So,
Thomas Jane, aka the second Punisher, aka David Drayton from THE MIST, aka Todd Parker, heard there was a big JONAH HEX flick in the works.
So he and a buddy got together, and cosplay'ed up a costume and took some pics, maybe it would get him the job, maybe not, but assuredly, it would be fun dressing up like Jonah freaking Hex....
Only GEEKS do that!!
This isn't Sean Young showing up at Warner's dressed as catwoman, this is a nerd goofing around in his back yard because it's silly fun to dress up as a cowboy bounty hunter who was raised by Apache's but scarred and cast out due to an act of betrayal!
Just for the fun of it...
Hmmmm...
He also publishes his own comics, and had Bernie Wrightson do some covers for those comics...
Does that make anyone think anything? |

After many years being taught, here and there, when i wanted to make stuff, how to build using cloth and fabric, (sewing isn't manly, building stuff with cloth sounds better), I am about to embark on my first solo build. It's pretty easy and people like ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cleo and windelina would probably knock this project out in about zero time flat, but, I aint them, and I trust both of you, along with my sister and any other experienced sewers out there, are gracious enough in your skills to not point and laugh.
( All the gory photos and my whole sordid plan )

|---|
Holy Crap. What was a meager, but semi worthwhile psuedo con last year the Des Moines Comic Book I-Con, turned into utter crap.
8 bucks to get in, and worth none of it. 3 hours before closing, the middle of the day, and the only guest i spotted was this dude
Robert Z'Dar, from such movies as TANGO AND CASH, and...uh....TANGO AND CASH, as well as, um.....TANGO AND CASH...
I think i saw Phil Hester leaving to (hopefully) drown his sorrows in cheap beer at some east side bar....
There were about... MAYBE a dozen dealers. No spots reserved for artists who lived closer than Phil (who is somewhere in eastern Iowa) and the only one i recognized was Ron Wagner, who I know is local, because he shows work at my favorite coffee shop.
I raided some 50 cent treasures, snagged some FURTHER ADVENTURES OF INDIANA JONES...which i was looking at, and had astoundingly good artists.... Trimpe, Colletta, Byrne, Jim "my name is PRIEST now," Owlsley (because he evidently became an IMAGE character circa 1993), and a couple by some dude name STEVE F***king DITKO! scorrre!
Also snagged a couple Captain americas with Demolition man on the cover...because ya know, IM THE D-MAN, BITCH!
and a sonic screwdriver thats just BEGGING to be modded....now if i could figure out what to make it into...

Vent privately, be nice and shit comes your way.
I reminded myself CONvergence is too much fun, too special and the people in charge work WAY WAY WAY too friggin hard to take ANY dramaz from me.
So I just emailed Ishmael, and was cool, and patient, let him know if anything opened up, smoking or non, in the sheraton or sofitel, I would much appreciate being on that side of the interstate, and yes, i was a pain in the neck.
Suddenly a smoking room opens in the Sheraton....
Derek...
remember... HONEY, not vinegar.

Put in a hotel request this year, around January, hoping to snag a smoking room. No...ok, so the Sofitel it is.....wait, no sofitel? have to stay on the other side of the highway and take a shuttle?
That sucks.

Does anyone know of a circus school, specifically teaching silk aerialist or contortionist lessons in the Austin or San Antonio?
cargill or morgana_lefay, could you ask your magician friend down there, or anyone else who might know?

Many years since I was here,
on the street I was passin my time away
To the left and to the right,
buildings towering to the sky
Its outta sight in the dead of night
Here I am, and in this city, with a fistful of dollars
And baby, youd better believe
IM BACK
BACK IN A NEW YORK GROOVE!
BACK
BACK IN A NEW YORK GROOVE
Would you believe that my ipod dropped this song in my ear right as i was walking down Park Ave?

I know that everyone, or most everyone who reads this is United Statesian, and as such, is completely conditioned to think that the bigger a car is, and the bigger the engine block is, the safter you would be in a head on crash.
Here is proof that the only steel which matters on a car is the steel which protects the passenger compartment. Destroy the car, sure, but the people in the car are undamaged....
Well, sort of undamaged. See, at that impact, in fact, at any highway speed impact, your brain inside your head would be so violently slammed against the front of your skull, you would die of a brain hemmorhage, like Dale Earnhardt.
BUT, this is conclusive proof, that it would be just as easy to get your corpse from the car as it would be in a Chevy Tahoe.

In a sentiment expressed by my parish minister lo, some 20 odd years ago after a kid died huffing freon from a canned air canister, if kids need to get high THAT bad, let them smoke pot.
According to the Collier County (FL) Criminal Intelligence Bureau (and theres only one way to take that, because these criminals SO cant be intelligent)
Kids are so desperate to get high, theyre using a drug known as "Jenkem"
( Cut for sheer disgustingness, don't read anywhere you cant be grossed out, probably NSFW, no nudity, no blood )

What a week at work!
I work the noon news (among others) and often, we will have guests.
Yesterday, i was FORCED to put body mikes on a couple of the rockettes who were in town pimping their christmas tour later this year.... sigh, I tried cargill, i really did... crash and burn. But it was a glorious crash and burn with a couple of girls whose legs were longer than you are tall. That was nice...
But today, to restore my manlyness, we had a BETTER guest..
JOE FREAKING MONTANA!
No, it wasnt some schlub named Joe Montana, it was 4 superbowls, 3 mvp's, the drive, the catch, the pride of the San Francisco 49ers, JOE COOL!
wow, dude is tall.
and no, i didnt hit on him, the women at work did that for me.
I MET JOE MONTANA!! HOLY SHIZNIT!
