Where to begin…

The event took place during June 19-21 and cost $50. This was also my convention so I didn’t have any point of reference to compare it to.

As soon as I got there I wandered the floor to see the various merchants and costume outfits by the other attendees.

After giving the floor two passes I found myself a presentation listing and found three that interested me. These being; the heroine’s journey, the reality of Superman’s powers, and what makes a good villain?

The first one was primarily hosted by ___(To Be Populated Later)____ and then afterwards during the Q&A Valerie Estelle Frankel came up and joined her. As of me writing this I can’t seem to find my notes as to her name so “blank” is going to have to cover it.

She went over the ‘The Heroine’s Journey’ and how it differs from the male version of The Hero’s Journey. I tried to get some notes in but when listening to a presentation my own annotation skills are lacking. I walked up to __(to be populated later)__ and asked if she could email out her notes. I have yet to receive it, but I have to acknowledge that people are busy. Heck, I can’t even get my own regular posts up on this site.

The next one was the Powers of Superman. It was hosted by Mary Louise Davie. I stopped by her booth and purchased one of her books before I had even looked at the itinerary to know she was doing the Superman one. I have the book sitting beside me at work and have yet to start reading it, but that is just me being life busy.

Finally the last panel, “Why we love good bad guys”, was hosted by Dr. Travis Langley, Danny Fingeroth, Elizabeth Ann Kus, and Robert Love. I probably enjoyed this one the most but also felt as if they enjoyed listening to each other talk more than interacting with the audience. Hey, I get it, some people really like looking in the mirror. Kanye Pest or Parris Hilton anyone?

It is now July 4th and I haven’t received any contact back by the aforementioned people above after contacting them by email. I haven’t posted this review until now as it has existed in draft form only and I’m getting tired of seeing it incomplete.

So…that means I am posting it in all its incomplete form.

At some point every button needs to get pushed.
