It's good to know that our stories get cut off after a set amount. I'll try to make shorter posts from now on. Here's the rest of my rant: Having a good time with my friends at the Renaissance Faire was a perfect cap to the weekend. And lest you read this and think I hated Austin Comic Con, I want to say that I didn’t. I know, I know. I just spent a thousand words talking about it’s shortcomings. But I really didn’t hate it. I think it’s going through growing pains right now. I see the potential for great things in it, but they have some bugs to work out.

Last weekend was a busy one for me, boys and girls. In fact, the entire month of November has been busy for me, but that’s another story. It all started when my good friend and podcast host Wade gave me his three day pass to Austin Comic Con, since he would have to work over the weekend (everyone shed tears of sadness for Wade). I thought, “Awesome! A free pass to a comic convention! I don’t even have to pay for a hotel room!”

Wade here on my day off giving you some videos that I've been enjoying recently. 

Just today Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino gave us this sweet video for "Bonfire" from his upcoming album Camp:

I had one of those interesting maturity moments this week. I'm sure we've all had them (except Wade, whom I am going to start calling the gay Peter Pan). My work has implimented a 401(k) plan. We had a meeting on Tuesday with the representatives from... whatever company we're going to be using. It was an odd feeling, sitting there, 26, thinking about planning for retirement in some 40+ years. It's taken forever to get to 26, the years seem to crawl by, and I can barely picture myself at 30, much less at 65. Yet all around me lie the tell-tale signs of age.
