I'm baaaaack!
Jun. 25th, 2007 08:23 pmQuick list in lieu of a real con diary:
1) Got home at 7, just got back from obtaining dinner. No one was killed in our flight from Tennessee to Maryland, although I did threaten the lives of several drivers along the way.
2) From I-40 to Route 340, Route 11 apparently intersects I-83 North 27 1/2 times. (The 1/2 is the route that led you to Rt. 11.)
3) I know what happens in Issue 5 of Gargoyles (guess what the radio play was). BUY ISSUE 5 WHEN IT COMES OUT IN AUGUST. I'm not telling you what happens, it's awesome. (And if they make good on their threats, you can also see me attempting to read Owen Burnett on YouTube in August.)
4) The Grand Resort and Convention Center in Pigeon Forge fails. The attendees of the Gathering OWN their asses in terms of mobilizing and saving merchandise from leaking ceilings.
5) Carmine was indeed a big hit and he is now perched on the back of my couch. If I can figure out a safe way to get him to G2008, I will. (Probably will have to mail him, well-packaged and insured.)
6) G2008 will be in Chicago, IL the weekend of June 27-30. I am already pre-registered. Save your pennies, people! (The G08 website is still under construction, give them a few weeks, I don't think Susan is back yet from G2007. We had to skip out on Closing Ceremonies.) Spread the word!
7) The news on Season 2, Volume 2 is thus: TELL PEOPLE TO BUY VOLUME 1. Disney is NOT planning on releasing it all together in a box set, and they are basically holding Volume 2 hostage because they're not happy with Volume 1's sales. Also, Greg W has gone through 5 managers in charge of the project, which isn't helping. Tell your friends, tell your acquaintances, tell them NOT to wait on a boxed set. The only way to get Volume 2 is to SERIOUSLY boost Volume 1 sales. Which isn't easy 'cause Amazon is the most likely place to find Season 2, Volume 1. But that's it.
8) SLG is putting out a 6-issue "Gargoyles: Bad Guys" miniseries sometime later this year. Karine Charlebois* is drawing it and Greg is writing it. Keep your eyes peeled. If you want to post promotional material at your local comic book shop, go to the SLG website and contact them asking for a PDF with which to promote the Gargoyles comic. Issue #5 IS coming out in August! The comic is back on a bi-monthly schedule, and when "Bad Guys" comes out, there should be a new book out every month.
9) I need to play catch-up on the friends list now. Going to do that immediately. :)
*For those not in the fandom, Karine, unlike certain previous artists on the book, knows how to draw the characters!
