Went on a buying binge...

When I die I want to go to the sales floor and I want Maricel with me. Bought a ton of stuff for my personal collection. NOTHING for the store. I'm working hard to not make this a business trip, though of course I am doing some networking. For a detailed listing of what I got, check out the convention page on the store's website. No good deals, not by a long shot. But some cool stuff. Maricel found a lot of stuff she'd never even seen before. She was really enjoying herself. Ran into a guy I knew in college. He literally lives in his parents' basement and works part-time at a video store. He's every fanboy stereotype you've ever heard. Told me about his screenplay for Star Trek. It's for the Next Gen cast and he's going to try to give it to Johnathan Frakes. I suggested that getting a literary agent might be a better approach. He looked at me like I was nuts. Don't care. I suspect he's never had sex in his life. His tongue fell on the floor when I introduced him to Maricel. He told her liked hot Asian chicks and asked if she'd like to read his screenplay. It's almost like I brought Weezer with me.

See you in the funny papers....
