I suppose the 16th of July seems like kind of a random time to start a new blog, but next week I’m going to San Diego for Comic Con so I hope that I will have interesting tales to share and pictures to post.

This is my third year at Comic Con and I am really looking forward to it. The first year was pretty much complete and utter chaos, last year was a little better,  but this year not only do I have a better handle on how the programming works I have friends I’m looking forward to getting together with,  some of them that I’ll be meeting in person for the first time! Thanks to World of Warcraft I’ve made friends all over the country,  and fortunately some of them are going to Comic Con.

I have to admit that aside from the crowds and the higher cost of living,  I like San Diego and I love Comic Con.  The weather is beautiful, especially when leaving behind this humid, sticky 100+ temp weather that we’re having here on the Gulf Coast.  I was trying to explain to my Mom why I like Comic Con so much, and really it’s the people. Everyone is so friendly, even when they play Horde and you play Alliance. There is sometimes teasing, but it’s usually all pretty good natured.

So with a trip on the horizon it seems like a good time to embark on a new blog, hopefully I can find something worthwhile to say.
