I went to New York Anime Fest and found some castle crashers.
They were pretty fabulous, for a bunch of bucketheads.

I hate photoshop.
Stumbling across this picture is going to give me so many nightmares.

So I rocked out at San Diego! I made Luis's picture post once again (sober, for once!) one with Mike and one with my buddy Laura whose personality is just as rock awesome as her giant hot pink mohawk. I was sad that I didn't get to hang out with her more..this was my third san diego trip and my 16th con, so I spent a lot of time in the pool/ hot tub. I'll get my nerd on a little more at Baltimore Comic Con.
I met Stan Lee!!!!!!
He hit on me a little?
All of my feminist impulses were put aside because he created Spiderman, X-Men, The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Dr Strange and so many other reasons why when I got a picture with him and somebody yelled "She's going to sit in your lap!".....
He created Iron Man, dude. IRON MAN.
somewhere in someone else's camera there is a picture of me on stanta clause's lap and I want it.
Other than that there are many empty mojito glasses in my wake. I could namedrop all the people I hung out with but it makes me feel phony. I was like Pac Man except I ate mojitos instead of dots.
In other news, I think I may have been roomed randomly with a girlie girl at college for my sophomore year. She'll probably be just fine, she'll just have to adjust to living with a girl 3 years her senior with a closet full of swords, nunchucks, comic books, and porn. And scary leather boots.
Maybe I should start a betting pool for how long this lasts. If I decide to put a gay pride flag in my room, I'll cut everyone's times in half :-D.
I MET LASAGNA CAT OH MY GOD YOU MUST BE SO JEALOUS. I found him first then I got him to meet Doodle, Mike, and finally Tom with the fulpness.
CAT BRUUUSH!!!

Loads of crap in store for comic con! At 6pm tomorrow I board the plane with Mike, April, Bob, and Dia for one hell of a weekend.
Wednesday:
Swim, loiter, and eat until I can get my pro badge. I will be very busy not setting up a booth because I do not have an exhibitor leash. I mean badge. Buahaha. Probably getting lunch with a pirate or something. Maybe chill with people on the bendis boards (the reason I don't post much on the bbs here, haha.)
Thursday:
I'm volunteering at the Marvel V.S. DC softball game benifitting the Hero Initiative. Stop by the Mile High Comics/ Hero booth and get a ticket-comic creators/ artists/ editors playing softball is a must see. Jim Lee is a BEAST. Then I get to see my crazy go awesome brother and eat lebanese food.
Friday:
Running a signing from 10-11 for spacedog. doing a shift at the hero booth. Meeting with my overlords at Kingdom Comics. Loiter loiter, drink drink.
Saturday:
I think this is when the MS3k panel is happening? Running a signing from 11:00-12:30 for spacedog, another shift at the hero booth.
Sunday: Kids day. Yeah um...I'm going to the beach. See ya, kids. I will show up in the last hour of con or so to say goodbye.
retail goals:
-Batman everything. Mostly a purse and a tank top.
-Freshmen summer special book! Oh that series is so GOOD!!
-Zatanna issue one.
-something positive merch and questionable content T-shirts!
general goal:
-kick ass and chew bubblegum. AND I'M ALL OUT OF BUBBLEGUM.
I am aware that the Dark Knight was awesome and of course I saw it, but screw all the haters I really loved Hellboy II.
*edit* HOLY HELL I WAS JUST GIVEN THE TASK OF CHAPERONING A BOAT CRUISE WITH STAN LEE!! eeeee!!

This is my third year going to SDCC. I think this will probably be my FAVORITE year going to SDCC. Ya know why?
NO BOOTH :-D!
Granted I still gotta weasel a badge out of somebody so I can go say hello to everyone, but at some point I'm going to stretch out on the beach with an umbrella'd drink.
I will probably loiter at Nigel's booth because he is quite possibly my favorite pirate artist of all time.
This is also my first year going to san diego con with someone else. Actually this is the first time I've even gone to a CON with someone else (I've been to 14). Most of the time I'm a loner that meets people in random locations then rides off into the sunset.
But this time I'm going to be hopping a plane with the NG crew. For once I don't have to crunch awkwardly into my coach seat next to a stranger, I can just annoyingly invade Mike's personal space!
The challenge...making sure all of my work shifts are covered.
The metal gear collab looks pretty sweet.
I did a mitzvah this week (although some people would disagree) and got the staff watching baman-piderman. It's on the front page now. Heehee.
I'm plugging the sumosacs as well because they are fucking fabulous and I like to eat snacks while I recline in fluffy foam.
I have these boots on layaway. I'm putting $50 down tommorow. $50 more after that and then they are so mine..

Woo I'm late with my updates! You try waking up in a hotel room in NYC the morning you have to be in work at Philly at 11am on sunday then working three twelve hour shifts consecutively.
I was only ten minutes late because I'm pretty goddamn cool.
The whole weekend was pretty awesome, with chinese food and copious amounts of beer at the NG office on thursday. It was Tim and Rob's birthdays! Friday I had some shit I hadta do, but then I made an irrational decision at 11pm that night to go to two conventions in New York.
So I went to MoCCA and Big Apple Con. I love hanging out with April n' Vagins because I never seem to drink girlie drinks otherwise. Just miles and miles of beer, which will eventually cause me to poof. Shoutout to Tom, because he finances my drunken delinquency on occasion. He and the boys had a lot of Martinis. I don't know how people unflavor those things man. Keep olives in my oil and away from my drinks. Luis bought these goddamn delicious biscotti shots. There were a lot of other people there that were awesome but I really don't feel like writing them all down. I still love you.
It's been almost a week since this adventure and my liver is still waving a white flag. I'm gonna let it rest up for awhile.
In other news I work for Disney now, but I have not quit my sex shop gig. So my resume reflects pure irony.
Mike is cute. Have you hugged your Mike today?
APRIL I LOVE YOUU!!

Achieve photosynthesis.
Seriously, I want to be able to not eat and just sit outside for a couple hours a day and drink water.
Then teach the world how to do it.
Then solve world hunger.
God it'd save so much money if I didn't have to buy food!
And it's ideas like this that tell me why I shouldn't read existential philosophy while tanning.
C'est la vie.
Someone posted a cute picture of me on facebook from a gay pride-ish event.
I'm probably the most outspoken female gay rights activist on campus that doesn't nail women.

Ahh New York Comic con! With all of the planning stress out of the way, i can focus on the positives in the form of bullets!
-I got to meet a shitload of people on the Jinxworld forums!
-Saw some awesome live music including Americans UK . Favorite songs included Zombies Attack and Innapropriate Words to your Mother. The frontman was one hell of a stylistic funkmaster in a cape. Rock with funk overtones-some of my favorite. I was priveleged to have seen them.
-I WAVED AT NEIL PATRICK HARRIS!
-Harrassed Seth Green and chatted with Hugh Sterbakov (of the AWESOME comic Freshmen). Seth bought a box of Ninja Turtle action figures and hugged them. He is such a cutie.
-Bought a mimobot!!. Soo cute!!
-Got drunk off my ass with many, many free choice drinks. Car bombs, whiskey, and Guiness oh my!! And yes, this required more epic bouncer ducking on my part. None of my hired volunteers could get in but for some reason I convinced them?
coughcoughihaveboobshooraycough
-24 hour white castle next to the hotel. Saving throw to my lushiness.
-Splitting a bottle of wine with my new buddy James Farr and re-arranging things in the 24 hour Duane Reade while narrating everything in a movie theater voice.
IN A WORLD...WHERE NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS...BLACK IS WHITE...UP IS DOWN....AND THE DIAPERS GO OVER HERE...
James has a son named Vector Prime Farr. Yeah. Like the transformer. He calls him 'Vectorbug' on the phone. It's awesome.
-Awesome artist Mike Choi apparently reads my blog!!! Now i need to post even MORE often. He's fabulous!
Here's a Pic of Americans UK
I love New Yaaaak.

Heyyyyy random NG people plus mikenbobnlisa and whoever else I actually know that reads this!
New York Comic Con is this weekend! I'm super nervous because this is the first convention I've ever been convention manager for-if anything messes up it's my fault! I'm having nightmares about missed table deliveries and other stupid things, haha. But lots of super fun things are going on! Hugh Sterbakov and Seth Green are coming!! Hugh writes one of the most awesome comics ever, Freshmen and Seth Green..well y'know. But he also does a lot of creative work behind Freshmen. Both of them are fucking awesome/ adorable. Hugh is literally a tower of creative talent (he's like somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 feet tall almost). If I could write comedy like him...my heart would forever sing...
But yeah, crazy nervous adrenaline happening for me. All of my buddies from the Jinxworld Forums are going to be there, too. I love them dearly, if you are a comic geek and want to talk on an intelligent forum, go seek out jinxworld. We're lovely people.
In other news, my parents bought Mike and I EDDIE IZZARD tickets! Yayyyyy!!!
Wicked excited about everything, and if you happen to be coming to con stop by the Spacedog booth! We're awesome!
Here's an old pic of me n' seth n' hugh plus an artist. Seth is humping me leg-RIBALDRY!

I went to see an excellent concert with Mike.
Man Man and the Extraordinaires kicked ass!! The dirty projectors, not so much but wow gooo Man Man! Soo good! They are a really eccentric and awesome band that acts as kind of a percussive buffet for the ears. They wear all white and facepaint when they perform. There was a guy in a gorilla suit dancing around the band. The band ran around with sparklers and weird pvc hoses they spun in the air from time to time. The Extrordinairs kicked ass too. The lead singer/guitarist has a shark shaped guitar. Apparently they live in a car and hand print most of their cd's. Super super indie. I like listening to the indie music pissing contests people have at these concerts. I also like picking out people who look like characters in questionable content.
YAY MAN MAN! Check their myspace for tour dates, they're all over the place so you should go see 'em.
We danced and then got some excellent sandwiches at a diner, which for some reason was hosting a birthday party at 1:00 in the morning for a large indian family. Also our waitor switched places with a waitress because he wanted to play Linux Texas Hold 'em.
Here's a picture of the geniuses...I almost love them more than kaizers...
