Nerd to Hipster in One Day

Wow, long time, no update.
I need an app on my Blackberry so I can write on a whim.
My laptop is not always accessible when my thoughts are.
I guess I could write them down on paper, and type them up.
That seems like a lot of extra work.
My phone is always with me.
BB, make me an app so I can utilize!!


That's just my rant for the day.

The real reason for this post is to write about my fun Saturday:

Yesterday, Hubs and  I went to the Baltimore Comic Con.
Whoa, NERD ALERT.
I was seriously one of the coolest people there, besides Hub's and his (comic)friends of course.
Ahhh, ego boost.
Other than meeting some cool people (AND Todd McFarlane, creator of Spawn), it was really boring.
I'm not going to lie.
There was really nothing there that interested me and I didn't want to go in the first place.
But I couldn't let Hubs go alone.
So, like a good sport, I went along for the ride and held all his crap while he browsed, shmoozed and googled.
[I'd like to point out there were also several other good wives/girlfriends at Comic Con, doing the same amount of carrying stuff, staring into space and smiling like they were having fun.  Maybe we should start a club.]
All in all, I made it through and got some exercise to boot.
I AM excited for the NYC Comic Con.  That one will be more up my alley - it's not all about comic books.  TV and movie schtuff will be there to entertain me.  And, it's in NYC, woot!

After my foray into Geekdom, I went the hipster route with my girls.

We went to this awesome place called HMAC (Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center), enjoyed some $2 PBR pounders and listened to the sounds of Eli Charleston and his ragtime music.
They had a costume contest so there were tons of people dressed in 1920s apparel.
It was hipster-ish, yes, but there was still a great amount of diversity, especially age wise.
I met some new people, looked cute and got drunk.  Score.
