While we were drinking…

Here’s some of what’s been going on in the outside world.

Revenge of the Sith won two DVD awards. Also on the official site, November 2006 Comics.

Speaking of comics, don’t bother looking for Legacy #3 in stores. It was supposed to come out today (the schedule even said so until this morning) but it’s… not. Word on the boards is that last week’s books didn’t ship either. (I don’t know: I only buy Legacy.) Dark Horse isn’t the only one: Something is rotten in the comics industry.

“May the force be with you” tops online quote poll. And I don’t think TFN linked the poll, which means it might actually have won fair and square. Cool.

Some new Star Wars miniatures debuted at GenCon. The set includes a “Mystral” Shadow Guard, but unless they came with booze and/or naked men, I don’t think any of us noticed. Also, it seems they’re restarting the RPG.

Colleen Doran witnesses The Fan From Hell. I think we’ve found one that beats the Woodtick, folks.

Those damn Harry Potter plagiarists made it all the way up the fannish blog chain to John Scalzi. Twice.

Other stuff I would have blogged:
– NASA has misplaced the original moon landing tapes. Our tax dollars at work!
– Daniel Radcliffe is down with Harry Potter dying.
– Crazy mofo has “temporary” Wolverine piercing. My hand hurts just looking at it.
– Hayden Christensen making some movie.
– Things writers have no control over. (Add to the list: Killing Chewbacca.)
– The Top 8 Shows For SF Myth Busters.
– 11 Things in Fantasy/That I Don’t Promise Not to Use (or Keep Using) in My Writing and 6 More Things I Could do Without in Fantastic Literature & I don’t plan to use except to make fun of.

Things learned from 10 years of JadeCon

  • Don’t light sparklers in a gazebo when it’s raining.
  • Don’t duct-tape decorations to the suite walls.
  • Don’t tell the Darksiders you’re hungry.
  • Don’t put marzipan in Jello.
  • Do not, under any circumstances, substitute tequila for vodka.
  • No matter how much alcohol you’ve had, never let Yav duct tape a padawan braid to your hair.
  • When meeting a fellow Jader for the first time, you can just tell.
  • When Jessa asks for ice, darn it, you shlep the ice. (Karrdes only.)
  • If you see a CJer doing something that you know cannot possibly turn out well… Get a camera.
  • What happens at JadeCon, stays at JadeCon. Unless Dunc blogs it.
  • Invoke the name.
  • It really sucks putting your hands down Hayden’s shirt.
  • It’s always those damn Harry Potter plagiarists’ fault.

No hangover!

Ha ha! Did sleep late, though. Made it in and out of the shower with only 15 minutes to Mary’s LFL presentation.

I commandeered a luggage cart!

Then pirate stuff, seminars, naked Luke dolls… I dunno. You’d think, being Club Jade and all, we’d be more about the naked Luke dolls, but… Not so much. Obi and Qui and Maul, sure. Han? Okay. Luke? Meh.

Oh, and last night? Those Damn Harry Potter Plagarists stole Jaina’s shoes. I bet they slipped all that vodka into my drink, too. DAMN YOU CASSIE CLAIRE!
