I have absolutely no idea why Logan\u2019s Run was going through my head.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the last day of a convention can be a funny thing. You are trying to do those few things you wanted to do before you left and you spend a lot of time saying good-bye to people that you are probably only going to interact with on the Internet for six months to a year.<\/p>\n

Our day started with Peter having two panels and then had to go run a few floor errands so he didn\u2019t get to the table and seated until 1 pm. Caroline went to the voice actors panel part 2 and was going to go to the Sailor Moon panel but decided against it in favor of going with me while I got a very different souvenir of the convention.<\/p>\n

This all started back in 2004 at the CBLDF (Comic Book Legal Defense Fund) where Peter ended up getting a tattoo of the Elfquest character Leetah on his arm after Richard and Wendy Pini donated a 1000 to the CBLDF. <\/p>\n

Since then we had, at first, joked about me getting a matching Cutter tattoo. In 2012, Wendy drew a Cutter on my arm, which was fun, but that one wasn\u2019t to be permanent. <\/p>\n

\"<\/a>
\nNow it is permanent and Peter and I have an art piece on our arms.<\/p>\n

This started Saturday night when we found ourselves at the same restaurant as the Richard and Wendy. We were having dinner with Mark and Maggie when I spotted the Pinis. Wendy came over and in short order this happened.<\/p>\n

So yesterday I went to Nothing Sacred Tattoo Shop <\/a> and made the drawing a permanent part of my life. Hector did a good job. He appreciated that I had photos of the original drawing so he could get it right and I think he did a bang up job. <\/p>\n

At the next convention you see us at, ask to see the tattoos together because they are of a piece.<\/p>\n

I am grateful that after twelve years we have the bookend to this story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
