Make it so:
Yesterday was Thanksgiving so I ate a bunch of fried items and also homemade pie at my neighbor's house and it was hella good. I also drank myself retarded, so I was surprised and pretty impressed with myself when I got out of my jammies and headed up to Burbank for this sci-fi con thing that was going on.
See, I had to cancel my Thanksgiving weekend trip because of work and so I was left with not much to do for the day following the holiday, because I figured that a) I would be too hung over/stuffed with food/freaked out by holiday sales to do anything and b) who the hell wants to go anywhere that involves retail on the day after Thanksgiving? It's creepy. So I said, "dubya tee eff mayte" and went off to the convention center.
Since this was my first sci-fi con, I was a little concerned about what I would encounter there. I mean, I'm a veteran of at least 12 major comic-cons but a pure sci-fi con is different. I was prepared for extreme nerdiness, but I wasn't prepared for the sheer number of furries or the positively vast number of comic book guy clones. Everyone was really nice, though, so it was all good. And by all good, I mean all geeky.
The evening was spent having dinner with Wil, who thankfully helped to rescue me from the clutches of a very well-meaning but slightly stalkeresque conference attendee. We endured some painfully slow service and fortunately received some tasty food items, and then decided we hadn't had enough and gorged on some fresh Krispy Kremes before adjourning to the last panel of the evening.
I, of course, had to excuse myself halfway through because I got a phone call from zerogaugearizonian. Obviously, I get calls from hot motherfuckers all the time, so it ain't no thang. Anyway, since this was the second hottie call of the evening, clearly it was time for me to be corralled by another ubergeek, so I ended up talking to one and sticking around till the bitter end of the last panel of the evening. Thanks turbogeeks!
Anyway, now I'm utterly exhausted and must sleep. However, I would just like to say, for the record, Best. Scifi Con. Evar.
Until the next one.
Teh comix, oh how I laugh and laugh
