A few weekends ago Ryan suggested we attended our first ‘but not last’ comic book convention. He’d heard on the radio that Wizard World was going to be in town and found out Top Cow was going to be in attendance. Our $20.00 admission bought us 3-4 hours of fun and we could have stayed longer if Illianna wasn’t getting fussy.

There were so many cool vendors, the people watching was great ‘yes there were people in tights and capes’, and I had flashbacks to my teen years. Ryan and I both were on the look for old friends, but never came across any. It was great to see how the typical social misfit was totally in their element at the convention. I think everyone has a place in this world and figuring out where that is is a continuous process.

We found lots of goodies. Pawstar was one of the first. They have all sorts of cool things, but what really caught my attention was the cute bear hats. I recently had one of my coworkers pick me up the original Japanese version from Miki House when he was back in Tokyo for a visit. ‘I’ve got the shopping site bookmarked at work because it took me hours of randomly clicking around seeing as how I don’t read or speak Japanese- so good luck.’ Pawstar is much more reasonably priced and available in the US. Ryan was excited to come across Uberclok. ‘I think he goes to their website regularly and drools.’ We’ve got a pile of anime we need to watch and now we’re adding another movie to it.

The biggest find was some artwork by Dirk Strangely.

His name seemed very familiar to me and I thought I might have seen something of his at Hot Topic, but it was determined I’ve come across him from my shopping on ebay. He has a unique blend of dark and light. It reminds me of Mirror Mask.

All and all we had a great time being nerds and I can’t wait until next time.

Interesting article

It goes so wrong, right from the start….

For those of you that haven’t been to the site Dont Hate Him Girl , you should really go. But only listen to the advice if you are a’ clueless, b’ in such dire need of self-esteem you think it is ok to perform in a scat video, or c’ just divorced for the second time and already oogling the pool boy.

Case in point, here is the quote from the bottom of the front page today:

“Some pray to marry the man they love, my prayer will somewhat vary: I humbly pray to Heaven above that I love the man I marry.
~ by Rose Stokes ~”

Of course, some of us know how this should really read:

“Some pray to marry the man they love, my prayer will somewhat vary: I humbly pray I never say “I do” to anyone other than the one I love, otherwise I pray that I am sterile so as not to add to the already overpopulated planet of at least 300 million morons”.

I lost count on the moron scale on this one. Lets just say we are at 295M and counting…

since he is a superhero that borders on being a villain, it just makes sense.
