Ontario's having a little spike over the past week. From less than 100 new cases a day to more than 200. I blame the big Brampton house parties, get 200 people in a house for a big party in defiance of common sense and health and safety regulations, what's gonna happen? It's put a gloom over the beginning of fall weather. Well, the gloomy fall weather's been doing that too, lots of clouds and a bit of rain since Labor Day.
We went out yesterday and hit an antique mall and the consensus over the summer has been that the Woodstock antique mall got in a lot of new stuff and is on their "A" game, and every other antique mall within about an hour's drive of us desperately needs some merch turnover. Got to take some photos of a snake, though, so it's all good.
I put up a new Atlanta Fantasy Fair blog post all about how the Atlanta Fantasy Fair moved from downtown Atlanta to the GICC by the Atlanta airport, and how it did the convention no favors at a critical time in its convention lifespan. Moving down there didn't critically injure the convention, but it sure didn't help things.

AWA went to that same location about ten years later and got out unscathed, mostly because the GICC swore on a stack of bibles that they were going to tear the whole thing down, we HAD TO GET OUT. Nearly twenty years later it's all still standing. Part of the last two Avengers movies were filmed there, I guess a big exhibit hall is great for filming large green-screen sequences.
Speaking of AWA, it looks like their virtual show is going to be around the end of the year instead of Halloween, which is fine, gives me more time to put things together. I'm definitely *not* in the panel content creation zone at present.
