I just posted a very amusing story over on LJ that those on my friends list should definitely check out – you’ll laugh, I promise! I can’t talk about it here due to the public nature of this blog, but it’s private on LJ, which is why it’s there.
Anyway, this weekend was really fun and very tiring! We attended the first (reincarnated) ACE con downtown at the Hyatt. We got there late Saturday due to my insomnia issues, but it was OK since the Dealers Room was the biggest attraction for us anyway. The con was just fair, but for $15 bucks, it was well worth it. We see a lot of potential if Pat Henry and the DragonCon empire doesn’t fuck it up. The big star they got was Rosario Dawson of Sin City fame. She’s now collaborating on OCT, a comic being published by 12 Gauge.
We head out to Decatur for the Art House umbrella show. The Art House space is very small and the Umbrella Show was only about a dozen items, so we were only there for about half an hour. We continued on to Doo Gallery for the Sci Fi a Go-Go show by Blast Off Burlesque.
