Did you go to Comic Con and have an experience worth recounting? The folks at Adventures in SciFi Publishing are looking for funny tales of CC to put on their page. I heard it through @tarynoneill on Twitter, sent them my David Tennant story, and it’s up on their site now. Here’s your chance to share whatever goofiness you went through, and hear about others’ too.
About Bad Astronomy
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

"If things worked the way I wanted them to, any reporter about to do another 'sensational' story on deadly meteors would consult this volume, and bang! common sense would find its way into the news. How strange would that world be?"
-- Adam Savage, Mythbusters"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."

If you’re interested in SF at all check out AISP’s podcast while you’re there. Shaun does a great job.

That tears it! You people had so much fun at Comic Con that I’m really feeling left out.

You can get amusing commentaries from a few ComicCon guests who also report their experiences exploring Southern California. (I lived there from 1963 to 1974.) Listen to the follow-up report starting here for a little background: (BBC)
Tales From Hollywood
I particularly enjoyed David Tennant’s commentary on his LA highway driving experience.

A fair bit of Off Topic, but I found this to be way cool:

My memory was that of reading the blog updates and reading/watching the news coming out of the event that I couldn’t make it to!
At least we will have Dragon*Con in only 14 days!
