So much goodness in the last few days, I hardly have the bladder to contain it all.
So, first off, I went to my first viewing of Livewire Radio. It’s the best thing ever. I filmed a their Give!Guide promo videos this last season, and as pay I get to see some shows. They are amazing. AMAZING! You should go out and see them. See all of them. When time travel is developed, the best use of it should be to go back and watch all their shows.
I wanted to put a major plug in here for the upcoming comicbook and pulp culture convention that is happening in Portland on May 14th and 15th. Wonder Northwest is the premiere comic book and pop culture expo featuring all the best things about all that stuff under one room with coolness added in. Dark Horse comics and Things From Another World are part of an ever growing list of people, such as Tim Seeley (HACK/SLASH), Paul Guinan (Boilerplate), Anina Bennett (Heartbreakers), as well as Kaijucast, Cort & Fatboy, PDX Yar, The Alter Ego Society, and the ever popular Billy Galaxy. It’s star studded. It’s spectacle. It has it all. To top it all off, The Last Stand will have it’s world debut on DVD.
As far as freaking out over art, I am just gushing over this. Mike Dringenberg is one of the original artists that worked on Sandman with Neil Gaiman. He was the inker, then became the penciler, and helped to create the beloved character Death. He was at Stumptown comicbook show this weekend, and I met him. He drew me a beautiful original Sandman while we talked over coffee, solved the worlds problems, and discussed gear head topics in road biking. I was in awe!
OK, next post is about work, I promise.
