At the end of July, Gam3rCon happened the same weekend as Comic-Con. Allison and I were invited to perform on the roof after the last showing of Gam3rs: The Play, and so was Mark Kramer, formerly of the Canton Mudders ( Read more... )

I'm still sick. I've been sick since Wednesday. It's not the flu that's been laying people low, just a persistent head cold, but I was barely able to make it through my show at ConDor last night, and today my voice is shot, my sinuses are killing me, and there's no way I'm going to be able to attend the panel I'm supposed to be on at noon ( Read more... )

Hands-on airport searches

As my friend tepintzin said on her Facebook page, I will not be flying anywhere until this policy is rescinded. Fortunately, I don't currently have any plans to travel anywhere by plane, but now I know I won't be making any for what I imagine will be quite some time. If I go to MythosCon in January, it will be by car or train. I ( Read more... )

EDIT: I would like to officially apologize to Ms. Masterson and Mr. Sawyer for calling them assholes. It was inappropriate and out of line.

Friday: Actual performances all went well. Unfortunately, the excitement of the evening was dampened by the drama storm that Chase Masterson and Robert Sawyer (yes, the Guests of Honor) threw. It's too bad, ( Read more... )

( My Schedule )

Yeah, I know, it was August on Sunday, but geesh! Where the hell did this year go?

I think John muskrat_john Kovalic said it best:

Time doesn't so much fly, as plummet, with a terminal velocity that's never really been determined. It just keeps picking up steam. Every year shoots by faster, and all of a sudden, you realize you haven't been to freaking Gen ( Read more... )

As I've mentioned before (section 2, bullet 4), I do not like Comic-Con. Oh, I like the fact that it brings a lot of tourism business to my city, and I like the fact that it makes some of my brands of geekery mainstream for the few weeks surrounding it, but I hate the Con itself. Way too many people packed into not nearly enough space for four ( Read more... )
