I’m just going to cut to the chase because I’ve been sitting in front of my computer since early this morning editing the crap out of all my glorious WonderCon footage and I’m cranky and tired and frankly a little scared that I might have overdosed on Diet Coke. Is that a thing?
Cutting to the chase now! I, Kiala Kazebee, will be blogging for the Mercury from the far, far foggy reaches of San Francisco. I miss Portland desperately, you see, and I want to feel closer to you all. I want to touch all of you Portlanders with my words and my hands. Or something.
So, that will be happening and I’m sure you’re all just as excited as I am.
MOVING ON.
I attended WonderCon this weekend! WonderCon is San Francisco’s version Of San Diego’s ComicCon and for those of you who still don’t know what I’m talking about then let me congratulate you on being popular and athletic in high school.
WonderCon is a comic book/sci fi/video game/nerdastravaganza and it is effing fun as shit. I had an excellent time pretending to be more important than I am and forcing the likes of G4’s Blair Butler (so nice!) and Top Cow’s Filip Sablik (publishers of Wanted among other things) to talk to me on camera.
I’m still in the editing process in regards to all the interviews and they should be up tomorrow, but in the meantime I’ve created a little music-y video that, I hope, captures the wonders of WonderCon.
Enjoy.

Why is your placeholder image in the video from ComicCon?
why arent you dressed up as the silk spectre?
They’re sister conventions, Graham. The purple swirly things are the WonderCon logo.
Kiala, whatever… It’s California. More like they’re “Partner” convenctions, amirite?
Two questions, Kiala:
1. Nice cat
2. When can I come down and get drunk with you in San Fransisco and search for the perfect bay area burrito while talking about cats and drinking?
3. Who the hell made you queen of Blogtown?
@Graham – right.
@PAC – Thank you, whenever you like! and I’m not sure but I get to wear a crown and I’m not giving that up for anyone.
Patrick, I made her Queen of Blogtown.
And I did it here: http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/Blogto…
Prove me wrong. I double-dog-dare you.
@kiala – still waiting for an answer on the silk spectre question
@PAC – #2 = El Metate
How the fuck did Kiala get her posting privileges before I did???
@miguelaron
I couldn’t find any thigh high latex boots with a flat heel. I ahd a lot of walking to do, you see.
Oh, she seems to have had them for a while. nvm. Kiala, why didn’t you just make your own oscar post?
@kiala – they have mens sizes in the castro im sure
@blogtown gods – please delete or ban not a cat/cat for life
miguelaron- seriously, what have i done aside from that infamous caturday? why should i be banned? i really don’t get it.
Okay can I just say that San Diego kicks San Francisco’s ASS.
SAN DIEGO IN THE HOUSE!
And there are no good bay area burritos in that whole fucking town. Not a single good burrito and the first person to challenge me on that gets to eat those shit rice bomb San Francisco burritos for ten whole years after growing up 20 miles from the Mexican border.
(Sorry, I just…I…I…hate San Francisco. I SAID IT. And I doubly hate it since it stole you away from me.)
Excellent reporting, Kiala.
Kiala blogging for The Mercury is clearly the best thing that’s ever happened in the history of the Internets.
You know what this means, right Mercury people? All of us who love Kiala at her blog are now going to come here and you’ll be forced to read our dumb comments. Because we are like Kiala’s groupies, only we don’t hang out on her bus and do coke after she posts. Well, maybe just the bus part is inaccurate.
Kiala has groupies around here, too, Chris. You guys are welcome here; anything is better than the influx of sam-gate morons from January.
