I’m off to Wondercon
My apologies for not posting anything recently but things are super busy. I did see Draft Day the other night and have some funny thoughts on it but I am scrambling to pack shirts for the amazing Wondercon in Anaheim, California. If you are going to be there stop by our booth (1541) and say hi (or at least talk to some of the girls I hired to work the booth).
When I get back I’m going to throw myself into blogging big time, at least until the next big show creeps up on me. I have about 8 hours of driving to do today and that’s the easy part. Tons of movies to see coming up so look for more reviews shortly, plus my fascinating recap of all the Star Trek episodes, like this gem Space Seed. I pulled this shirt from our Star Trek t shirt collection and plan to wear it at the show. I just wish I had more time for cosplay as I have a couple of really good ideas.
Seriously if you are a reader and are going to be at Wondercon stop by. I would love to speak with you and find out if what I am writing is hitting anyone or if I am tilting at windmills. Have a great week and speak to you soon.

Super Geek dinner
So I had dinner tonight with five of my friends. Two couples, me as 5th wheel (a position I am very familiar with) and my friend John as sixth. One of my friends was interviewing for a job and discussed a couple of the working problems they asked her. They were very scientific questions (hence my showing my most scientific t shirt from the cheap t shirts section) and the whole conversation quickly devolved into the nerdiest non-comic book discussion I have had in a long time.
Needless to say, I was enjoying it immensely, but my poor friend Cathy (non-nerd, but married to an engineer nerd) was more or less in hell. It’s easy to forget how non-nerds can suffer. But given the years she spent as a “cool kid” in high school I really can’t spare much sympathy for her.
Anyway, getting ready for WonderCon. My biggest problem is if I will have enough money to get my credit card reading machine hooked up. I might be cash only again, which will suck. I spent all my money on new t shirts (had another six or so arrive today. I’m falling behind on my uploading of new shirts).
That’s it for now. I have more t shirt work to do. Talk to you all later.
