ReBoot

I just came back from Dragon*Con, which is, I believe, the second largest multifandom con in the US.  I went with a fellow ReBoot fan, and for 4 days we stayed in the hotel, went to panels, bought stuff, walked around in costume, posed for pictures, collected autographs, fell in love with Vic Migniola (but didn't learn how to spell his name), haunted the con suite, and generally escaped from Real Life to act like total nerds for a while.  It was glorious.

On a conference call with Rainmaker and Z2H about a month ago I suggested putting out flyers for the ReBoot Revival at the con.  People scour the grab-me tables for stuff that might interest them, so why not use that for ReBoot and Z2H?  Well, that never happened (siiigh) but I did wear my icon and ReBoot shirt, and pimp the revival to anyone who commented on them.  Most fans were stunned and then thrilled to hear about ReBoot coming back.  Only a few already knew about Z2H, the webcomic, etc.  So, I spread the word, emphasizing that for it to succeed the fans would have to actively support it.

I went to a webcomics panel.  I would have anyway, but this year I had the idea of mentioning Z2H, and how ReBoot was being brought back first as a Webcomic, showing how The Big Guys were realizing how popular webcomics are.  Well, the opportunity didn't present itself, as there were ten panelists, and literally all there was time for was the intros and then five, count them five all-panelist questions.  Ah well.  Maybe next year, of the ReBoot webcomic is there, we can represent.  HINT HINT.

By the way, if you were there on Friday or Saturday night and saw someone walking around  in Frank N. Furter drag, that was me.
