Con September 3-7, 2009:
The
show seemed like there was record attendance again this year. If you didn't get
your badge by Thursday afternoon, you had about a two hour minimum wait with the
line wrapping around an entire city block on three sides. The steam punk
theme was very prevalent this year including the steam punk themed band Abney
Park putting on a great show to a packed ballroom. We stayed up late and
saw a lot of fantastic shows, all the while taking in plenty of eye candy and
consuming significant amounts of "refreshing beverages". We
didn't host a room party this year, we just all hung out "loudly" in the
adjoining rooms. Some photos of the costumes are posted
here.
FX
Show, May 2009:
The FX Show,
short for the “Florida Extravaganza”,
started
in 1989 as a small toy and comic book convention
celebrated its 20th Anniversary this year.
It has now grown to be one of the largest entertainment and collectible venues
in the U.S.
Through
my company, CMI
Operations, LLC, I usually work the show in some capacity, either as IT
support, convention registration, or section manager. I also have a retail
booth for CMI Toys. This year, I was a
show floor assistant and my jobs entailed everything from supervising the FX
Exclusives booth, network connectivity for registration, 2-way radio
distribution, exhibitor booth support, to general task support as needed
throughout the weekend. Read

Washington,
D.C. January 2009, pre-inauguration
week. We were in Washington, D.C. in the week leading up to Barak Obama's inauguration on Tuesday, January 20th, 2009. The feeling
was like the calm before the great storm. There were port-a-potties as
far as you could see!!! You can see more on this topic at
