This was my first time at PAX East, or a games convention of any kind. In Seaport, near downtown, in Boston. In the nicest convention center I’ve ever seen. Video games, tabletop and board games, RPGs, PC gaming, trading card games, a running competition between two things for absolute most of them in giant piles everywhere: dice and Pokémon. Look, normally I’m writing these about MICE. That’s my con background, C2E2, BKCF. Pittsburgh Comicon back when Evan Dorkin MC’d the Harvey Awards.

But Wedding Juice and Other Melodramas isn’t a fable. Phawde isn’t subject to a witch’s curse, they’re just allergic to kiwis. Dad’s on the three-way video chat harrumphing at bringing up something so morbid when planning the ceremony. The stage is set.
