No, seriously, it is ABSOLUTELY too hot. This is actually what I’m blaming the whole not getting comics drawn fiasco on (well, that and hosting several panels). It’s hard to make with the art when you can barely sit up[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Well, here it is, gang! Otakon’s last go ’round in Baltimore! Conventional Wisdom’s been covering Otakon at the BCC since 2008, so it’s gonna feel REALLY weird heading heading to the heart of DC after this. And more importantly, who’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Complaining about trying to drive in Baltimore is nothing new, and it’s not gonna stop until Otakon finally moves. But seriously, I don’t think I’ve EVER seen that many accidents on one single road trip. Death Race 2000 had fewer[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Don’t act like you haven’t thought about this… and by “this” I clearly mean loosing altitude on our giant flying N64 controller. I think we’ve all confronted that at least once in our lives. (Historical Notes: Geez, Past Me, I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
First of all, I need to confess that I generally avoid non-con staff on general principle, so this didn’t actually happen to ME. However, every convention I go to, I hear new horror stories about how rude and unhelpful the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Holy flying Buddha monkeys, Baltimore! What the expletive is WRONG with you?!?!?!?!? I mean, I grew up on the hellish roadways of ATLANTA and even I thought the traffic was absurd! People just pulling in and out, and even backing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
