Conventional Travel
Posted Sep 7, 2011 - 8:03:13

I know I said on Thursday that I would return to my normal blogging schedule this week, but apparently I didn't manage to do that. Ah well, I at least had the best of intentions.

In any case, this weekend Crysta and I are headed northwards towards our homeland of Wisconsin for the fifth annual Geek.kon in Madison. Geek.kon is one of my favorite conventions, so I'm rather excited. It's also a chance for us to socialize with our Wisconsin friends, which is not something we have that many opportunities to do these days.

I don't know if you've noticed, but I really like conventions. Maybe my webcomic tipped you off or something. There is an energy to them that is just fun in ways I don't think you can find in many other places in daily life.

In other words, they're fun.

I'm not vending at Geek.kon, mostly because back when they had open tables I wasn't sure if I would be able to get enough materials to sell by then. For 2012 cons I plan to be more on the ball, I promise. I have plans to try to get into a few specific cons, but I find myself camping on websites, impatiently loading, hoping Artist Alley and Vendor details will soon become available on those sites... but until then, I wait.

To move back to current events though, I will be walking around Geek.kon this year in one of my Bork Con shirts, so you should say hello to me if you see me.

...and I might just have a couple copies of UnCONventional Chapter One on me if you ask me about them nicely enough.

In any case, Conventions are good. I'll also be attending a few other conventions this year, including LEXPO in Lafayette, IN (where I live), and there's an 80% chance of my showing up at Daisho Con this year barring any work snags (as that's our busiest time of year).
