Today is my birthday, and like most of my birthdays... umm... it's not that different than a normal day. It's only notable that it's my thirty-fifth birthday, which means I am now, officially, no longer part of the mainstream "eighteen to thirty-four year old" demographic media seems designed for. I am, officially, no longer "young" according to most people.
Well, the massive bald spot growing on the back of my head told me that already, but still.
I honestly haven't had a lot of time to ponder it though, because most of my mental energy has been focused on this thing:
Yes, that's right -- the
Nerd & Tie Expo. We announced it a couple of weeks ago, and we've now launched an
Indiegogo Campaign to raise funds for the event.
We want to run the best convention we can, and even if you're willing to just throw a few bucks our way we'd really appreciate it. In exchange we've got some pretty decent rewards - including basic stuff, like admission to the event to some absolutely bonkers options.
We think it's a good deal.
Honestly, between the blog and the convention, Nerd & Tie dominates a lot of my creative energy. It's been really obvious in how this blog has slowed down as I'm writing multiple news stories a day over at the other site. This blog isn't going away any time soon, but it's not likely to have more than the occasional posts now...
...but you've probably noticed that already.
Ah well, such is life. At least I'm having fun.
