#JoCo and Paul & Storm 2016 at NYCC

I just got tickets to go see Jonathan Coulton and Paul & Storm at the Bell House on October 7th! I haven’t seen them since 2010, back at PAX Prime in Seattle, when I went with my West Coast buds.

I remember getting up at 4 AM to drive up to Seattle in the dark. The first 100 people who arrived at PAX got free tickets to see JoCo and Paul/Storm, and we were dedicated to getting those tickets. We decided we were going to cosplay as gangsta versions of Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Peach.

I’m Speaking at New York Comic-Con October 8th!

So, through a series of convoluted circumstances involving Bob Iger, a Darth Maul cosplay gone bad, and an out-of-control ice cream dispenser, I’m going to be representing Outer Places on the October 8th “Science of Star Wars” panel at the NYC 2016 Comic-Con.

This is the third year in a row that I’ve gotten into the NYCC for free due to unforeseen circumstances, and it just goes to show that if you live in New York and make a lot of offerings to the right entities, all your wildest dreams can come true.
