So for those Whitechapelers insane enough dedicated enough to go this year, what will you be checking out? I've definitely penciled in the BURN NOTICE prequel movie and the Garth Ennis STITCHED premiere. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=301067#Comment_301067 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=301067#Comment_301067 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 09:38:10 -0700 Everett http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=301085#Comment_301085 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=301085#Comment_301085 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 11:19:28 -0700 Brandon Seifert does anybody know if warren ellis going?You serious?

Warren does U.S. con appearances so rarely that they get announced way ahead of time. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=301155#Comment_301155 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=301155#Comment_301155 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:26:15 -0700 Yskaya trickster event most of the time: cartoonbrew gives a nice synopsis and locale idea.

Even so, I am interested in the Captured Ghosts panel, just to see what they have to say. Probably the biggest Hollywoody thing I'm gunning for is Game of Thrones, and I may brave Hall H on Sunday for Doctor Who, we'll see. If the line is too insane at GoT, though, I'll be happy to wander over to Charlie Huston instead.

Will also be doing everything in my power to get into Locke & Key.

And of course the CBLDF auction... the trip is our honeymoon, and for wedding favors we donated to the CBLDF for everyone. We asked them if there was any way we could get into the auction (we don't have Saturday tix), and they said they'd see what they could do... a couple weeks later they announce that for the first time the auction is held off-site and open to all. So that's pretty neat. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=301897#Comment_301897 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=301897#Comment_301897 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 09:10:27 -0700 izenmania http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=302969#Comment_302969 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=302969#Comment_302969 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 22:57:12 -0700 izenmania http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303139#Comment_303139 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303139#Comment_303139 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 13:49:32 -0700 chris g muppet, which made me kind of sad inside. Antony Johnston got up there and had nice things to say about Warren. But they didn't really screen the movie so much as play a couple minutes, then talk about it, then play a couple of minutes and so on.
they also showed the trailer for the Grant Morrison movie. I couldn't understand his accent worth a fuck. Don't get me wrong, I love that man but the trailer makes him look like he's super into himself and his whooaaa way out there ideas. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303162#Comment_303162 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303162#Comment_303162 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 19:22:45 -0700 D.J. the "special guest" was a Warren Ellis muppet

Didn't buy much, as I was trying to avoid hog wild additions to the library. However, I made an exception for the new Fantagraphics book Tim Kreider's TWILIGHT OF THE ASSHOLES, an incredibly acerbic collection of political cartoons and commentary on America that would make the overpaid clowns passing as political pundits look like cretins. Favorite comment comes after Kreider meets this intelligent guy who's getting shipped off to Iraq. The meeting inspired in Kreider a desire to ambush Paul Wolfowitz in a dark alley with a jar of Vaseline and an American flag attached to one of those staffs with an eagle with open beak and outstretched wings. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303310#Comment_303310 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303310#Comment_303310 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 08:50:55 -0700 izenmania * Line for Thursday badge pickup: giant.
* Epic Fantasy panel with Pat Rothfuss, GRRM and others: fell asleep a little.
* Penn & Teller: Penn & Goddamn Teller.
* Dr. Horrible Sing-Along: headache.
* Charlie Huston: glad the line for Game of Thrones was so long. No way they were having that much fun.
* Eisners: Hosts not funny, local shop failed to win or place, got free comics, went home.
* Saturday: Fuck that noise, I'm going to the zoo. Also, failing to buy anything at the CBLDF auction, but still came out $300 lighter.
* Doctor Who: Fun panel? Yeah. Worth 2 hours in the H-line to get in 15 minutes late and stand in the back? Less so. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303359#Comment_303359 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303359#Comment_303359 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 15:12:18 -0700 Brian Schirmer
My own Con experience was actually rather positive. Only made it to one panel - Grant Morrison's unmoderated, solo gig. Otherwise, I spent the bulk of my time meeting up with friends and colleagues, some of whom I only ever get to see in San Diego. Also took part in this odd SDCC writer/artist speed-date thingy - 25 of each met in a room, and you've got five minutes with each person, checking out their respective work, shooting the shit, sizing up. I met about twenty artists, four or five of whom I'll email and open a dialogue. Whole process was a bit awkward, but if it yields fruit, then so be it.

I also devoted to the "counterprogramming" known as Tr!ckster. This was a mash-up of bookstore, wine bar, and salon, all dedicated to creator-owned works. They also had eight or so symposiums over the four days, each on a different topic. I took in both "Building a Creator-Owned Creative Team" and "World Building". Participants included Greg Rucka, B. Clay Moore, Ivan Brandon, Mike Allred, and more. Fantastic times. Two hours a pop. Only twenty to twenty-five people in attendance. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303377#Comment_303377 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303377#Comment_303377 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:16:49 -0700 Warped Savant It wasn't her that won it, but she was accepting it on behalf of a comic shop in Isreal. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303395#Comment_303395 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=303395#Comment_303395 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:02:04 -0700 Yskaya http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=304157#Comment_304157 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10015&Focus=304157#Comment_304157 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 08:50:08 -0700 Jamie Coville I got a few pictures of her accepting the award, but she's the only person I couldn't find a name to match the face.
