world.
Hint, try getting lost in the narrow and curly streets in the center of the City.
Why on the world I enjoy getting lost?

el choto al ajillo

Wow, a lot of time since I posted here....
I'm trying to arrange things to go to this one. I want you to sign my copy of The Art of Usagi ^_^
Do you think there are going to be Usagi's T-Shirts there? The one with the sketchy rabbit in it? Last time I was in Barcelona I didn't find any of XXL size
