What's up, peeps? Although I usually like to wait a few months before bringing back the same guests I've had on my shows before, in this case I've decided to make an exception and bring back Rob Gomez, aka Wolvie Fan, only 2 weeks after his previous appearance when he did a Show & Tell together with James Siegel. Rob has been collecting original art for longer than most of us, including myself, and claims to have lots of stories to tell. Anyone who knows me know I love to listen to stories about our amazing hobby, so I figured I'd invite Rob back quickly so he can share some of those stories with all of us. I'm pretty sure Rob won't have a time limit for this episode, so this will be the first one in a while which may go as long as everyone wants to listen, chat and just hang out together. So I look forward to seeing you all here for this one!
