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You’re way out of date if you think that cons are restricted to sci-fi or comics.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.
