I am finally home from a long but exciting weekend at WonderCon where I was working a small press booth for High Voltage. Highlights from the weekend include a sneak peak at Wayward Pines, The Orphan Black panel, my new boba-tastic t-shirt, meeting so many cool people, and having all sorts of fun with our High Voltage fill in the blank fandom buttons (mine said I was a fan of live music most of the weekend). All I really want to do right now is go through all my WonderCon goodies, but it’s Sunday so I must spend some time preparing for the sadly cosplay-less week ahead.
Musically speaking, we’ve got some promising shows. I missed Elliott Brood at SXSW, so I’m hoping to catch them at The Satellite this week. Another can’t miss would be the Young Romans record release show Saturday night at The Hotel Cafe.
