The mass exodus of Comic Con 2008 |
Posted by Barbara Vey on July 28, 2008 | Comments (19)
Welcome back, or good luck at RWA, Barb! Hope you transition well, as far as sleep & energy matter! Have a great trip!
Just reading about Comic-Con left me exhausted--I don't know how you managed! I, too, am a fan of Greg Rucka's novels and I read an interview about his comic book writing, which left me wondering if that's why there was something like a seven-year wait between his Atticus Kodiak books. Maybe he had character burnout?
Oh, and you should have told those gasping comic book fans that if they haven't read Greg Rucka's books, they have no idea what true excitement they were missing! :)
Christine, those Rucka fans barely let me yell that I read his novels. It was really scary. But I agree, I love Atticus and they don't know what they're missing. :)
I'm certainly exhausted just imagining your adventures. Good for you! The Buffy sing-along is hysterically funny; I'd love it. I know every word.
Try to get a bit of rest before the next big event.
Well I know you're tired but hope you had a great time and that you are not too tired to enjoy RWA. Rest up as much as you can... I'm living vicariously. :D
Barb, sounds like a narrow escape on the "I didn't know he wrote comic books." Whew! Sleep all you can. RWA can keep you running (do workshops to get a break, lol.)
I'm so jealous...just to show how much I would have loved to have been there, I have to do a fangirl correction: Joss Whedon, not Josh. Thanks for reporting back, Barb!
OMG!!! Jonathan Frakes!!! Buffy heavan...I am soooo jealous. Hope you have as good a time this week in San Fran with us romance gals.
WOW! Sounds like such fun, but I would need a nap everyday. I would love to have been there for the Buffy Musical. I love that they are going to make it a tradition.
Wow Barbara--such wonderful contacts & videos you pass on to us! Your blog makes my day! Have a great time in San Francisco!
I hope you get some good rest before RWA! Looking forward to your National Convention blogs now. You travel the world for us, Barb :)
Cassie, thanks for the correction. I say it wrong constantly and my son is always telling me it's Joss. I'll correct it now. :)
I love Buffy! Thanks for calling me while you were there. I could feel the excitement thru the phone lines!
I said I would find your blogs and respond to them. This one first of course. Sunday was my first day and unfortunately my only day at comicon, but it was definitely a highlight of the year for me. Meeting a certain Dark-Hunter author there was an added bonus that became the highlight of my evening. Meeting a contributing editor for publisher's weekly wasn't half bad either. Especially one who seemed to like Buffy as much as I. Overall Comicon was amazing and definitely something I plan to do again and again, perhaps in costume one day.
One of us...One of us...Gobble Gobble... I wasn't there, but I have been, and I know how it feels to slog through conventions... towards the end, you're wondering, "Is there anything I should look at one last time?" Don't worry about the comicbook fans... while I enjoy romance, I don't read it unless superhero related (Julie Kenner's Aphrodite books), or had an interesting hook (Outlander, Mary Gentry). For years, my friends were aghast that I hadn't seen Pulp Fiction. I countered with "Have you seen Citizen Kane?" That usually shut them up. Still, when dealing with hordes of fanboys, it's usually good to have some free comics to toss so that you can make your getaway. Glad you survived!
I would love to see Buffy the Musical. What a great way to end the conference.
Buffy meets Rocky Horror. Can you have more fun?
