Mid-Ohio Con

Local commitments are keeping me away from Mid-Ohio Con this year. But I wanted to say that if I could get away, I'd get away to Columbus, Ohio next weekend for Roger Price's annual gathering of comics, TV and film fans. Having attended comic book and s-f conventions across the continent since '70, I've gotten jaded and bored by a lot of them, but Roger hosts one of the friendliest gatherings I've ever attended. The spirit reminds me a lot of the late-seventies San Diego Cons which were just big enough that there was always something to do but not so big that they felt unconquerable. Go here to see the guest list and how to get there. And Roger...sorry I won't be there but I'll try to make it next year.

Funny Folks

If you're even vaguely in the Los Angeles area, I highly recommend Totally Looped. This is a terrific show of improvisational comedy that occurs not nearly often enough. (I didn't phrase that properly but you know what I mean.) The next edition is this coming Friday, November 21, and you can find out all about it at this website. If I can get away, I'll be there. Read my report on an earlier performance and you'll understand why.
