    I've never been before Mike, but a huge congrats to you and PopCritics for being able to land this. I'm guessing you will have a good time. I look forward to the posts from your time there. Too bad both you and Jason could go together.

    He'll be there in spirit. :)

    But physically I'll be curled up in a little ball crying like a baby and screaming "Why not ME, God!? Why not ME?"
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Because you live in friggin' Austin!
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    Um...I was asking God....

    You should live-blog the panels, and post pictures, lots of pictures (and video too). That is, go online and find out what's known about the various shows so that you'll be able to recognize what's news once you're at comic-con. Then sit there and relay everything that's said and shown in real time. If you can manage that (i.e. put us there), I along with a ton of other people will be glued to pop critics, refresh, refresh, refresh.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    There is actually some cool software out there that will allow me to update stuff live, so you see stuff refresh without even reloading...

    Now, if they have wireless there so that live-blogging is a realistic plan, I'll soooo do that :)

    SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!

    ....oh yeah btw, you suck, I'm jealous, I hate your stinking slimy guts, and have a great time!! :D

    That's okay, I guess. I get SXSW and the Austin Film Fest next year. I know it's not the same exactly, but still cool.

    Kudos to Mike for pulling it off so late in the game and to John over at The Movie Blog for helping out. Our goal next year: members of the Masters of the Web panel. Hey, it could happen!
  • The Kid and I · 1 year ago
    Members of the Masters of the Web Panel? Is that like He-Man and the Masters of the Universe?
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    Yes - and they are all going to be wearing Christian Bale tights, capes, and masks...
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    Yes. Yes it is.
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    SXSW - nice!

    The last time I was in Austin was the summer/fall of 1991 when I was TDY at Fort Hood. A group of us would jaunt on over to Austin and check out the band scene. Loved it.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Yeah, Jina and I were talking and you should DEFINITELY get into SXSW next year and that film festival. Would be awesome!
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    Or you guys could just move down here and we could all go. Either way.

    Someday
  • The Kid and I · 1 year ago
    I'll line up a babysitter for the both of us right now! :)
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    How many times do I have to tell you I'm cool to stay by myself! I don't need a babysitter!
  • The Kid and I · 1 year ago
    LOL! I was drinking something when I read that and my drink was so close to being all over the monitor. :)
