Slayed Tours

We had to get them all on here. All that time in airports, on airplanes, in airport shuttles, in rental cars, in hotel rooms sleeping with one eye open, getting woken up at the ass-crack-of-dawn by some design chapter, doing workshops, hangouts, visits, deposition-like Q&A sessions, lugging merch around, setting up DDC merch tables, selling the goods, doing the talk, kissing babies, signing books and winding down in watering holes and eateries. It’s all below.
