Wizard World, Castle Island and Stormtroopers...

I apologize if last nights post was a little um... too revealing. When I don't feel well I tend to focus on the source of discomfort.

Anywhooo!
Saturday Me and Ron went to Wizard World Boston, a large comic book convention at The Bayside Expo Center. We met up with Kenny & Carol there and later hooked up with Carrie, Tom & Jack. Fraser was there of course, with a co-worker friend named Bob. (For those of you who don't know, Fraser, Bob and my sister Angela all work at the same place.)

Boston comic con's have a reputation for sucking bigtime and I fully expected this one to be no different. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was pretty well run and quite large. Usually you get a bunch of fanboys and fangirls who decide to pool the remains of their college funds together to host a convention with some B, C or D list actor or actress as the guest of honor, or some author you've never heard of. This one had it's share of that, but there were some bigger names as well such as Joe Quesada and Mick Foley. We ran into some old customers of Ron's from back in the Walpole Comics days, which was nice and said hi to David Mack and Andy Lee.

After the convention we went to Castle Island with Kenny & Carol. It was a beautiful day... perfect for walking around by the sea. We saw some guys catching sand sharks on a pier. They left them to die as they continued to fish (they stay fresher longer that way) and they seemed pretty cool about letting folks touch them and pick them up. The sharks were destined for soups in various chinatown restaurants.

That evening we all headed out to Carrie and Tom's for an evening of chillin' out with friends and chinese food. Ron, Tom and Mark made some noise and the rest of us played Scattergories... as much as I LOVE Scattergories I think it's time to find a new game. Taboo anyone?

Picture's from the evening will be HERE when I get my ass in gear.
