WonderCon
2009 took place in the Moscone Center of San Francisco February 27th
to March 1st. As I attempted to make sense out of the number of panels,
the booths at the Dealers Hall, and the costumed attendees roaming the
halls, I came upon the brilliant idea to stop making sense. By simply
covering what events I can cover and not losing sleep over what I missed,
Traveling Valentine ensures a more enjoyable experience.
To
better introduce the concept of "Stop Making Sense," I managed
to secure an interview with the co-founder, editor, and field commander
of Traveling Valentine, Mr. K Valentine himself.
For
those interested in the David Byrne interview that inspired this interview,
check

Friday
Psycho
Killer I
can't seem to face up to the facts. I'm tense and nervous and I
can't relax. It's the first day of the convention and I already
want to kill people.
What
a Day That Was After
the first day of exploration and wandering into panels, the first
night is devoted to rest and socializing.
Saturday

Chock full of exclusive previews and extended trailers for various
films, you may find yourself in another part of the world.
