  • HNG Podcast – 2013 Comic Con Part 1

    DSC01033

    I’ve been recovering from a gnarly Comic Con cold (stoopid germs) all week so I’m running a bit behind on my Comic Con wrap-up posts. Stay tuned for a post that’ll include pictures and more details on the panels, but in the meantime, Darcy and I recorded a podcast where I go through my entire Comic Con experience very, very quickly. Talking about 4 days worth of awesomeness in an hour is apparently too much for the blog to handle so we had to split it up into two posts.

    In Part 1 we discuss meeting Brent Spiner again, Thursday’s Sherlock, X-Files, and Brave New Warriors panels in Ballroom 20, and Friday’s The World’s End, Veronica Mars, and Kick-Ass 2/Riddick panels in Hall H.

    Check out Part 2 of the podcast coming right atcha!

  • San Diego Comic Con 2013 Thursday Shenanigans

    It’s Day One of San Diego Comic Con 2013 and somehow I always manage to forget just HOW insane it is. So. Many. People. It’s always super stressful but it’s also so much fun.

    I decided to dress like Han Solo and my nephew just happened to wear his Jedi costume so we were pretty much perfect together. It’s like we’re not just related but we’re psychically linked as well.

    After sitting into a crapload of traffic (thank God I picked up my badge on Wednesday night), I finally pulled into the hotel that will be my home for the next few days. I got there too late to join Geek Outlaw in the Ballroom 20 line but I managed to get into the Sherlock, X-Files 20th Anniversary, and Brave New Warriors panels. I spent the rest of the morning hanging out with my friend Brett at his booth (L-07) and my brother, sister-in-law and nephew. We also visited artists Lord Mesa and Patrick Ballesteros in row DD of Artists Alley.

    I’ll do a more in-depth wrap-up later but in the meantime, here are some of today’s highlights…

  • HNG Podcast: Pre-Comic Con Confab Conversation…thing.

    hot-nerd-girl-batgirl-10

    Welcome to the 3rd HNG podcast!
    In this Pre-Com Con Con Con, Darcy and I discuss my plans for San Diego Comic Con including what costumes I’ll be wearing, what panels I’ll be camping out for, and what artists/booths I’ll be visiting. It’s a much briefer podcast, clocking in at approximately 24 minutes.

    We’ll do a wrap-up podcast next week once the madness is over.

    If you’re going to Comic Con and you see me, please be sure to say Hi! I will likely be dressed as:
    Thursday: Han Solo
    Friday: an HNG t-shirt
    Saturday: Captain Malcolm Reynolds
    Sunday: the 10th Doctor
    I will also be spending some time each day (exact time TBD – I’ll tweet it and put it on the facebook page whenever I’m there) at Booth L-07 where my extremely talented artist friend (and HNG logo designer) Brett DeWall has a booth. I’ll have calendars and stickers and pins and all kinds of fun stuff. So, y’all come on down now, ya hear?
