thebitterguyDrove down to Novi, MI (one of the ugly states) for a comic convention. The ride was fun (we listened to Showtunes & Johnny Cash), and went fairly well for a four hour drive fest.
Eight hours round trip. Sweet Jesus.
The show was mediocre at best. I got a couple autographs (Kurt Busiek & Tony Todd) and stayed clear of Raven because, well, what could I say? "I enjoy the industry you work in, occasionally legitimately, occasionally ironically, but have never really seen you, so I can't say wether or not you're any good, but that's a nice banner, did you make that yourself?"
Of course, for the MOST fun of the afternoon, I played in a HeroClix tournament.
Fuck.
The score was embarassing (primarily because 'leave time' came up halfway my second match, but I'm willing to bet there were no great hopes to be had. The team was good; Magneto (E), Hulk (E), Gambit (V), Meltdown (V), and SHIELD Medic (E).
The rolls? Dude, I couldn't roll above 2. ON BOTH DICE.
Fuck. Quite annoying. The hulk needed something like six to hit Ultron, rolled five. Magneto attempted for THREE TURNS to breakaway from Mme. Masque. Failed. (If I'd attempted to TK her away, it would likely have had the same effect).
Feh. My Game Fu was weak.
Dinner was had at a Harvey's in Sarnia. I introduced![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rockgoddes' lad Riley to the art of 'pull my finger'.
Game today. Missed breakfast because the alarm clock didn't go off. Don't ask me WHY it didn't go off. That will just make me angry.
