Press pass approved. 

This is a new one, the replacement for SiliCon, which was wrecked by Adam Savage.

RE: GalaxyCon - Greg - 07-22-2024

Fair.


RE: GalaxyCon - Drunk Monk - 07-22-2024

It’s called galaxycon, not sci-fi con.

You’re way out of date if you think that cons are restricted to sci-fi or comics. But maybe that’s what it says in your print encyclopedia…


RE: GalaxyCon - Drunk Monk - 07-30-2024

Even more interesting...

The line-up off a press missive I just got. Not bad for the new kid on the block. There's no one I'd really like to interview beyond Cleese (it'd focus on Self Defense against fresh fruit).


RE: GalaxyCon - Drunk Monk - 08-17-2024

Hit the ground running. In a bit early because press pass. Security is minimal. Checked in with some vendor friends. Got intel on the 2 weapons vendors. Secured an interview with Michael Dorn (ST:TNG Worf) about batleth (or however you spell it - spellcheck where are you?)

I’m good for the working part - plenty for KFM. Now to see if there’s any I want (nothing grabbed me upon first pass). It’s a nice con - heavily set up for meet & greets + autographs/selfies. Nice crowd, some decent cosplay. Fun.

Nachos are $12. Glad I brought a burrito.

Srsly tempted to swing by on my way home. There’s a whole ‘after dark’ aspect that goes to 1am. It’s adult.


RE: GalaxyCon - Drunk Monk - 08-17-2024

The Picard panel rocked. Brent is witty like a veteran trekker - got several lols from me.

Cleese is next. Bumped into some friends who are doing the photo & autograph with Cleese. They got an autographed black knight pic. Jelly.


RE: GalaxyCon - Drunk Monk - 08-17-2024

Cleese was great. Met all my expectations.

Moving on…


RE: GalaxyCon - Drunk Monk - 08-17-2024

I might got back for the burlesque etc tonight. Depends on my momentum.


RE: GalaxyCon - Drunk Monk - 08-17-2024

Nah I’m out
As tempting as an ‘adult’ con is, I’m gassing out. 
Not 50 anymore…
Still in merc.


RE: GalaxyCon - Drunk Monk - 08-18-2024

Couldn’t really have made it anyways. I left the Greek around 11.30 and it would take an hour plus to get back to it. It ended at 1 which would’ve given me less that a half hour or so and that just wasn’t worth it. Pity, it promised nerd kink, and I’ve not had a good dose of live kink in a while. 

Maybe next year. Seemed successful enough. Hope they do it again. It was a nice con and I had a lot of fun.
