Los Angeles, here I come

I am going to take a break from dating advice tonight (I am planning a few good ones over the next couple days related to dating on a budget, a subject I am particularly experienced in) and talk briefly about some cool upcoming shows I will be working at.  They are both in the greater Los Angeles and are two consecutive weekends, so in order to reduce my driving and increase my stress and insanity level, I will be staying at my mother’s house for at least three days going completely stir crazy and absorbing about a pack a day in contact smoke, if you know what I mean.

The first event is the Long Beach Comic Book Convention on Oct. 29th-31sth in lovely Long Beach, CA.  I will be staying at my sisters house in Belmont, which will be fine as long as we don’t talk about politics.  The show is supposed to be pretty good, and I will be running the booth by myself, so if you are in the area stop by and watch me going insane trying to keep up with the customers and trying to not go to the restroom for 8 hours a day (Green Lantern image courtesy of the comic book t-shirt category).

Also, since the event is on Halloween stop by on the 31st and I will have a bucket of candy for you or your kids.

I then go to my mom’s house, which will be great for the first day and a half and probably drive me nuts for the next two days.  Still, it will be great to see her again, and three days of free food is not to be laughed at.

Then, my friends over at Creation Entertainment are running three shows for the price of one on Nov. 5-9th down near LAX.  The three shows are Farscape, Stargate, and Firefly/Buffy/Angel/Dollhouse show (basically a Joss Whedon-athon).  I am a hard core fan of all three, and am really excited to be there.  My good friend Liz will be there with me as she is also a huge fan and will be bringing down a number of additional shirts I just ordered earlier today.  All shows and genres will be fairly represented.  I will be staying in a hotel for that one and enjoying it’s amenities to the fullest extent.

Speaking of Joss Whedon, by the way, I am a couple days from getting my interview with Danny Nero, a stand in who worked on Firefly, Serenity, Angel, and any number of other amazing shows and moves, done and put up on this blog.  He is giving me some great stuff on the cast, working with Joss, and working in the film industry.  Stay tuned for it.
