Can*Con A Convention Diary

Actually, I found myself reluctant to watch this. I don’t think the camera likes me – my face is stiff and damaged, worn down and lumpy. I’m inexpressive, my upper lip barely moves. My conversation, my monologue is peppered with pauses and drags, hums and haws. I had to force myself to watch the video.

But… but I actually sounded okay. As I was sitting there, talking to the camera, I think there was something raw and honest and thoughtful to my monologue. Not arrogant. Just… me. Bemused, a little insecure and uncertain, tentative, but honest. It felt like there was something real here.

I liked the segments where I interviewed people, particularly Rachel A. Rosen who was so passionate and colourful, and Holly Tannis so committed to their art.

I wouldn’t have recorded this at all, without Dean pushing me. And it wouldn’t exist without Dean editing it all together.

So thanks, man.
