MATTHEW S. ROTUNDO'S PIXELTOWN

Archive for July, 2009

It is with profound sadness and wonder that I note how quickly intelligent adults–people I admire both personally and professionally–have degenerated into gibbering morons capable of little more than infantile invective.

Wake me when this nightmare ends.

OSFest was simultaneously fun and exhausting.  Long days + late nights + early morning commitments = one very tired Matt.  I’m walking around today like a zombie on Sudafed.

Even so, it was great to see old friends, meet new ones, and immerse myself in all the geeky goodness that science fiction conventions entail.

Con report–complete with zombies!–behind the cut.

This coming weekend is the Omaha Science Fiction and Fantasy Festival–OSFest, for short. Guests include Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta.  Oh, and I’ll be there, too.
