Merp.
Saturday was spent at SuperNerdCon 2004.
Every year on this weekend the Orlando Convention center hosts these same four conventions...
(from east to west in center)
(1) Surfing Expo
(2) Fellowship of Christian Cheerleaders
(3) Comic / Sci-fi Convention
(4) Coin / Collectibles Expo
Unfortunately i did not have the required $10.000.00 US to buy everything that i required (one surfboard... several levels of imperial japanese order of the rising sun... a love life)
however i did pick up some old party buttons... one silver coin from the wreck of the Santa Maria De La Consolacion and tomorrow i will return for massive amounts of airline memorabilia which i am enamoured with...
the sci-fi / comic convention was rather dismal.. there was only ONE man dressed in tie-fighter garb and one lady dressed as Batwoman... and a pathetic ONE guy dressed as Neo...
most of the booths consisted of (a) wacky japanese stuff... hahaha those wacky japanese (b) blades... glamdring.. anduril... random vampire movie daggers.. samurai swords and various other types of slicing implemets (c) goofy simpsons and comic collectibles (i was tempted to buy a danger girl statuette until i realized how stupid it would be to waste money on a figure of a comic book character when i am poor and my money would be better spent on alcohol and gambling...) (d) cool lord of the rings / matrix toys (e) total useless crap
although it was not a total waste... they had a replica Black Knight Helmet from Monty Python and the Holy Grail... and a replica of the crown / helmet worn by Arthur King of the Britons and while I wandered around that area i heard at least one or two people exclaim "she turned me into a newt.. i got better"... and "where'd ya get the coconuts?"...
also there were several old wrinkly bond girls with (sadly) nobody lining up for their autographs (though one or two had nude photos for sale...
) because everyone was standing in like for an autograph from JAWS...
who is totally adoreable in person.
the christian cheerleaders were actively avoided on my part though they were everywhere and frightenly aggressive little girls... like wandering packs of ninja velociraptors stalking their prey across the veldt...
but i escaped them.
the surf convention also is not worth talking about though it makes me hunger for warmer weather that i might go to the beach again...
all in all a very good day.
(also... i saw a spiffy toy from the Dune movie.. it was a rather worthless looking spice harvester beign sold for $50)
