You Asked For It: “Sexy” Kool-Aid Man Costume
I’m beginning to worry about you all. Sure, I get the sexy shark costume. Sharks are dangerous. Sexy Boba Fett I understand. I mean, it’s Boba. But the Kool-Aid Man? This is the “sexy” Halloween costume you wanted me to wear? Lucky for you, even if I begin to worry, […]
Con*Quest: The Con Adventure Journal
While at NYCC, I came across a fantastic new tool for convention goers: Con*Quest, a con adventure journal. The journal, a successful Kickstarter project, is a way to keep all of your autographs, sketches, prints, business cards, and photos in one place. It’s like a scrapbook or smash book for geeks. […]

Last-Minute Summer Entertaining (And Teagaritas!)
When summer hits Seattle, everyone suddenly changes from anti-social Seattleites to extremely friendly neighbors.

I like to be prepared with food and drink when people come over, so I’ve […]
