But last weekend was Montreal’s Expozine and I drove 13 hours straight through a snowstorm to be there. I wouldn’t miss this one since it was the 10th anniversary. Things kicked off with a panel discussion with the founders of the festival (including myself) at the Drawn and Quarterly store. Ah, to remember fondly the old...
