The Urban Action Showcase Expo weekend here in New York was not just a story of rubbing shoulders with my favourite action icons or supporting an incredible, worthwhile and awesome event, it was also a story of meeting and making new friends. It will be this, as much as anything, that sticks out in my mind about this wonderful event.
