Why do I do that to myself?
Yeah... 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!
