Had the day off yesterday and I used it wisely by doing a new Let's Anime column featuring some of the convention promotional material I gots from Devlin, with a focus on "Japanimation". Con flyers from 1984, video room schedules from 1990, other touchstones of an era when a convention could host Jon Pertwee and Leonard Nimoy and only get a couple thousand attendees, also a time when we thought a couple thousand attendees was a big deal and Brad Strickland was a guest at every single convention. I mean every single show, there he was. I remember one of these things, we walked past an empty panel room with name cards on the table, his among them, so we sat down and started holding a panel. "I'm Brad Strickland", we said, and a few people filtered into the room and sat down to listen to us completely BS our way through a panel only slightly more inane than the normal SF con panel.
Also spent some time going through the boxes of magazines and yanking some out to sell at the SF/Anime Yard Sale. Old Comics Journals, some fanzines, an eclectic mix of media awaits your loonies and toonies. And if it doesn't sell there it's going straight to BMV, it ain't coming home with us. Also pulled out some back issue comics, some of those are going to go to the Silver Snail or someplace, but some are going to the yard sale for a buck or two each. And because we need more stuff we went to the Beguiling and I got caught up on Black Jack.
I had a bag full of junk that was going to the thrift store, but on the way out the bag ripped. Suddenly the final destination got downgraded from "Goodwill" to "Recycle Bin".
Trying to get up earlier to prepare for later in the week and so far it's not working out so well, I say "ten more minutes" and roll over, and ten minutes turns into an hour. Well, regardless of what I do, I will toss and turn on Wednesday night and get barely any sleep at all. Having to get up early makes it really difficult for me to sleep the night before, I don't know why.
I have today off as well and apart from some drawing I have absolutely no plans. I guess this is what summer's all about!
