Ooooh a side picture.

Patrick and I became public geeks on the weekend went to the Armageddon Pop Culture expo. It was everything you would expect of a convention like this. Smelly fat dudes, anime costumes, wrestlers, comics, animation voice actors, washed up Sci Fi television actors and actresses, Harry Potter film nobodies, video games, card games and Storm Troopers. At first we just had look around, soaking up the atomsphere, having a look at the booths, grabbing a coffee and watching some video games.
We attended a 1 hour Q/A with animation legend Bruce Timm, mastermind behind the Batman animated series and Justice League Unlimited, and his colleague, voice director Andrea Romano. The crowd was full of nerd enthusiasm but it was definitely the best thing we attended. I also got a book signed and waited far too long in lines. I hate lines. Whilst I was in line Patrick got to the see the grand entrance of WWE wrestlers RVD and Sabu. They were nice enough to charge $30 or so for an autograph and photo, as were the many "stars" of SciFi television. Apparently someone went for the hi-five but got shot down by RVD. Unfortunatly or not I forgot to take my camera but we took Todds video camera so there is a little bit of footage.
