ECCC In Short

Too late, need to force myself in to bed... but the highlights reel of my Emerald City Comic Con experience:
  • Got interviewed by and quoted in The Seattle Times!
  • Impressed geeks with my "Posse" of Teenage Girl Star Trek Fans!
  • Excused myself from the Dwayne McDuffie Memorial Panel because I was uncontrollably sobbing!
  • Had a real "Santa Claus" moment with a bunch of 5-to-7-year-old kids!
  • Impressed Johnathan Frakes with my suggestion for his proposed Sci-Fi Sitcom!
  • Had a semi-long conversation with local talk radio personality BJ Shea!
  • Adopted a second non-blood Niece!
  • Had a GREAT conversation with Sergio Aragones!
  • Pimped the HECK out of Neal Bailey's Cura Te Ipsum web comic!
  • Hated the damn music the damn kids were blasting in the big conference room along with Tina!
  • Didn't officially see The Buffy Sing-A-Long because it didn't actually happen because we didn't have clearance from Fox and we didn't all have an AWESOME TIME not singing along because, like I said, it never happened, and we all just stood in a room together in silence for about an hour!
  • Finally met [livejournal.com profile] aurora77 and followed through with exactly ZERO of my plans to take advantage of round-robin seat-saving!
  • Made two mistakes in judgement re: which panels to attend. However, every other decision of the convention was dead-on PERFECT!
  • Ate so many free SoyJoy Snack Bars that I wanted to SoyPuke!
  • John Munn of Comic Book Ink provided me with an instant collection of Buffy and Angel comics at the excellent last-minute-of-the-con price of just 25-cents per book!
  • Met teenage girls dressed up as Bill & Ted!
  • Bought the head of a Cyberman!
  • Bought a Delorean!
  • Got to just walk around my favorite convention with my favorite wife!

I'll probably expand on at least a few of those points later...

Is the Seattle times quote online? Did you say anything about crushing your enemies?

I do enjoy me some lamentations of their wimmin and children, that's for sure!

Posted the link to my quotes over on Facebook, let's see... http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2014412646_comicon06m.html

Looks better in print :)
