With every cycle comes a new feeling of excitement. Curiosity, hope, and even a slight feeling of dread begins to set in, as the news rolls in. New shows, casting reveals, and convention reports become a large part of my day-to-day life, and the days toward my own chance to enter the madness begin to tick down.
The convention becomes a working weekend – a period where I am constantly hunched over a notebook, snapping photos, or taking video that will be used in convention reports and articles. Still, for the interesting people I have the opportunity to meet, and the unforgettable experiences to be experienced, I’d gladly put in a 50-hour, four-day weekend.
This year is shaping up to be an interesting year already, with troubling revelations from Borders, and a troubled, though recovering economy. How this will affect announcements at the major events has yet to be seen, but I have no doubt that it will lead to an interesting series of events, at the very least.
