Dork Fest

I dragged Marigold to an opening of a show on the history of Sequential Art tonight. "Panel Progressions: 100 Years of Sequential Art" at Red gallery, where I usually work. Sure, I knew it would show off dorks being dorks - blown up pages of all sort of space, fantasy, mutant, superhero wallahoo. What I didn't expect was a Mardi Gras caliber crowd pressing all their noses up against every frame and each other. There were actually several who dressed up - One Shazzam!, a Spiderman, and many goth-ish type people who I suspect are always in costume. I don't like large crowds (apparently it's called enochlophobia) and so I hung around outside until we could sneak off to dinner.

My playing cards are falling behind schedule. Hopefully I can get them all designed by this weekend. The printing process is starting to stress me out although. I might have to resort to Kinkos. I am a simple boy. All I want is 50 to 100 high-quality, double-sided, card-stock, glossy surface, one day turn around, cheap poster prints.

That actually sounds kind of fun and interesting.

It was like a dork version of your "interesting people" party. Fun!

It probably is a more interesting show than I give it credit for. I shouldn't let the fans ruin my appreciation of the thing itself. I will have a great ammount of time to see it all in my own time in the upcoming month.
