Speaking of conventions in San Diego, comma_con is going on right now.  They are doing it both live and virtually.  Free to steam online and $99 if you want to go in person.  Other than the benefits of being there in person, the $99 gets you gets food and drink.  I think that's a good way to run a con going forward.  There's no reason not to cater to both audiences.

We walked by Petco before the game yesterday, it was nice being in SD and reminiscing about all our regular spots.  Also we saw Manny Machado on Coronado at a sushi place the day before that.

TOO MUCH HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE

It is odd how excited I am about SDCC SE badge sales tomorrow.  Even though I logically know this will be a small Con, and that securing badges _probably_ won't be as stressful as SDCCI (note: as a Pro it shouldn't really be that stressful for me at all).  But I'm still hyped for that invigorating rush of logging in/waiting to be a "chosen cheerio"/securing badges for the fam & friends.  I haven't gone through this rush/"thrill of the hunt" since late summer/early fall 2019 and I'm legit excited to get back into this brand of crazy again!!

*addendum*
I just logged into my CCI Account, and clicked the link for Badge Registration and got _really_ excited for a minute when it looked like it was taking me into sales.  I got a 'waiting room' type of thing, and then almost immediately was told I'd be moved into the buying room.  I was all "wait; is there a glitch in this matrix?!" before being taken to the "sales aren't live yet dummy"-esque page that I presume will be 'live' tomorrow at this time  :P

I miss this silliness... ;)

because we all want to see T.rex in a Christmas jumper



Quote
A giant Christmas jumper has been created for a Tyrannosaurus Rex at London's Natural History Museum.

The animatronic T.rex is sporting the festive knit, which has been made by a family-run firm in Leicester.

British Christmas Jumpers has previously produced sweaters for Ed Sheeran and the Houses of Parliament.

Director Snahal Patel said the latest design was the company's biggest job yet and took staff 100 hours to complete.

This robot looks like it's CGI but it's real.  I think this company has found the right spot to avoid the uncanny valley.

On the surface, Tiger Woods has always been as cool as can be. However, the golf legend is sometimes just like the rest of us. On Wednesday night, Tiger’s 14-year-old daughter, Alexis, shared a jaw-dropping fact about her dad.

“He goes to Comic Con dressed as Batman,” she said during her speech.

Wait a second. Seriously? We’re going to need some proof eventually, because this is incredible. Something tells us Tiger would make a great Batman.

“@TigerWoods can you do us a solid and at least let us know the year you went to Comic Con dressed as Batman…just trying to save ppl hours and hours of mindlessly searching past comic con pictures. 😂,” a fan tweeted.
