Nerd Fest

So I paid tribute to Dave old school. A buddy was off to the Comic and Entertainment Expo so I got to go. Unfortunately, I couldn’t track down my Spok ears or any superhero costumes and when I wanted to live my dreams through my children (I thought they would like to wear theirs) T shot that idea down quickly (I guess I need not spread the nerdness). Anyway, a couple of highlights were coming spitting distance from Kevin Sorbo, Smallville’s Micheal Rosenbaum and Sulu.  Secondly I didn’t tell Jonah and Nathaniel anything except we were going to the comic convention, aka “comic dump” in Jonahs words.  So when Jonah saw the full sized Stormtrooper coming toward him in the crowd the look was priceless. He slowed down and his eyes got as big as saucers, he then totally lost himself as the Stormtrooper walked by. He then turned a gave a “hey, did you just see what I saw” look. It was worth the price of admission.  After wandering around dodging Klingon’s, Jedi’s and Manga characters we did get to spend some time along the artist row. Without raising a huge debate on high or low culture, of pop art verses traditional, I have to say there was some great art, some real beautiful pieces. If you want to venture into the question of what does art do? How it speaks to truth etc. My buddy Ben wrote up a article here. Anyway, now that some I got my fill of Nerdness its time for some Old school Dave.
