Yesterday at Dragon Con, there was a moment where I realized I didn’t know where I was going, what I was doing, or even which of the conference hotels I was in — but I was still having a blast. One of the main lessons I’ve learned about Dragon Con is
Dragon Con day two is a blur of images and the constant murmur of voices. It’s the bumping of shoulders in a crowd and the tight ache of muscles from climbing the hills. It’s the homeless men and women, some so skeletal you wonder how they remain alive. It’s the
Another awesome day at Dragon Con! It’s amazing how fast the time flies by when you’re at a con, and before you know it, it’s already the end of the day. The ESO Network’s Mary Ogle and I kicked off the day by recording some interviews. I’m so thankful for this
I survived my first full day at Dragon Con! Although I stumbled back to the train station tonight in a bit of a daze (Dragon Con involves a LOT of walking, and you WILL get tired), I had an awesome day and can’t wait to go back tomorrow. It’s so
Dragon Con is a mass of contradictions. My first impression is gridlocked traffic surrounding the block of hotels and businesses. The people in the cars are anxious and sometimes rude, the crowds streaming by on the street are vibrating with delight. They are joyfully displaying their dream selves in feathers
Hello, ESO friends! It’s officially time for Dragon Con! I’m super excited to be attending my first-ever Dragon Con this year, and also doing some media coverage for ESO. Over the next several days, about 85,000 people will be in downtown Atlanta for the con, which is actually bigger than the
STROLLING THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE’S DREAMS One thing I’ve realized as I creep closer to my mid-fifties is that growing up is a myth. Adulthood implies an end game – a place where we’ve learned everything we need to know in order to thrive in this world. Yet the older I
After an epic 10-year buildup, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s ultimate villain finally arrived to restore balance to the universe earlier this summer. Thanos was, at least for me, worth the wait, and I’m looking forward to watching him in “Infinity War” again, now that this movie is coming out on
My friends and family used to give me a hard time about never writing negative reviews. I used to feel really guilty for saying something bad about a movie or TV show, and so my reviews always ended up sounding semi-positive in the end, even if I’d actually meant to
There’s a scene in the middle of the new season of Marvel/Netflix’s “Luke Cage” where Mariah Dillard, the season’s main villain, displays a rare moment of extremely vulnerable honesty. Now, Mariah is a truly terrible person. The former politician has committed horrible crimes during her quest for power, and by
The Internet — and the rise of social media — has benefited geek culture in a number of ways. It’s now easier than ever to meet fellow geeks and discuss your favorite franchises, share podcasts/article links, stay up-to-date on the latest movie/TV announcements, and more. Thanks to social media, I’ve
“Arrested Development” is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. The series, featuring the misadventures of the spectacularly dysfunctional Bluth family, ran for a mere three seasons on Fox before getting canceled. However, thanks to a still-devoted fanbase, the show was revived seven years later on Netflix. Although Netflix swooping
