I have a few odds and ends from the post-Con afterglow. Yeah, it’s four days later, and thankfully my memory of people poured like chunky potato salad into Snowtrooper uniforms has subsided, but there’s something to be said.
About women.
Yes, there were ladies at the Con. There was also this gentleman, who had plastic tubing emerging from his fly:
But he’s not the one I’m talking about here. I’m talking about women in skimpy costumes, proving again and again that comics are drawn by men. I’m talking about the sense of shame not visiting the Javits Center that weekend.
And golly, if that’s what America is all about, then slap a flag on me and call me Uncle Sam.
We ran into Mystique near the back of the convention center. I’ve always been a fan of blue women, so the picture was taken. This was to be my nerdwife.
Yet, while my heart was captured by Girl-Playing-Mystique, my attention was captured by an improv show called “Star Trekkin’”. Being an improviser myself, with about 5 years of performance under my belt, I stuck around for the show. It was…well, what you’d expect from an improv show revolving around non-continuity Star Trek.
But alas! There was a cast member in red!
Enter nerdwife #2! Sigh. I fall in love too quickly.
So what’s an upwardly mobile blogger like myself to do? The girl in blue or the girl in red? Well, I couldn’t make up my mind. So I went with the mutant in green.
He never lets you down.
Oh, and speaking of letting down, here’s day three of the New York Times booth.
Eeep.

I’ve tried unsuccessfully to get girls into tentacle porn, but no one will sell me any (my name’s on this list, see…)
