If I’ve learned anything from the 5th Annual Spokane Comicon, it’s that I can’t drink like I used to and Nathan puts on one fine show. Arrived in Spokane Friday night before the ‘Con on Saturday. It all started easily enough. Joined by Matthew Southworth (Stumptown), Mark Rahner (Rotten), Eric Trautmann (Vampirella), and Brandon Jerwa (The Mighty Crusaders) we found dinner at some place called the Golden Dragon near the mall. If you ever get the chance to go here, don’t. Oh dear lord don’t. The food was terrible and the service well… the waitress meant well but, ultimately came off a bit um… offensive when she decided to explain the menu in faux-deaf person speech. Insert drinks to make awkwardness less awkward.

Stop staring at scantily clad cosplayers. Especially if they are 16 years old. It’s creepy and gross. If I can control myself …
Just saw this on Chris Samnee’s twitter:
Amazing. I wish I had been there to witness this.
I am sad to report that the DC programming that I’ve attended has been pretty boring. Yesterday’s DC Universe Q&A was basically just a stream of stereotypical nerds asking stereotypical nerd questions. The panelists really …
