Quick weekend recap. Went to Blizzard event at Laguna Art Museum on Thursday with Brian. Ray Gresko was an angel, and took the time to introduce us around. Met Chris Metzen, Gerald Brom, Mike Morhaime, Jay Wilson, and Chris Sigaty. Every single one of them was charming, clever, and a joy to chat with. Blizzard hires good people.

Popped my BlizzCon cherry. Played the new worgen and goblin classes in WoW, and gave Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 test runs. The voice and dance competitions were hilarious, and there was some pretty amazing cosplay action going on. The Mistress of Pain (Diablo 3) and Kel’Thuzad were particularly awesome. Panels were fun and informative. Had every intention of posting commentary and pics (even tried to video the Illidan bit in the trailer), but then realized my pics suck, my video is jumpy, and any info anyone wants on Blizz is likely online long before my fingers can twitter it out. I am, happily, now up to my tits in murlocs.

Yesterday, we participated in Gris Grimly’s Tales of Death & Dementia book launch at Dark Delicacies. The crowd was fun, and there was a very upbeat, energetic vibe. Gris, Liz, Sue, Del, and Lisa are fantastic, lovely people, and we’re so happy to have been a part of this launch.

Really, there are few things in the world that beat working with people you love and respect.

Gris’ illustrations are fucking brilliant. If you haven’t bought the book, you really, really need to.

Weekend recap done. Back to work!
