Today, the Overlords of Children's Graphic Novels ascended from the heavens above and gathered in the Walt Disney Concert Hall to share their infinite knowledge. And I was there. That's right, today I was at Drawn Together! I got to see the authors of
Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Timmy Failure, Captain Underpants, and
Big Nate all in one fantastic day. So, as with all fantastic days, I will present the best moments in fabulous bullet-point format!
- Getting all the author's autographs. (Never, eBay. NEVER!)
- Finding out the guy talking about Star Wars I had just eavesdropped on in the row behind me was the author of The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend, Dan Santat!
- Seeing the reactions of the other authors when they found out Jeff Kinney's favorite movie is Ghost. Be who you want to be, Jeff. Don't let the haters stop you, man.
- Julie Bowen magically appearing out of nowhere!
- Getting insight into Dav Pilkey's war with monkeys. It's a long story.
- My mom finding out the actual pronunciations of Dav Pilkey and Lincoln Peirce.
- Being heavily inspired.
- Amassing a bookmark fortune.
My books will be marked for years to come! Years, I say!
