Any other highlights of the night? Did he say what he is working on now?

Just that it was a really beautiful (flash animation?) story about Louis Sullivan's 19th century architecture & Tim Samuelson's attempts (as a kid) to save it... Ware did about 260 individual drawings for it - I hope they can release it in some form. He also showed some of the things he is working on, including some Rusty Brown strips which are being pblished in NewCity - a Chicago weekly (similar to L.A. Weekly here). I asked him how I could get a hold of that - he just laughed & said, "Oh, you don't want to do that..." I'm sure some of it will come out in the next ACME comics....
He also had a preview copy of McSweeny's #13 - which he is editing & doing some art for.

It's a beautiful hardcover book - you can pre-order it here:

which I suggest as they tend to sell out fast.
Also - I know this:

is coming out on Dark Horse -

He also has a Rusty Brown lunchbox(?!!!!!) through them:
