Hello my imaginary friends,
I hope you’re having a great week. Mine’s been awesome!
ComicCon
This past weekend was Ottawa ComicCon. Roughly 40,000 people crammed into the convention centre and enjoyed all things geeky. It was amazing.
Jen and I had a booth. This meant that the past month has been spent preparing and stressing. Our house looks like a mini Godzilla has passed through and deposited yarn, button pieces, and coffee all over the place.
All our preparation was well worth it. I nearly sold out of coffee and Jen’s stock was at least halved. (She hasn’t been this low since we started selling.) We did really well, yay!
We also met all kinds of awesome people. Thank you for stopping by and talking with us, it was great to share my passion for coffee with so many others.
Important links
We talked about a lot of things. If you’re trying to find something specific, check here:
- CON Creative Ottawa Nerds (A cool craft and artisan fair)
- Travel Agent information (Jen’s information as a travel agent)
- Green Beanery (Where I get my beans)
- CapCON (bi-annual Plastic Scale Model Contest. The contestants are amazing.)
Awesome Kickstarter
A Match Made in Austen is a new Kickstarter for a card game based off the world of Jane Austen’s novels. If you’ve always wanted to see how Darcy and Emma would get along (probably terribly), this is the game for you.
The base game is $25 and you get a free ebook with it. You can’t beat that price.
My Reading Quest
I’ve been going through my extensive library and reading the first in a bunch of series. The goal is to find out what I am keeping and what I’m getting rid of.
I read Tempest by Julie Cross and loved it. Here’s my review:
A rare book that doesn’t spend to much time on the mechanics of time travel. I love that the author is able to show us the same person in different stages of their lives and makes it believable. I look forward to reading the sequels.
I give it a 75%
What are you excited for right now?
