I'm gonna try to talk a little bit about Gen-Con and Dragon-Con in the next few blog entries I make. Rather than make one or two large posts which few people will read, I hope to make several small posts which few people will read and one person will probably take me off their list because they get tired of seeing me post.
Ummm..oh, first story is my major brush with fame the creators of
Least I Could Do and
Looking for Group two very amusing web-comics. The content isn't afraid to dip into the juvenile humor from time to time, although that is certainly not its key attribute. I say that, so you'll understand that I was sure these lads wouldn't be offended by my actions.
On Saturday I went to the Blind Ferret Entertainment booth (The company that publishes LICD) and picked up a copy of LICD book 5,
Yield to Me.

The book was hilarious, so I decided that I'd buy another book from them. However, I wanted to do it memorably, so whenever the guys at the booth had a free moment I walked up and the following exchange took place.
Me: I wanna buy a book but I'm not sure what to buy?
Blind Ferret Employee: What's the problem?
Me: I'm going to need to use the bathroom in about 10 minutes and I need something to read.
BFE: (Stunned face that lasts for about 30 seconds followed by a thoughtful look)
BFE: Well, it depends on the length. Least I Could Do is mostly panel jokes with few storylines. Looking for Group is full page comics and actual storylines, so if you're gonna be in there awhile, I'd recommend LFG.
Me: (Thinking for a minute) well, it has been mostly fast food and con stuff, its probably not gonna be pretty.
BFE: Looking for Group volume 1, it is. Do you have time to have it signed before you ...ummm...need it??
Me: Sure! That'd be great.
So that was the story of how I bought LFG Volume 1. All the guys at the Blind Ferret Entertainment booth are awesome and they are a blast to joke around with.
