November 2nd, 2008!

Yesterday I blogged about a Comic Con being held in Dublin, Ireland on the dates of November 22nd and 23rd of 2008.

A little closer to 'home' for our USA readers is the upcoming Boston Comic Con, which is being held Sunday, November 2nd, 2008.

This Comic Con is one day only at the Back Bay Events Center.

The Guest List includes:

Peter Laird, who is the co-creator of the TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

Berni Wrightson, who is the co-creator of DC Comics' Swamp Thing!

I have had the pleasure of seeing Berni Wrightson in person, and hearing him speak about his career in the comics industry.

There is no mention on whether or not there are any panels or programs at this one day con....

However, according to the press release, this one day con should be packed with even more 'tables' this convention versus the last Con.

Of course with dealer tables there should be plenty of toys and and other collectibles!

Plus new and old comic books! 

If you live near the Boston area, and have wanted to attend a comic convention, this one day affair could be the one to get you into the 'comics world' if you aren't already....

For those of you that are new to our blog today, we also have an ongoing 'Comics Show and Pop Culture Convention' ourselves here at "Make It So Marketing Inc.", what with our daily blog posts and new listings of items for sale in our online store!

Thanks for reading this blog post today, and please join us again for more!

Note: If you are involved in comics or other pop culture genre, and have an upcoming comic book, graphic novel or other release or are holding an upcoming convention that may be of interest to us and / or our blog readers, feel free to email us!

October 15th, 2008 !

Last week I blogged about June Foray attending a collectors show in Burbank, California.

That reminded me that I had attended a special dinner featuring her at the SCCS (Southern California Cartoonists Society - which is the San Diego Chapter of the National Cartoonists Society).

I hadn't checked the SCCS web site for a while, and when doing so, saw their special guest speaker for their October 2008 meeting is Eric Radomski, (pictured below).

Eric Radomski is a three time Emmy Award Winner. He is known for his work in the early 1990's as a background stylist on Steven Spielberg's Tiny Toon Adventures.

From there he went on and developed and produced Batman: The Animated Series, where he won his first Emmy Award.

Eric went on to direct Spielberg's 'Freakozoid', where he won his second Emmy.

For you comics fans out there... Eric went on to win his third Emmy for his work on Todd McFarlane's 'Spawn' series.

If you are in the SoCal area during this date, you might want to mark your calendar to attend....

Thursday October 16th, 2008 from 7 - 10 PM In Los Angeles!

Long time readers of our blog will know that Tina and myself are fans of the TV Show "Lost"!

Matter of fact, we have even blogged about our thoughts of the seasons here, and individual episodes at times like this one with the Comic Book as a main prop...

However, to do the show "right" in a blog, the blogger would need to specialize in that show or genre. Which Tina and I don't do...

So, recently I've become 'Facebook Friends' with Jo JOpinionated, (pictured below), who does do the show "right".

Her blog on 'Lost' is at:

http://jopinionated.blogspot.com/

Additionally her Pop Culture Blog is at:

http://blog.jopinionated.com/

Jo JOpionated just sent me an 'invite' to her upcoming event in Los Angeles, California for October 16th. The event is actually open for the general public, BUT you need to RSVP her  by 10-09-08 at:

jo@jopinionated.com.

Here is her actual invitation as also seen on her blog: 

"Do you watch and enjoy talking about any of these shows: 30 Rock, Bones, Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Dexter, Dirty Sexy Money, Entourage, Friday Night Lights, Fringe, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, House, Life, Lost, Mad Men, The Office, Private Practice, Project Runway, Pushing Daisies, Rescue Me, Samantha Who, Saturday Night Live, Sons of Anarchy, True Blood, Ugly Betty or Weeds?"

",(Jo),  am hosting a casual evening of pop culture conversation at a wine bar in LA, and would love to meet fellow TV & film fans and blog readers in person!"

So if you are in the SoCal area during this date, you might want to RSVP her right now and mark your calendar to attend!

I Wanted To Share With You "My New Find" On TV Shows From The PAST !

I am coming across many more venues for obtaining information on TV Shows & Movies, upcoming comics, and 'in print' or to be published books on pop culture topics that I enjoy since joining Facebook.

The main reason for that is that I read the 'Info' pages of the mny new Facebook Friends to see what they have published or what they are in process of creating!

Billie Rae Bates, (pictured below), is just one of the many new 'Facebook Friends' that I have just become acquainted with.

She has been a professional writer and editor for more than 15 years, including 10 years in the daily newspaper industry.

Here's where it gets really interesting for me and probably several of our blog readers who enjoy TV Shows: 

Billie Rae Bates has already published the BRBTV reference books, which cover the primetime soaps "Dynasty" and "Dallas," the action-adventure hit "The Dukes of Hazzard" and the daytime soap "Santa Barbara"!

As for myself, I was a "Dallas" fan for many years, watching it till the very end. BTW, I also enjoyed "Dynasty" when Joan Collins was on that series!

So if you are or were a fan of any of the above mentioned four shows, you might want to check out your normal sources to obtain these books authored by Billie Rae Bates!

If you are unable to locate a copy of these for yourself or would like to try a .pdf format of the books, you could try her web site, www.BillieRae.com, which also has additional links for her other endeavors including her BRBTV and blog!
