So, CCEE 2011. Much better than last year, not because of the calibre of guests they got but because they listened to the complaints from last year and actually improved things. Bigger exhibit hall and more space to walk through it, bigger main panel room, and organized lines (for the most part). Some things still need tweaking, like their photo-op ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm even more exhausted than yesterday and it's not like I did anything either. I guess just being in a huge crowd can really suck the energy out of you. Still, a good day.

I am so tired. The annual comic book and entertainment expo is on this weekend. I just spent half the day wandering the exhibit hall and trying to say coherent things to the media guests. I think I spoke the most to Felicia Day but mostly because I had to explain the messages I wanted her to sign on my swag. And success! I now have all the ( Read more... )

Felicia Day and the cast of The Guild are coming to town for the comic book expo! And Katee Sackhoff! And Michael Hogan! There are others that hold my interest, too, but these are the ones I actually got excited about.

The Guild cast should be fun; season five might be airing by then. My sister bought me season one on DVD about two years ago at PAX ( Read more... )

So I spent my weekend at the local comic book and entertainment expo. A lengthy title for what's basically a convention at heart. The media guests are the main draw but there are tons of comic book artists and other exhibitors that are also part of the package. This year was the biggest one they've done by far and no offense to the organizers, who ( Read more... )

Well, the con is over. Not much to report from today. There weren't any media guest panels, just Ed & Red's Mini Show. I suppose I should explain who this Ed is for those not in the know. Ed is Ed the Sock, a puppet who's, well, a sock with green hair and a cigar. He used to be on Much Music all the time and was the crass talking puppet. I actually ( Read more... )

Tahmoh wasn't there! *breaks into hysterical sobs*

*takes deep breath*

I don't think I've ever seen that many people attend this con before. It was... wow. When I got there at 10:00, the line was so long it was leading into the other building next to hall where the con was. I was all worried I wouldn't get good seats, but oddly, once my sister and I ( Read more... )

So tomorrow is the local comic book con. I'm very glad I bought my photo-op tickets beforehand; they raised the price for whatever reason, thus sucking more money from the geeks. Annoyingly, I just learned that if I want multiple items signed, that's multiple separate autograph fees, not one. Sigh. But they added some last minute guests and the ( Read more... )

Man, I did horribly in the BSG death pool. I thought "They're not going to go with the obvious choices; let's pick the less likely." By the rules we were playing by, people you chose who didn't die was minus a point. I ended up with -4. *shakes head*

As for the finale, I found it was "meh".

Ah, geekiness knows no bounds. The sister spiffed up my poll and made this at work today:
