Just a litle while ago I arrived, tardy and out of breath, for my long delayed meeting with Ryan, A.K.A. bobo_dreams, one of my favorite LJ people. It seems crazy that it’s taken this long for us to meet face to face, but as we talked through the last couple of years, it seems like the delay was right. I’ll say this, all the charm and complexity, all the thought that you see in Ryan’s photography and drawing, is right there when you talk to him.

We brunched, as the queer often do, and the location was one of my favorites: Elephant and Castle. The talk ranged over past history, comics, the redemptive power of romance, and what’s wrong with Texas. He explained to me who the heck Emma Frost is. We both vowed that this is not the last conversation. Now we’re in a race to see who posts about it first.
