And so we turn to Twitter.

I have been asked to be on a forum at the White House. Yikes!

It is an important topic, trying to figure out if I can make it work because we are in New York and scheduled to go home today.

I am kind of freaking out.

Last night when I got the email, I thought, "what?" But this morning it seems like, "how could I possibly miss this opportunity?"

The forum is about lgbtq and disability issues. So it is important and dear to my heart.

But I also feel like the least qualified person in the universe to be invited.

Also, clothing. I am in New York and mostly brought Ramones and Batgirl t-shirts. Appropriate?

I have a big meeting at DC Comics in a couple hours and I can't concentrate because I am thinking of this other thing. Yipe.

Wasn't Obama a collector of Conan comics? He will probably have some suggestions for Red Sonja. Fans! So pushy!

Also, I have been asked to be President of Europe, which is very surprising.

I am sure I was invited for my ground-breaking work on the GUS BEEZER comic, which changed all civilization as we know it.

Well, I liked them… but plans are afoot!

If I wanted to take the train to Washington DC from NYC, what train do I take and how do I arrange that, I ask you?
