“Life In The So-Called Space Age”
Friday is KLS’s birthday, and once again we’re turning it into an event by attending New York Comic Con.
This year we upgraded to VIP tickets. No lines for us! We walk the path of kings!
Expect all the usual nonsense here on this blog as I experience the madness of NYCC. I’ll do my best to get shots of the wildest, wackiest, otakuest and maybe even prettiest 😉
I wonder if we’ll see any cosplay better than this:
Oh yes! I have prepared a costume… watch for it on Saturday 🙂
Operation ‘First Fleet’ is confirmed.
Operatives ‘Slim Dusty’ and ‘Banjo Patterson’ will disembark at Mascot in 81 days. Though their transports will be different, they have synchronized their schedules to arrive near simultaneously. While their identities are a closely kept secret, here are artists sketches (SD on the left):
Shortly after arrival they will rendezvous with their local contact, ‘Henry Lawson’, who will provide a safe house from which the operation will be carried out. Lawson’s current appearance is uncomfirmed, but he is believed to have not changed much since this photograph was taken:
The operation will last for roughly three weeks, and the principle mission objectives are:
– Interact with locals, especially those working as vendors in fast-food restaurants
– Determine via personal experimentation the sugar content of local sweets and toroidal baked cakes
– Carry out rigorous experiments to estimate payout percentages of local lottery tickets and gambling machines
– While not performing the above, activate ‘profligate wastrel’ disguises to keep mission objectives secret
Operatives will regularly report on progress via this or a similar channel. Stay tuned…
We’re back in the USSA!
I took no photos of note today, so here’s a bonus one from earlier in the trip:
Yes it’s Batisse again! What a goat 🙂
Anyway it’s late and I’m tired. Canada 2013 was a big success. It turns out that the World of Frogs only a few hours north of here is a pretty nifty place to visit, and I reckon one day I’ll be back…
