Today at conference we had a Star Wars themed day and I was so excited to get my picture taken with R2D2!
It was an awesome wrap up for an awesome conference :-)
Ewoking Dead
Why #ala12 was awesome
I got back from Anaheim yesterday and as exhausted as I am, I have to say it was a pretty amazing conference.
Now, I admit, I’m biased. I’m staff, so the show is naturally close to my heart. But there was a really good vibe at the conference. The people I spoke with were engaged and active and inspired and INSPIRING. I tell you, there’s nothing like hanging with 15,000 librarians to warm your soul.
GraphiCon - our mini-comic-com inside of Annual - was pretty fabulous. We had tons of programming and a really great Artist Alley with some great creators (Faith Erin Hicks, Dave Roman, Raina Talgemeir, Gene Yang, The Houghton Brothers, and so many more!) Derek Kim shot this fabulous video:
And my “Not the Droids Your Looking For” game came off without a hitch! I was very excited, because I wasn’t quite sure it was going to work well. But people seemed to like the game and had fun with the little encounters. I’ll be writing up a how-to when I get the chance. And its leading me to thinking about what kind of game I should plan for Midwinter.
Oh, yeah… and I ran into George R. R. Martin on the Exhibits floor….
Do or Do Not… There Is No Try
May the force be with you
Okay, cozy up to your computer and listen/watch this AWESOME table read of the original Star Wars script.
voice actors Billy West, Tara Strong, Maurice LaMarche, John DiMaggio, Kevin Conroy, Jess Harnell and Rob Paulsen as they re-create the magic of the Star Wars films, albeit in their own special way!
Star Wars read by cartoon faves like Bubbles, Pinky & the Brain, Bender, Stimpy, and more!
