It will be a glorious geek weekend!
The New York Comic Con is almost upon us and that means just one thing. I need my beauty rest. :)
Just so you guys know, things will be quiet on here for a bit until I get myself settled in NY. Mostly likely I’ll be mobile blogging soon enough anyway, plus I’ve got a new laptop I’ll be taking advantage of for writing as well. I’ll be there all three days but my actual schedule is still up in the air.
Keep up to date with what’s going on at NYCC with their official website and blog. I also hear there will be some stuff on their Twitter too. Speaking of Twitter, I just set it up so I can Tweet from my phone. I’ll likely be posting random (and hopefully) amusing comments there throughout the weekend. If I were you, I’d also keep a close eye on Comic Book Resources as well as CBR Live! Just sayin’.
If you’ve seen me at a con before you know I zip around pretty fast in my scooter. Don’t be afraid to shout out, “Jill!” or “Nerdy Bird!” if you see me and want to say hello. I promise not to run you over unless you are a creep or generally piss me off. And please, if you’re one of my Myspace, Facebook, general online friends don’t be offended if you walk up and I don’t know who you are. Say who you are. That helps. Most people don’t have pictures of themselves online or look completely different in real life so it’s hard to keep people straight.
If you’re going, have fun and I’ll see you all soon!
Thanks very much Cully, I appreciate that. I hope that’s what happens.
And thanks to the rest of you. I’m attempting to catch up on various things now. Busy busy!
Mental Magma is about getting paid to be creative. Each week we host contests that are creative, idiosyncratic, and unlike any others you’ll find on the blogonetsphere.
The contest this week is to identify a hidden moral behind a book/movie/story/song of your choice. Tell us what story you’re talking about and then tell us what moral you interpret from it. Please keep entries to no more than a few sentences.
The entry voted the favorite by MM users will earn its author their choice of a $20 Amazon.com gift certificate OR a $40 gift certificate to the MM Online Store.
All entries are due by Friday, February 13th at 5pm EST.

I loved reading your CBR stuff. Sounds like it was a great time.
It’s nice to see you get some exposure over at CBR. More people should know about who you are and the insight you bring to the world of geekdom. Here’s hoping you gain a slew of new fans. Cully
Great pics today! Hope you’re having a terrific weekend (one assumes that’s totally the case from the CBR stuff).
Take an awesome pic with creative folks and bug somebody about the new writer/artist team on Runaways for me! ;)
What a coincidence! I’ll be there all weekend as well! The stars are all aligned up for me this weekend.:)
Haha! YOU show some leg!
I’ll be there also (in press mode). Funny how I never saw you last year, but ran into you in Philly!
According to the news, it will be a toasty 53 degrees, so show some leg!
Yah! See you there Melissa!
Randy, you can live vicariously through my blog. :)
Chuck, as long as it’s finished in time. Which right now isn’t looking too good. :(
Are you coming in costume again this year?
Wish I could meet you there. Maybe you can come to Chicago for Wizard World in August. I’ll take you to the HS where Ferris Bueller filmed.
*squeal* I’m so excited!! I’ll be there all day friday and half the day saturday, so hopefully I’l run into you sometime then! I should probably get some sleep too, I have an eight o clock tomorrow morning…bleh…but yay con! =D
