The Strange and Terrible Confluence of St. Patrick's Day and St. Jean Luc Picard Day

iFretNot.com does WonderCon in Anaheim, CA. Headline news n' stuff.

Scuttlebutt around the station says that this is some sort of conspirational test run for stealing the San Diego Comic-Con, and I suppose a small part of me wanted to attend in a Spider Jerusalem, steaming-genitals-of-truth kind of way.

I live in San Diego and the drive to Anaheim is not normally a frightening one. This St. Patrick's day of 2012 was a beer of another color. Green.

I stopped playing World of Warcraft (WOW) and started playing Star Wars The Old Republic (SWTOR). Wow was my introduction to the wild and zany world of MMORPG’s (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) and some of my fondest gaming moments happened in the world of Azeroth. I’m sure Blizzard Entertainment (the games creators) could tell me the exact amount of time I’ve spent on their servers and let me tell you: I don’t want to know! Why leave then you ask? Well the answer is multifaceted. It should be noted however that my experience was just that, my experience.

Good news for people who love good news! We will be covering the madness at WonderCon and reporting every hot minute of sweaty, stale, jedi.

My lovely photographer Amanda will be with me to capture all the sights, we might even have an audio recorder for sounds, and if futurama has taught us anything it's that smells can be recorded, too. Look for the latter sometime later this century.
