Yes, my lame imitation of Shooby Taylor. Why? Because while in line at WonderCon yesterday, someone from Absolutely Kosher Records (which is based across the bay in Berkeley) was handing out a free sampler cd with the best title ever: Jeffrey Hyman was a Ramone. :p Most of the bands I haven't heard of, but it does have a track by Mr. Taylor as well as Optiganally Yours (with the mention of "from the new album out, er, someday")...and I'm quite happy to say that someone has named their band Thingy. :D
So what else did I get yesterday?
--The Invisibles Book 7: The Invisible Kingdom, so now I have the entire series in trade!
--Strangers In Paradise Book 5, with Terry Moore's signature
--a nifty bit of signed original art from Tom Beland, artist/author of True Story, Swear to God, which I also highly suggest!
--Robot Carnival on dvd, which is insanely hard to find anywhere...
--A Japanese copy of Howl's Moving Castle which is not out in the US as of yet...
--Invincible Book 5: The Fact of Life, which is one of the few remaining comics that I still collect.
So yeah, even though we didn't go to the convention today, both Emm and I believe that we more than got our money's worth yesterday by having all that fun there. I kept thinking, though, that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lynxreign and dhio would have had a field day at this con. Lynxie especially, and I'm pretty sure that he would have spent a good couple hundred dollars on all the neat stuff they had there.
Oh--and on a completely unrelated note, I saw what had to be the funniest and most bizarre episode of Bo-Bobo Bo Bo-Bobo last week. Championship Airplane Noises Using Fans (Bo-Bobo came in second), Bo and Don Patch (my icon here) morphing into a Yu-Gi-Oh-esque hero named Bo Patch, and my favorite, Don Patch playing a stick of butter like a guitar (I kid you not) and singing the lines: "Old Max Yasgur had a farm, B-O-B-O-Bo, And on this farm he had some bands, B-O-B-O-Bo, with a day of peace here and a day of peace there, here a peace, there a peace, three days of music and peace, Old Max Yasgur had a farm, B-O-B-O-Bo..." I just about lost it on that...I highly suggest people watch this show, simply because it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever but it's funny as hell... :)
