Further reflections
Aug. 25th, 2003 11:07 amThe guy who did Rygel's voice was da fucking BOMB. Just a hoot.
I told him why I can't enjoy the show (the whole Ben Browder thing) and he said "That's because he's a fucking American Bore. He walks up to people and says 'Hi, I'm Ben'. Slow down, old fellow! Now, of course, he's loosened up, and will say 'Hello, my name is Ben.'"
Heh. Glad it's not just me. :)
Got to chat with some of the handlers for some of the other guests. Denise Crosby's lady was great; apparently Denise was not invited to many Crosby family dinners.
Didn't see a TorCon booth this year. Last year's was very nice. They had a fair # of authors signing, and I couldn't see everyone, but they had something good put together; for a media/comic convention it may not have been the best setup, but hey.
Visited Comics Arist alley. Because I had a 'Guest' sticker on my badge some people assumed I was a comics creator. I took to telling people I was actually a pornographer.
"I'm a Pornographer, actually. I'm working on expanding the Asian man on man genre; too often they're the victims of horrid stereotypes, but I want to show they can produce some of the hottest M2M smut on the market!"
People usually left me alone after that, but I also got a LOT of business cards.
Lou Ferigno is huge.
David Prowse? Also large. When you consider he's in his golden years and has a bad hip, he's in shockingly good shape. Big 'ol arms.
Fairly quiet, and EVERYONE hates the organizers. I hear TorCon got screwed because, really, how did the Nimoy money benefit them? I'm still uncertain.
