Rant Averted: Comic-Con

I was going to post a rant about Comic-Con and the insane hotel situation a couple days ago but a good friend has helped us out of a bind. I was beginning to think I would have to sleep in Mission Bay or stay with my relatives at Sea World or something! Let me tell you, I wasn’t looking forward to have kids gawk at me all day and try to pet me. No thank you. But yeah, we’ll be at Comic-Con. Phil and Brendan are working on planning some meetups and we all are hoping to have our zine done by then to show off to folks. It should be an awesome time!

Long Beach Comic Expo

Sorry for the lack of updates. My computer started acting all crazy and I just now got it fixed. I made the jump to Windows 7 since Vista was causing a lot of problems. My music library is getting so large that whenever I make any kind of big change to my computer setup I have to take some extra care to make sure all my music gets put back where it is supposed to be. I guess that’s one instance where Brax’s refusal to enter the digital age pays off. Anyways, as Brax said, we’re going to be at Long Beach One Day Comic Expo on Saturday. We’ll be handing out stickers so be sure to find us!

California Comic Con = Lame

Brax dragged me to this stupid convention, insisting it would be cool. It turned out to be quite the opposite. Most comic conventions at the very least have artists, collectibles, and some form of washed up celebrities to take pictures with and/or laugh at. This had none of those. Just a bunch of dudes selling old comics. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I sure as heck wouldn’t pay 10 bucks for it. Then they had the audacity to yell at us for asking for our money back since we were only there for like 5 minutes. So yeah, I’m a liitle ticked about that.
