- Mike Freiheit, who had a neat autobiographical comic called Monkey Chef, which is about what it sounds like.
Even with all that, I'm sure there was much more that I missed, but I had a great time nonetheless, and I'll be writing about as much of it as I can over the next week or so. Good comics, good times, good people, what a great show.
