My Mostly Harmless Spring Musings

 Heyyyyyyyyyyy, I met the Fonz

I’m from Milwaukee so it was inevitable I’d meet Meet Henry Winkler

The fates have once again brought together (in the same month) Philadelphia Beer Week, Wizard Word Philadelphia Comic Con, and the Philadelphia Writers’ Conference. And that is a good thing, but it does make it a busy month. Whew.

Here is an important warning. Always remember:

What happens at the Writers' Conference stays at the conference (or gets published).

What happens during beer week isn't mentioned ever again.

What happens at a Comic Con is probably on YouTube.

If you have any interest in writing, no matter the genre, and happen to be in the Philadelphia area, then you should stop by Philadelphia Writers’Conference, the PREMIERE writing event in the area. Hands down. Former Governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell will be the opening speaker. Workshops range from novel writing to poetry, from short story writing to social media, from here to eternity. There is something for everyone.

If you don’t have an interest in writing but do like fiction or science and would like express your opinions, then stop by the conference and fling them at me. Or stop by just to say hi. Or buy me a beer. It is Beer Week.

Below are a few photos from the Wizard World Comic Con.

                                

Look who's off their leash

I blinked. My mistake

Just to clear up matters, girls do go to Comic-cons. So knock, knock, knock, on that Penny! (Big Bang Theory reference for my non-geek friends) Here are the Ladies of Comic-Con 2013.

Here are a couple of books I’ve recently read and highly recommend. Gun Machine by Warren Ellis and King of Plagues (A Joe Ledger Novel) by John Maberry.

  
If you haven’t read any of the Joe Ledger series, you are in for a treat. Start with the vol. 1 Patient Zero (clue: zombies).

In other news I found interesting and couldn't resist sharing: The Japanese government was forced to deny the existence of ghosts.  

 I will end these musings with a very sad movie. It brought me to tears.
