Where's Captain Slinky?
Oct. 23rd, 2005 07:36 amDon't bother looking for me today unless you're at the Comic Book Convention at the Seattle Center today. I'll be busy plundering the depths of The Quarter Bins. See you there!

Why do I do that to myself?
Oct. 23rd, 2005 08:24 pmYeah... about that Comic Book Convention at The Seattle Center that I was going to today.
I don't really know why I bother going to those ones any more. They just depress me.
I bought some stuff, I got some really good deals, but I also left after only one hour. I would say there were less than 40 people in attendance. We got a free "Saw II" poster for attending.
And then we left.
I felt no excitement, no comraderie, no sense of community. It wasn't a convention, it was a comic-themed Swap Meet.
Emerald City Comic Con can't get here fast enough as far as I'm concerned!
