ME: I get a dozen or so messages a week from someone asking -- either 
about Sergio, me or both of us -- "Why haven't you appeared lately in my 
area?"  And the answer usually starts with the fact that no convention 
in that area has invited us lately.  It also can have to do with whether 
the offer was something we thought we could accept.

We just turned down appearing at a comic/toy expo in Calgary next May 
because it's too close to another committment we have.  That's one of 
the few offers we've ever had to go to Canada.  If we got more, we'd be 
there more often...although I don't think either of us are travelling as 
much as we used to.
