But one day to the Emerald City Comic Convention! We shall be at booth K-04, and I have spent a good part of the day picking my costumes for each of the three days - I've elected to wear the garb of a different century each day, culminating in something I've never even tried to wear to a convention before on Sunday, so do come and visit us - we shall be ever so lonely if you don't!

Taft pretty much tells his own story here - for a long time I think he resided in the public consciousness as a figure on a Chester Arthur scale, but word on the street is that all of that is turning around and the man's accomplishments are finally getting their due. Last year, at ECCC, we met a man writing a novel around Taft's life, and got not one, but two requests for Taft sketches. The only more requested people at that can were Tesla and Lincoln, as I can recall, though to be fair one of those pictures WAS Taft fighting a bathtub...
