Evil Genius Chronicles Podcast for June 26 2026 - I Was Comic Box on a Hand Truck GuyDownload audioOn this show, I play a song from James McMurtry; I set my Waze voice to Chaka Khan; this is an atypical summer; I did less cheap comic shopping at Heroescon than ever; I did more art shopping at Heroescon than ever; this might be my last year of bulk autograph seeking; John K. Snyder III is a great guy; Walt Simonson's autograph line might have broken me on big ticket signatures; if you are going to embezzle then do it all at once and GTFO; I am at an all-time low in enthusiasm for technology but mostly because of billionaires and assholes; AI slop makes all fun stop; I stopped caring about the Pocket Mage; I was tempted by an XTeink X4 but probably won't buy it; I will probably still buy a Micimike; our computers and phones from pre-2025 are going to be like 1959 Cuban cars; do I really need a new 3D printer?

Getting caught up in the moment and buying stuff you wouldn’t normally buy is totally a comic convention thing. #HeroesCon

That wraps up my last day of work for this week, and I don’t think I could have handled more. Tomorrow, I head to Charlotte for #HeroesCon. Maybe I’ll have some cool pics to share over the weekend.

I would love to be at #Balticon right now. Sadly, once the kid got into middle and high school going on that trip for Memorial day weekend got pretty difficult. It's always a stretch considering that we usually go to #Heroescon which is 2 or 3 weeks later.
Maybe I will get back in a few years after the kid has graduated high school. I've had a fun time every time I've been.

@soapdisch @docpop When V3 is ready, assuming it is before June 10th or so, I'll print some out and take them to #Heroescon in Charlotte to leave on swag tables.

@ScottEdelman I straight up forgot that Don worked on those Wasteland comics. For a long time I knew Del Close only as the writer of this comic. He goes to #Heroescon pretty consistently so I should bring some of those this year.
I had an absolute brain fart one year and brought Normalman #1. Wrong superhero parody!

Today is the day when #Heroescon 2026 passes go on sale. If you plan on attending all three days and $75 is not a debilitating sum for you, then the VIP passes are totally worth it. You get a shirt, some tchoctchkes, prints and such but the real benefit is getting on the show floor an hour earlier than the non-VIP passholders each day. It's a great time for seeing people who will have long lines later!

The frustrating bit about this is that I decided to get my act together and book early since hotel reservations are the easiest and cheapest bit of travel to cancel. There is no downside to booking on the possibility and cancelling on the reality.
I wanted to book right after #heroescon ended this year, but the rooms weren't even bookable until September and then the price was weird for two months. That will teach me to be organized and proactive.

For months the Hampton Inn on MLK in Charlotte was oddly high priced for a stay during #heroescon. It wasn't Thursday through Saturday that were the problem. If you stayed Sunday, which I prefer to do, a one king room was normal but a two queen room was $968 for that one night, more than the whole rest of the stay. Clearly not righteous but it was the listed price.
Checked today, price was a more normal $135 so I booked it. For once I won't be scrambling in May to book the room!
