Sydney Supanova Popculture Expo

So I've been out and about flying down to Sydney and across to Perth for the series of cons that are called Supanova Popculture Expos. Sydney was a blast. Thanks to all who came out and said hi, and the organizers for making it a fun time. Smoothest run thing I've ever seen. They really take care of the guests. This was what it looked like before the masses were allowed entry.

Much drinking and eating was also done.

Joe Jusko

Joe Jusko is very awesome. Don't let anyone tell you different. Plus, he's an excellent painter.

Bonus points to Sydney for having a real CBD, purposeful landscape and design of it's city to make it look pretty. I wish Perth did the same. maybe it'll get it's act together in a decade or so. Things *are* changing in my home city.

I had the greatest friggin' time down there! You're a cool dude, Templesmith, no matter WHAT people say about you.

Aww, that means a lot man, *especially* considering "what people say about me" is usually completely true! Especially the baby eating bit. Just can't go past that taste. It's like Veal but better!

And you can get rid of the leftovers in one of those cyclonic Aussie toilets you guys have down there! :-)
