NYCC 09: First Impressions.

February 6th, 2009

*What is it with comic conventions and kitty cat ears? Is it something I miss out on by not watching enough anime/reading manga? Clearly, must investigate further.

*Paid $4.25 for Vitamin Water. I now cannot afford to eat.

*Panel rooms look vaguely like holding cells. Giant cement pillars, greyish-beigeish walls, rows of chairs…

*Lots of women, at least at the Disney panel. This is a Good Thing.

*Still seeing giveaway bags with Hellboy II: The Golden Army on them. Left over from the summer cons?

*Apparently the things that look like toilet seats around people’s necks are promos for Dead Like Me.

    A number of weeks back, I saw a news segment all about how Vitamin Water is a big scam by the Coca-Cola company.
    Apparently, it’s not just a matter of “it’s generally kind of better for you to get your vitamins via foods or, if you must, dedicated supplements” but that the very process of trying to deliver vitamins pre-diluted in water is basically useless.
    People are still falling for it?

    Those most likely are toilet seats. In the show the main character George was killed by a toilet seat that fell from the Mir space station.
