It hasn't been a month!

Do I get points? I think I should get points. Points for everyone, on the house!

Last weekend, I went to MidSouthCon in Memphis. What a blast! Have you ever been to a fantasy convention? No? GO! Go immediately. I should have taken a camera. The number of outstanding costumes floored me. And I spent way too much money in the vendor room buying cool books and a silver dragon holding a blue stone (necklace), and a load of t-shirts (for my family). And I looked at all the REAL swords and axes, and the first-edition comics, never MIND all the figurines and and and...kaff, kaff. Okay, sorry. I'm a big fantasy and science fiction fan, as you might have noticed.

Seriously, MidSouth Con was a blast. I especially liked the three-day long movie festival with Star Wars, and Curse of the WereRabbit, and Martian Chronicals, and Rocky Horror. I also thought the panels were great, and particularly enjoyed speaking on the Science of Harry Potter. It was interesting to think about what "magic" reflected in the Harry Potter books might in fact be visionary, might one day become real life (like so much of the magical technology in the original Star Trek series).

And, before I went out of town, my friend Missy the Weird was kind enough to warn me that I'm in serious trouble with. . .er. . .higher authorities.



What are weird friends for, anyway?
