I've done too much cool shit in the last two months to do it all justice in just one post so here's a criminally brief recap...
I Spent 6 weeks living in the Newgrounds office
Mmthat's right, Mike and I got underway with our PoS..sorry Po3 game whilst I stayed in the office apartment for well over a month. Living, breathing, eating and pooping the NG experience. It's pretty much the coolest place on the planet and while I'd love to do a Pigpen and dish up the dirt on all the NG staff members the reality is they're an awesome bunch of guys and I miss them all already. Thanks a lot for everything fellas...
While I was in Philly I also attended the Philadelphia Wizardcon, having never done anything like that before it was a real blast and I got to meet Ted fucking Raimi. SCORE.
Comic-Con
Phlying from Philly, Mike, JohnnyUtah and I touched down in Ol' Sandy Ago for the 2009 Comic-Con. Being a Con virgin it was certainly more painful 'going in' than I had imagined. Continuing the cherry popping analogy it was a little too messy and exhausting for me but nonetheless, I enjoyed myself immensely and intend to have another go at it if I get the chance*.
Seeing giant statues of cartoon characters and people in costume is a surreal and inspiring thing and served to remind me just how far you can take this stuff if you're driven and work hard. Getting your art out there and having it generate real fandom is something I aspire to do. Fat chicks dressed as Naruto characters aside, the one thought I had in my mind the entire time I was there was 'I want this'.
I also met Tommy fucking Wiseau. DOUBLE SCORE.
London
I just returned today from the London meet, it was fun as ever but my apologies to anyone who wanted a bit more Harry. I pussed out early and spent the night with Oney making prank phone calls from the Exp's hotel. I've had enough Newgrounds to last me a while and another meetup on top of it all was more than I could handle.
Finally, I think it's time to sit down and do some work on this Goddamn game. Po3 updatde coming soon. Sorry Mike...

If this made half as much sense as you usually make, then you usually make twice as much sense.
