well I just have to say ive been having a good day.

next week mushroomhead is going to be on headbangersball for 2hrs!!!
than commericals were going on, and I cought one for the new mushroomhead cd!!!! man I was jumping up down yesterday, but than today I went to my first comic convention, and I have to say it was fun.

I got to meet James O' barr the creator of the crow, I got him to sign a couple of my stuff. but I found him kinda weird, I mean he acted like the crow just a little to much, or mabey I caught him on a bad day.

than I met anther that I was really hoping to meet, Adam hughes.
he was kind enough to sign my stuff.

and I got 2 jim lee singed batman issues (608).
and I got to see that batman dead end.

so being my first comic convention, i had a real fun time.

James O'Barr is kinda weird. He has the right, I guess. He made the Crow based on a real life story. His wife was murdered infront of him and he was almost killed himself, and I guess that would make anyone seem like a vigilante who hates the world.

ya he was a little dedisturbing when I met him, he didnt speak at all, his friends did all the talking, but I was to exctided to actulley meet!

i had to be hard to right a story thats so close to what happened to him, im sure when he was writting it, it had to be a tough time.
ah well hes still really cool.

Dude I've never been to a comic convention. I've never even heard of one around here. If I did I would go for sure. If anyone hears about a convention somewhere in Toronto tell me!

No disrespect to anyone, but we have to keep the facts straight. :) I guess one could honestly say that O'Barr's fiancé was murdered in a sense, but not in the manner that such a statement might suggest. She was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver shortly before she and O'Barr were to be married. The Crow was O'Barr's way of dealing with the tremendous loss and the resulting hurt and anger, and a ‘love letter’ of sorts to his lost love.
