And then...

A quick addendum to Dylan's Emerald City ComiCon post...

While walking around the artist gallery I had my first bona fide fangirl moment.

I was mulling around Brian Wood's table, waiting for some space to clear so I could get a copy of Demo to be signed. Once space cleared I stepped forward. He looked up and said "I know you...You are an internet friend." I stopped dead in my tracks and melted into an emotional puddle. What felt like hours, but was probably mere seconds, I composed myself enough to have some awkward conversation about things to do on a Saturday night in Seattle.

Walking away with a floating sensation, I could now identify with the never ending stream of fans waiting for Brian Michael Bendis: I now officially entered retarded fandom.

The rest of the time I spent in a haze and didn't really care much about what happened around me. I wasn't really into everything else the Con had to offer, so I listlessly picked up stupid toys and fingered poly bagged issues without a care in the world.

Excited

Up until today, I thought the only thing I was really looking forward to at Emerald City ComiCon was meeting Brian Wood . But today brought a lovely surprise:

Brian Posehn

It's spookily perfect timing as the Successless household has recently started watching The Sarah Silverman Show (though if you asked us, The Man Show is really gets us moist about him).

It doesn't quite take way that sting from missing APE with Bryan Lee O'Malley, but it comes pretty close.
