Got home from PAX East at 3am last night, which makes you think I'd be extra dead today but that hasn't been true. Feeling pretty good, actually, but I'm sure it's going to catch up with me tomorrow. It always catches up on Tuesday. That is what Tuesdays are for ( Read more... )

I need to post about something else. So yeah, here's a post.

Thursday - Sunday was New York Comic Con. I feel like I should write up a detailed con report like I used to, but it would be long and I am le tired. I found a copy of Dark Avengers for $1, and got some free stuff. The masquerade was a disaster. Otherwise the con was excellent, and I'm ( Read more... )

Back from PAX East, which was mercifully free of dickwolves. In fact, the biggest controversy ended up being the booth babes at the Duke Nukem Forever booth, as PAX has a "no booth babes" policy. So there you go.

Some recap of the past week or so ( Read more... )

Oh hell, I haven't made a real post in almost a month. My last post was from PAX East. Which makes it mildly funny that I came on here with intentions to post about C2E2 (or, properly, C2E2). Which is another show from Reed Exhibitions, or at least the division now known as ReedPop. As I attend New York Comic Con, New York Anime Fest, PAX East, and ( Read more... )

You know, I've stayed in enough hotels over my lifetime to know that their bread-and-butter is business travelers and every service in the hotel is geared toward that crowd, but that doesn't stop me from getting really sick of the price-gouging and such. $14.95 a day for Internet? Worse was when I discovered that the meeting rooms charge $100 a day ( Read more... )

I only seem to write when there are conventions. This weekend was the Big Apple Comic-Con, but you see, that wasn't the point of the weekend, because it kind of sucked ( Read more... )

Not much to say about the weekend. This past weekend was the New York Anime Festival, which is a nice idea with weak execution. Though the dealer's room was full and it was insanely packed on Saturday, it was missing a lot of product categories. There weren't a lot of DVD sellers, and almost no one selling toys. I guess a good chunk of the dealers ( Read more... )

This is a bit late, I know, but I'm clearing my head so I might as well get whatever I can down.

Sunday we packed our crap up and left the bags at the hotel. At the con itself there was some general wandering around in the Exhibition Hall, then we headed to the Green Lantern: First Flight screening that day because heehaw_tng missed the first one. I might ( Read more... )

I better get this down before I forget everything. I think I've already forgotten. I'm also shedding right now, which is annoying because no matter how much I scrub my arm in the shower, there's always skin that decides not to fall off until I'm say, at work. It's icky ( Read more... )
