Watched two more movies last night. Here's the recap:

King Kong: Waaaaaaaay too long. Bloated, outdated, empty, forgettable.

Good night and good luck: Short, concise, current, relevant. American politics have ran a full circle in 40 years, and today they are exactly where McCarthy left.

They will be just 50% off after 10am and all sunday.

A big boo to the failure of ConNoBaka, leaving atendees, dealers and volunteers stranded.

Big cheers to the three lifesavers that planned to have fun at the con and ended up helping me pack my booth in a hurry: archangeli, darthmarysue and writerz_bloc. Dunno what would have done without them ( Read more... )

It is a bit of a gamble being a first-time con, but even if the attendance numbers are so-so it will be nice to see there whoever decides to go ( Read more... )
