My unpreparedness last year can hardly compare to my unpreparedness this year, when I don't even have signing schedules for a lot of things! But, you know, that's how Comic-Con rolls.

( Wednesday )

Previously, I said, "Coming up: lots of classics! Unless I keep pushing modern movies ahead of them in the queue."

...Ha. Heh. Um. At least this was the best batch of movies I've had in quite a while!

I feel pretty confident that I will never write epic posts about Comic-Con (in fact, I will probably never write epic posts again, sadly), so this will have to suffice until the Facebook albums go up ( Read more... )

I am not nearly as prepared for Comic-Con as I was last year or any other year, but here are the million billion things I will try to do!

I hope I can find the time to write epic posts for the three of you who will read them, but I am woefully behind on even writing down notes. So let this totally abridged narrative suffice for now ( Read more... )

It is once again time to figure out what the hell I'm doing at Comic-Con! Like, no one can go anymore because the tickets sell out almost immediately, but it is fun to dream, right?

So you remember how I said I met my $1000 fundraising goal in 12 days? Well, thanks to avipedia, dotificus, nsfinch, musesfool, modlin, soundingsea, corbeau, tamarai, missquita, paraleipsis, chaodai, pixie37373, adinarj, incidentist, chasethestars, ariiadne, aprilbegins, equustel, athenacqd, sinca, and others, I raised another $1000 in half that time. I don't even understand how that happened. I have a real shot at being the Top Fundraiser, but I can't do it without your help. Look at all those awesome people I listed ( Read more... )
