The best party I never went to
Posted in rants & nostalgia by Jean-Claude Van Doom
This strange journey of mine toward becoming a semi-respected comic book journalist reached a new high today. A comic publisher (not saying who) invited me to a fancy and semi-exclusive launch party. I guess that’s what happens when you’re the only guy in mainstream media who specializes in comics.
But… The Super Party is in San Diego, during the Comic Con. And I will be very far from the Left Coast come Con time. So, no party for this journalist. I’ll be packing up my stuff (including the many boxes of books) and heading for Atlanta. Hooray for moving!
I guess I’ll just reside in the knowledge that even big-time-fancy-pants-rumormonger Rich Johnston won’t be there either. Maybe next year…
Congrats on the invite… I understand your pain… I received an invite as well, (probably not the same company though…maybe)… Anyway, I LIVE on the Left Coast and still can’t make it to San Diego…
Oh the pain.
We just need a geeky financier to bankroll our nerdventures.
Indeed, as understanding “better halves” can only take us so far!
