Today's Dork Tower is up...



Click here, there or anywhere to see it.

This was for those folks who complain Matt puts up with too much of Igor being, well, Igor.

A brief photo essay on CONvergence 2008. Until I can actually write down a proper essay.

Oddest thing I came away from the con with: the nickname "Bring Me My Wimmin!" As in: John "Bring Me My Wimmin!" Kovalic. And, yes, I have no idea why. This moniker was bestowed by Eryn and Amanda (who, as usual, were totally brilliant in the Iron Artist panel as Japanese pop-star Heidi Fujiyama and her manager Sama- see below).



Both my signings were with Peter Mayhew, AKA Chewbacca. You may have heard of this little movie he was in? Anyway, he's utterly charming, and the only guest I've ever seen who's taller than me. By quite a bit, I might add. What a great time that was. HOT DAMN, this photo is great. I hope I meet Peter again, as I'd love for him to sign a copy of this.



I also love it when people come to signings dressed as Dork Tower characters. Gilly, indeed!



Plus, did I mention Best Power Girl Costume EVAR?


( Quite a bit more madness behind the cut )

And so it ends...for another year, anyway.



What's left but to scream "FIVE DAYS!", and mention that I'm totally serious about getting an exchange program going between CONvergence and Warpcon!

I am so making a return trip to CONvergence in 2009! Who from Warpcon is coming over with me? and who from CONvergence is going to Cork, Ireland with me in January?
