Tired from Con

Epic weekend at Phoenix Comicon. Some key moments:

• Wil Wheaton flailing wildly as he told the story of a deep, personal connection he built with a video game NPC that happened to have his voice, and the tragic outcome when said NPC was shot and killed.
• LeVar Burton leading an entire auditorium in a "Reading Rainbow" theme song singalong.
• Jonathan Frakes learning the verb "to Riker" (to attempt, successfully or unsuccessfully, to mate with an alien woman, as opposed to "to Kirk" which only describes successful attempts)
• HAL 9000 conversing with Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood (using recorded dialog from 2001: A Space Odyssey
• Being harassed by R2-D2 on the vendor floor
• Buying a Green Latern ring (Green Lantern powers not included)
• Having a blast as a panelist
• Watching with increasing horror as the Twilight panel (I was waiting for the next panel) presented a "history" of vampires in cinema, getting many key points completely effing wrong and essentially saying that Edward Cullen was the perfect culmination of an otherwise flawed subgenre
• Buying a couple awesome prints, including one of Nosferatu and another of a hitchhiking Deadpool
• For the second year in a row, the McFarlane King Kong figure was snaked out from under me, but I did manage to get the Gort Wacky Wobbler
• Chibi Cyberman art print
• James Marsters using surfer speak to describe how MacBeth should be played
• Felicia Day hating your face (you know who you are), via her Internet Lawyer Wil Wheaton
• Buying a random longbox of comics for the second year in a row. This year was heavy on the X-titles

Pictures going up on Facebook soonish.
