The final chapter of my tales of MegaCon includes the story that was placed in Creative Loafing HERE. We have some of the great videos, courtesy of Rabid Nick, but of course, they don't tell the whole story.
The panels were great, and the nerds were plenty, as we went from movie making panel to movie making panel. It was great to see some of the celebrities, like Leah Thompson, and Ray Park, and Nichelle Nichols looked great, and Brent Spiner looked exactly like he did back in the day when he played Data. Claudia Wells looked a bit rough, and I think Levar Burton was there, but he must be a ninja or something because every time I turned around, he was gone...but you don't have to take my word for it! HA!
Anyway, we had crazy amounts of fun, and I was really encouraged by the Indie filmmakers I met, and I hope to meet more in the next few weeks, as the Rabid one and I plan our Indie filmmaking week for Creative Loafing. Oh, it ought to be good!
I want to be a writer when I grow up. This blog is my journey. I will become a better writer, better husband, better Dad and a better movie geek.

MegaCon the travels
The road to MegaCon was a tough one, filled with crazy shennanigans, and lots and lots of drinking. The good news, however, is we found Margaritaville! Our home, the beacon of chilaxing was in Orlando, right where we left it. We had live music, and lots and lots of beer and cheeseburgers in paradise in an effort to prepare us for what laid ahead. Once we got to the Con, however, we realized we had not done enough drinking, because walking in was like getting hit with a big metaphorical truck of nerd-ism. The place was crazy, and so busy, it took forever to cross the room, but as we navigated the throngs of nerds, we realized something about ourselves that day...we were the coolest people in the room....well, second coolest, next to Ray Park.
So, after going through the floor, looking at comics, celebrities, sword fighting, t-shirts, and painting, we managed to gather ourselves up for the work that laid ahead...MOVIES! Finally, something that's up my alley.
Oh, yes, and then, there was Monkey Love! (Videos courtesy of the incredibly talented Rabid Nick!)

the Road to Megacon
This is going to be a multi-post piece about the trials and tribulations of MegaCon, the nerd-fest I went to with the rest of the 3 Guys stafff this weekend. It was a weekend of fun, drinking, film stuff, and lots and lots of underage, barely clothed girl ass. Anywho, here is the hilarious video the Rabid One posted.
