Shamus claims it was a success because he got to ban a former employee, one that Wizard let go in one of its purges, simply because the former employee dared to get a job working for a different convention organizer.

I know what I loathe too. That art is horrible; like something on a high school notebook. The artist should be ashamed, and his mother should be ashamed for telling her son that he has nice art.

Philly’s convention center is an old subway/railroad terminal. I’m not sure if it was considered a historic building, but they wanted some continuity when they built the center.

You think it looks bad NOW? Imagine it as bare concrete, full of trains and pigeons.

I want to know how many table displays, and people, were wiped out by Captain America’s shield.

Why do people take their kids to these things? I have no idea.

Why do people take their kids to my local store’s pre-FCBD party that -starts at midnight- and is basically a crowded, loud, boozy party? (Which is great, mind you, but I’m 30.) Some combination of cluelessness/selfishness (“We want to go to the midnight party but don’t feel like getting up to go back the next day with the kids”) perhaps?

Oh well, there are probably more dangerous things for children to be exposed to.
