Two weeks from today, many of us will be descending on San Francisco for the annual WonderCon. I've been to most of these and always had a good time. No reason to expect this year will be any different. If you're within range, come and enjoy a huge hall full of interesting people to meet and fun things to purchase. There's even some exciting programming (here's the whole schedule) and I'll be hosting a number of panels (here's my schedule).
WonderCon is the perfect event for those who think the Comic-Con International in San Diego is too huge to handle. It's run by the same folks and they're really, really good at running conventions. (I've been to enough of them to know this.) It's large enough that there's never a moment you could be bored but not so large that you have to reset the time zone on your iPhone as you cross the dealer's room. Take a look at the schedule and the guest list and consider going.
For those who'll be in S.F. that weekend, two plugs: Frank Ferrante — oft-mentioned on this blog for his incredible simulation of Julius "Groucho" Marx — will be performing two shows in that town on Saturday, February 28 at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco. Some tix may still be available but won't be for long. Go here to see if you can get in.
And on Monday, March 2, I'll be teaching a class in Animation Voice Acting at the Voice One workshop over on Third Street. I did this last year and they asked me back…so I guess someone got something out of it. If you're interested in how to work towards a career in that field, I'll be glad to tell you what I can.
I think that's everything for now. Here's one of those snazzy banners I make up if you want to click and see what I'm doing at WonderCon…
