Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
No, it wasn't a Creation con. I don't know how to answer "what kind of con", I'm afraid. The guy running it said he'd run "many" conventions before, and is based in Germany. I've no idea who he is, except that his name is Marc. I think it was him and a bunch of local volunteers. I'm suspicious of what cons he's actually run, because they totally didn't seem to know how to handle the amount of people they dealing with. It was a great con, just kinda badly handled on certain aspects. (Once registration tops 250, you ought to know it's not going to be a "small, intimate party for our supporters" anymore. IJS.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oooh, can we decide what shows are "genre" and which aren't again? I like that having that discussion way better when it doesn't involve going to Lightbulbs. Unless it'll get all messy here. Then, no.

Starsky & Hutch had ZebraCon going back to 1979.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, and I went to four Nikita cons, so.

Meaning, not science fiction or fantasy.
eta I don't wanna have the genre/non-genre discussion! I'm just reporting what was stated, rather proudly, at the con, regardless of whether they were right.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
LFN isn't a genre show, is it? That's my one con, right there. I mean, for values of "genre" that equal SFF. If "genre" equals fannish, then they are, especially...if they have a con.
I'm obviously biased on the John Rogers front, but I've been a fan of his almost as long as I've been a friend. He's good people, and has apologised for both Catwoman and The Core.

Yeah, but Leverage is BOTH! It just doesn't know it. (I got Paul to stop rolling his eyes by saying, "Look, just pretend they are all superheroes and set your disbelief sensors on "Comic book."")

I liked The Core ! I apologize for nothing. I didn't even see Catwoman, so I can say nothing. I can snicker, but I can't say anything. (He was extraordinarily nice, and of course funny. Everyone loved him. He was onstage with Mark Sheppard a couple times, and they should take that show on the road.)

Heh. Yeah, that's the truth. I keep looking at the scene where Gina and Parker escape Sterling by leaping off the roof, and there's just no way to make that even remotely possible. Unless Parker can fly.
