People who've been around me recently probably know that I've got a deep, burning desire to get to the US soonish for at least one comic con as we don't seem to have any in Australia.

And of course, since Michael Silverstri and Michael J. Straznitski is also rumoured to be attending.

Later on in the series, is this rant about how Katchoo can see into a person and like them completely, no matter what gender, etc, etc... I wrote it up somewhere word for word, just so I won't quote it badly.
