So I've been thinking about the GRC and something that can be done there other than standing around waiting in lines, drinking, being retarded, and all around wasting valuable time.
At first I thought about video blogging or podcasting, but those are sorta of tired and quite frankly waste more of my time than I care to admit. (Note: When's the last time you actually saw me post a finished podcast or video blog? Exactly.)
I'd much rather shoot something stupid and edit and post later.
And that got me thinking... some of my favorite people will be there so maybe... just maybe... I can do a "Spotlight on..." feature.
Do a shitload of interviews of people I care about at the con and not necessarily what anybody else would give a shit about.
I honest to Teenage Jesus have more interest in a 30-minute interview/spotlight on say "Crazy Steve, the Battle hardened ruler of the Kingdom of Macrocrania" than I do of anyone from Hasbro or any actual guest of the con.
Perhaps he'll let me put that together.
You've not seen quality video camera work unless you've seen it done by someone who's just drank a bottle of Jack Daniels!!!
Being somewhat local to the con would allow me to bring the broadcast quality video camera and such without it being a pain-in-the-ass airline burden.
And maybe I can buy the rights to help develop Carbies, "the doll that turns into a car but you can't deny it is a doll" toyline!
If I come, then surely you'll resurrect the awesome "Kelmeister Standing In Front Of Famous People" series, because that would be awesome.
Well, duh, of course.
But, why does it have to be anything more than past years? You know it all ends up being a little ghey anyway, aside from "running retard", much drinking, and strange encounters with voice actors.
the current plan, assuming we don't suddenly come up with huge financial hardships, is that I'm going this year. It's near the date of the wife and I's anniversary so she's coming too. We'll probably pend as much time there as we do not there really. Part of our regular anniversary "tradition" is to go to a city and go to the zoo. Exciting eh? Anyway, part of if I actually go or not may also depend on if the exclusives are worth bothering with.
Hell, I'd try pitching Carbies to everyone and anyone. Bonus points if you can get Peter Cullen as the voice of every single character in the animated tie-in.
First we need an appropriate slogan like, "Carbies-transform and make out!"
