WonderConnin'
February 10th-12th is WonderCon at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. I'll be there as a writer and a fan. It's one thing to go a huge convention like San Diego but this will be the first time I'll be going to convention that takes place where I live. I must good use of my home-field advantage.
The best I can do is to recommend anyone dropping by to pick up Broke-Ass Stuart's Guide to Living Cheaply in San Francisco. You can order it from the site or pick it up at the fine retailers listed on Stuart's website (you're going to the Isotope on Friday anyway, right?). After getting to SF, checking in to a hotel and paying the entrance fee to the con you'll want some food and alcohol and you'll want it cheap. Well just turn to the "Market & SOMA" and "Union Square/Financial District" sections of Mr. Stuart’s guide and start living the dream. Stuart knows his stuff and he writes like Kevin. Mr. Sime got me this guide the week I moved here and I've been using it since. It's good and good for you.
SFist is a type of blog for the city that spotlights events, news and trends of interest for those living here. Check it out from time to time to find something cool that will give you break from the world of comic bookery.
The San Francisco Independent Film Festival is happening at the same time as the con so perhaps you'll want to check that out. They've got a documentary on Tommy Chong, a documentary on the word "fuck" (entitled Fuck) and on the 12th the festival will close with the latest film by Visitor Q director Takashi Miike. It's a children's film.
