A Summer of Conferences - Part 2 Comic Con

Any resemblance I may display to Sheldon Cooper on 
BIG BANG THEORY is purely coincidental. 

Comic Con, how do I love thee?
Let me count the ways...


Meeting Eddie McClintock from the show 
WAREHOUSE 13. 
Super funny and sweet person. Love the show. 





Best t-shirt EVER!








Hilarious live radio comedy show. Grab their podcasts immediately! Will Wheaton was the guest performer. Extra Bonus - Tahereh Mafi and Ransom Riggs were in the audience. I had a chance to channel my fangirl self and meet them. Both charming and gracious. Isn't it cool when people you admire turn out to be wonderful!





New backpack.











Old friend. 











Daughter becoming Viking.











Panels - Panels - Panels

The wild wit of Shannon Hale moderating a Fairy Tale Remix panel that included Cornelia Funke and Marissa Meyer.




Simon and Schuster Panel that made me commit my entire year's income to buying books. 
(I just happened to win an entire gift bag of middle grade releases - HARDCOVERS - Whoo Hoo)

YA Panel that made me commit next year's income to more books. Yes, that is Margaret Stohl and Scott Westerfeld. Kami Garcia and Tahereh Mafi among other wonderful authors are down the line.

All right everyone - channel you inner BIG BANG THEORY - and beeline it to Comic Con next July. Even if you don't get "official" passes, there are tons of offsite venues, performances, and fun.

I'll be waiting...

And to quote Dr. Sheldon Cooper, 
"I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested."
