Alpha Nerds And Bullies Within Fan Groups

Lake Charles, LA Let me start off by saying that this post will probably tick off a few people.  It will most likely tick off those good folks who believe that they are not exactly what they appear to be.  They don’t see themselves as the problem that I’m about to yap about, but theyContinue reading “Alpha Nerds And Bullies Within Fan Groups”

A Fun Run

Central City and, uh, The CW I’m going to come right out and say that I love The CW’s new show, The Flash.  Having been lucky enough to see the old John Wesley Shipp version of the series and being really ticked off when that show was dropped (Does that mean I was Firefly beforeContinue reading “A Fun Run”

Houston, TX Two years ago there was a convention that took place in the summer in Houston, TX.  That convention was Space City Con.  It was a somewhat small event (for such a big city) but it had an atmosphere of excitement about it.  Last year, Space City returned in a much, much bigger way.  The venueContinue reading “The Houston Con, August 8-11, 2014”

Are The Jedi Really The Good Guys???

We all know what those words mean.  Whenver we see them pop onto a screen or on the opening pages of a book, it becomes apparent that we are about to enjoy something from the Star Wars saga.  I recently read the four Republic Commando novels writtenContinue reading “Are The Jedi Really The Good Guys???”

Lake Charles, LA On Saturday, July 19th, I attended a wonderful party in celebration of the twenty year anniversary of the U.S.S. Lafitte/C.A.T.S.
