Holy crap its August already...
Really?
Anyway...
Con was awesome, however it does not look like we will be going back next year, or anytime soon unless they unfuckup their prices and way to get tickets.
Its fun and all, but I didn't want to be in line at 3am to try to pay more to get in next year.
That's just shitty.
And my knee went out of whack again so it was pretty damn tough getting around the bigass center and surrounding areas. Luckily I brought my brace, but still a pub crawl is not fun when your crawling not from drunkenness, but from mind numbing pain...
But not all was horrid. Got to stop by the SG booth and meet some awesome people and get the comics (signed even!). Got my annual hentai grab bag from J-List. Was able to sit in on the Dr. Who panel. Also w00tstock 3.0 was just fucking amazing. So I guess over all the journey was OK, but we left the convention with a bad taste in my mind. Its just gotten too big and too out of hand.
So were looking at going to WonderCon or mayhaps Dragon*Con. I'd Like to do APE but don't think that my wife or her sister are really into that. So shit, looks like we are going to go whole hog at the local cons and hope for the best.
That's if we can afford it...
Anyone know a job my wife (ex-school librarian/comicstore clerk) can get?

I really don't think I could handle SDCC. I stopped going to Dragon*Con when it got to the point where I couldn't reasonably expect to get into panels I wanted to see.
