I wonder how many real aliens visit sci-fi conventions just to hang out and be groovy with the humans and, also to see if we'd even be ready for such a monumental event as aliens visiting Earth. Really, there's no way to discern alien from human with a lot of the costumes and make-up at anybody's fingertips. It's enough to make one wonder. If I were an alien, I'd so totally crash some parties and get all rowdy. People would fawn over my make-up and the groovy language I was speaking. Both men and women would want me and want to be me ~ it'd be crazy. And it would all be done without my normally having to cloak myself. I'd even walk down the street during one of the Dragon*Con parades, waving at the onlookers and the news camera. I'd even pose for personal shots, making gangsta signs with my flippers. It would be epic, I say, EPIC. Any self-respecting alien would do the exact same thing.
They just did a blurb on the news about Dragon*Con. Looked to see if I could recognise anyone, all to no avail. The con is in full throttle now and will continue on through Monday. I want to go so bad, even my taste buds are demanding to taste the air of Atlanta. Alas, it is not to be, much to my disappointment. There's always next year and 2012. After that, I'm afraid human conventions will be a bit scarce on the ground, if all goes as this Alpaca-Liptican hopes. So we'll see how that goes. In the interim, I can hope to make the 11 Con and hope that Ray Park will be there and not bail at the last minute...that naughty boy.
Boring Saturday
Sep. 4th, 2010 01:19 pmSo far, I've gone to Lyman and picked up Aunt Tudi's medicine for the month, and swung by Food Lion to get us a handful of food. Aunt Tudi and I were planning on going to Wal-Mart for the food run today, but Aunt Tudi isn't up to it and I'm never up to shenanigans like that, so that's been postponed until tomorrow, maybe the next day. So I'm back at home now, wishing I were at Dragon*Con with a pack of my homies making mischief throughout the con just so people would have no doubt that the Sith have made themselves present and accounted for at Dragon*Con. I got word from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dr_nebula that Ray Park cancelled his appearance at the con. He was really good for doing that during the Darth Maul craze. It got to the point that con-goers never believed he'd show and usually they were right. That's a bad reputation to have, Ray! Better straighten your Wushu arse out lest you lose your fanbase. Without that, you have nothing in the entertainment industry.
Seventeen years ago today, Granny died. Aunt Tudi, who was her daughter, is trying to to keep herself busy and not think about it, but she's already mentioned the anniversary to me, which indicates to me that she's dwelling on it. I wish I had the money to take her out today, maybe for a movie and dinner out. But I can't do that this year. In the end, I think I see DVDs in our future.
