WonderCon starts tomorrow in San Francisco, and I’m going to be there! Hooray!

I hope it turns out to be very cool in its own right, given that it’s not the Comic Con. It’s smaller, in the off-season, and with far fewer big names in the geek industry and pop culture. I’m sure I’ll still have fun. More fun, perhaps, because there won’t be as many people there.

Assuming that I have internet access the whole time that I’m there, I will be blogging with at least the highlights of each day. And of course I’ll be twittering the moment-by-moment excitement (you know, things like “Lou Ferrigno is eating a pretzel dog for lunch, and he seems to like mustard!”) I’ll have only one-way Twitter access, though, because I still don’t have a smartphone. My LG enV2 phone still works very well despite being dropped hundreds of times, and I appreciate not having to pay for the extra internet data plan… so I probably won’t get an iPhone or Droid or even Blackberry anytime soon. I’ll have to get my internet the old-fashioned way: wi-fi in the hotel. Heh.

Oh, and did you hear that Google has changed its name to Topeka? Seems like a poor decision… I bet they’ll change it back tomorrow.

It’s hard to believe that almost two years have passed since Ben and I went to Comic Con in San Diego. I loved it and wanted to start going every year… but last year I couldn’t go because of my class schedule and Ben’s work schedule. And this year isn’t happening either, which is extra sad because I’m going to miss out on seeing my friends from Cincinnati who are going for the first time.

But don’t throw me a pity party just yet. This time next week I’ll be at WonderCon in San Francisco! WonderCon is basically Comic Con Jr. in a different city at a different time of year and with not as many headlining geek celebrities. Now I just need to get through the next couple days of deadlines and maybe catch up on my sleep a little. I’m very excited, see also: sleep deprived. Going to fix that now, hopefully!
