An apology and some geekiness. Also hamburgers.

1.  I wanted to apologize for not blogging more often.  I was telling a friend last night that I haven’t been blogging much lately because my life hasn’t really been any different.  Who wants to hear about how many pairs of boxer shorts I put in the washing machine?  But by all means keep me bookmarked and tell your friends because I’ll post every now and then as events warrant or if I just find something that needs to be blogged about.

2.  We went to Comicpalooza yesterday.

Things I liked:

• Steampunk.  I’ve always kind of kept an eye on it and thought it was cool.  I may have to pick up a top hat and goggles.  You know, to wear to Target and HEB.
• Meeting the After Twilight folks.     Even if you’re not into comics, if Texas’ pseudo-theocratic state government scares the hell out of you, you might give this one a look.
• General geekery.  It was nice to not stick out like a sore thumb.

Things I’d like to see improve:

• I’d like to see some actual fantasy authors there in addition to the comic artists.  George R. R. Martin seems to do everything but finish ASOIAF – I bet he’d come if they asked him.   Kevin Hearne would also kick ass.
• More gamer stuff.  Period.  I know Comicpalooza is still pretty new, but the video games were noticeably lacking.

3.  We hit Bernie’s Burger Bus after the con.  I live for burgers and I have to say this was the finest hot beef sandwich I have ever purchased from a converted school bus.  Follow the usual Facebook/Twitter procedures to find out where they are from day to day.

4.  In keeping with the spirit of the blog: I didn’t pass at ALL yesterday.  Seriously.  Not once.  I really thought that was odd as I’ve gotten rather broader in the shoulders and narrower in the face.

Ok.  Blog is over for today.  See you next time.
