Well, the third day of D*Con went pretty well. Matt came in late again, so I filled in to help out at Hayden Panettiere’s table, which was a unique experience. Then Matt came back, and we sat and chatted for the day while he signed autographs. I also got autographs from the other Star Wars [...]

Well, the second day went pretty smoothly for Greg, but not so much for me. Matthew Wood had something come up and came in late, so I had nothing to do until about 1:30PM. And by “nothing to do,” I, of course, mean that I was running my arse off doing things for the other [...]

Today was Dragon*Con’s first day, and was it amazing.
Christina and I stopped off to get coffee (’cause neither of us got much sleep) before our short meeting before the show started.  We’re standing in line, chatting, when the guy behind us asks us if we’re in line.  Yeah, we reply.  I mouthed to Christina “Do [...]

Well, Greg and I made it here mostly without incident. We had a small hiccup with the directions and got a little lost for a bit, and then my lead foot got us into some trouble in Tennessee. 88mph in a 70mph zone, and it’s going to cost a pretty penny to pay that one [...]

Apparently, custom ponies have become big on the collector’s market. [...]

The video is here.
The co-creator of the acclaimed graphic novel has some nice things to say about the rough cut of the movie (clocking in around two hours and forty five minutes) and director (300, Dawn of the Dead) Zack Snyder. The artist also touches upon Alan Moore’s take on Hollywood adaptations and DC [...]

Christina and I are leaving for Dragon*Con Wednesday evening. We’ll be working as guest liaisons, which is a fancy way of telling everyone we’re assistants. We’re not supposed to tell who we’ll be assisting, but I assume we can spill the beans after the first day.
Watch for updates from Atlanta this weekend.
(The pictures– [...]
