SPACE
Well, gang, SPACE was a great time. We spent two days among the indie comic circuit, and for our first show ever, I can't complain much. We met a lot of really cool people, tons of which we plan to keep in contact with. Last year, when I (Jordan) walked around SPACE as a fan… Continue reading SPACE

The shirt was actually for a band… Continue reading Meeting Your Maker
