As the world begins to open back up and in person events pick up, Albuquerque Comic-Con was held this weekend.
Normally a January show, it was held at the ABQ Convention Center. This was our first year attending, and when comparing it to a WonderCon or Star Wars Celebration, the only difference beyond location is scale. You’ve got your vendor booths, the celebrity signing area, comic vendors, cosplayers, and lines to get in, park and whathaveyou. It doesn’t matter where people are, as long as they have a love for Genre content, regional Comic Conventions bring people together.
Walking into the Albuquerque Convention Center’s main hall, Twin Suns Comics have the catbird seat. Comics, the first thing you see walking in. With one of the best selections of classic books at this year’s Con, Twin Suns had a great booth stacked high with Thanos and Captain America Standees on top of merchandise display, that could be seen from almost any point in the hall. Exploring the Con floor has become like visiting your local Etsy artisans, with groups like Krazy Krafters Abq, The Geeky Octopus, Ghost In The Machine Tech Repair, as well as artists for hire, like Jonathan Hallett from StitchToons, Hailey Patrick’s Digillama Art, KayyArkham a tattoo and logo designer, to Valerie DeCoy’s JellyCows Illustrations, whose booth was a personal favorite for Booth Design, her first year doing a table at a Convention, Valerie told me she had burnt out working retail and her art brought her joy and this was her first time renting a table for a Con and had spent the past week fine-tuning her booth, which she transformed into a wonderful little stall with some potted plants to give ambiance, and brings the artwork up close for attendees to see clearly presented, rather than strewn across the black tablecloth. The fairy lights in the garland around the top of her booth really worked for me, she was also in costume as Bulma from Dragon Ball, the stall design also shielded Valerie’s young baby from the Darth Vaders roaming the aisles.
One of the other vendors I wanted to spotlight was Comic Afterlife (IG @Comic.Afterlife) he creates decoupage 8.5×11 splash pages out of, older / less valued books. I had walked by not realizing what great work was actually done, thinking it was just someone selling returned comics. When books don’t sell, rather than returning the whole book stores will just return the cover and toss the book itself, but Comic Afterlife specializes in the kind of poses and dialog from your favorite characters, and he checks before cutting, that none of the books he sacrifices for his art are rare or ultra-valuable. Kind of ‘Best Of’ works, done with scissors and glue, just waiting to be framed.
With media guests, the likes of Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Michael Biehn, Jason O’Mara, & Kane Hodder next to Dot Marie Jones from Glee and Ming Chen from Comic Book Men, as well as the star of Disney’s Descendents, the Twilight Saga, and Warpath from X-Men Days of Future Past, BooBoo Stewart had fans lined up for meet and greets, autographs and photo opportunities. The Breaking Bad RV Tour was there with their Crystal Ship, next to a US Army Helicopter training simulator, Xfinity also had a booth for attendees to take a photo with several Mortal Kombat cosplayers, as well as a lovingly recreated A-Team Van, and Herbie the Lovebug.
Albuquerque Comic Con had a tent set up for Warrior Robotics, as the Convention is a supporter of the Socorro Consolidated School’s team in the FIRST Tech Challenge, where 7-12 grade students work on teams for creating mechanical solutions for a given task, a Science and Engineering focused after school league. For reference see the George Lopez movie “Spare Parts.”
While this marks 2 years without the juggernaut of San Diego Comic-Con, check out your regional Cons, they’re much more manageable.
Albuquerque Comic Con was limited to 7,500 attendees over this three-day run, and you could see every booth twice walking the floor for an hour, it’s nice to see people passionate about their crafts and costumes. The Cosplayers and other fans are reason enough to return for multiple days. Whether it’s The 501st / Mandolorian Mercs / Rebel Legion costume club showing off their movie-accurate Stromtrooper fare, wanting to haggle on a sword, or commission an anime-styled portrait of your pet, the people are the reason to return to the con for another day.

" Holi (Hindi: होली) is a religious spring festival celebrated by Hindus.
In Vaishnavism, Hiranyakashipu is the great king of demons, and he had been granted a boon by Brahma, which made it almost impossible for him to be killed. The boon was due to his long penance, after which he had demanded that he not be killed "during day or night; inside the home or outside, not on earth or in the sky; neither by a man nor an animal; neither by astra nor by shastra". Consequently, he grew arrogant and attacked the Heavens and the Earth. He demanded that people stop worshipping Gods and start praising respectfully to him.
According to this belief, Hiranyakashipu's own son, Prahlada, was a devotee of Lord Vishnu. In spite of several threats from Hiranyakashipu, Prahlada continued offering prayers to Lord Vishnu. He was poisoned by Hiranyakashipu, but the poison turned to nectar in his mouth. He was ordered to be trampled by elephants yet remained unharmed. He was put in a room with hungry, poisonous snakes and survived. All of Hiranyakashipu's attempts to kill his son failed. Finally, he ordered young Prahlada to sit on a pyre in the lap of Holika, Hiranyakashipu's demoness sister, who also could not die because she had a boon preventing her from being burned by fire. Prahlada readily accepted his father's orders, and prayed to Lord Vishnu to keep him safe. When the fire started, everyone watched in amazement as Holika burnt to death, while Prahlada survived unharmed. The salvation of Prahlada and burning of Holika is celebrated as Holi.
In Mathura, where Lord Krishna grew up, the festival is celebrated for 16 days (until Rangpanchmi) in commemoration of the divine love of Radha for Krishna. The festivities officially usher in spring, the celebrated season of love.
There is alternative story detailing the origin of Holi. This story is about Kamadeva, a God of love. Kama's body was destroyed when he shot his weapon at Shiva in order to disrupt his meditation and help Parvati to marry Shiva. Shiva then opened his third eye, the gaze of which was so powerful that Kama's body was reduced to ashes. For the sake of Kama's wife Rati (passion), Shiva restored him, but only as a mental image, representing the true emotional and spiritual state of love rather than physical lust. The Holi bonfire is believed to be celebrated in commemoration of this event." - Wikipedia
There's a movement in Germany right now where many cities have discovered the joys of this festival of colors even if the religious background is widely unknown to the revellers.
Luckily, my city was one where this event took place and i had to go.
I decided to sacrifice my 5D and my EF 50 18 II. I was 99% sure the camera wouldnt make it out alive with the color dust and (usually) water colors. To my surprise, there were no water colors and thanks to this, my camera still works!

YRP Detective Constable Plunkett and his son’s grave always brings a tear to my eyes despite the fact that I never met him. YRP Chris Barratt, is currently the National Canadian President of the International Police Association (IPA) knew him and had high regard for him. We honour the man, his family, and his service.
The two replacement flags with extended poles were erected to represent the respects being paid to Rob and his family by members of the International Police Association Region 2 Toronto Ontario Canada’s. IPA R2. Flags should never be dragged on the ground as that would disrespect the flag.
I also added a poppy as there had been a poppy present during many of our previous visits.

Torstar: A routine police surveillance operation on the trail of thieves stealing cars and airbags ended in tragedy yesterday when a veteran York Regional Police officer was dragged to his death while trying to arrest a suspect on a quiet residential street in Markham.
York Regional Police Chief Armand La Barge called Const. Rob Plunkett, 43, a "true hero" and said his death marks a dark day for the small GTA force that last lost an officer in the line of duty in 1984.
One man has been charged with manslaughter, the other with theft-related offences.
Both accused were on bail for other charges.

CSIS knew of navy spy Jeffrey Delisle's dealings with Russia.
The drama unfolded just before dawn yesterday after investigators had followed a white Honda Civic, registered to a home in Ajax, and a gold Honda, which was stolen but not yet reported as such, from an address in Toronto to Ascot Cres., a winding, tree-lined street not far from Steeles Ave. and Kennedy Rd.
There has been a rash of airbag thefts across York Region, particularly in Markham.
Since January, there have been 43 incidents of airbag thefts and investigators had zeroed in on a couple of suspects.
The undercover officers watched the two cars pull over to the side of Ascot Cres., just around a bend, and saw the driver of the gold Honda attempt to remove an airbag. It was just after 5 a.m. when Plunkett approached the open driver's side, said La Barge.
"As Const. Plunkett attempted to arrest the suspect, the suspect put the vehicle into reverse, and accelerated over a curb, across a lawn and over several shrubs," he said.
Plunkett was then pinned by the open door as it struck a tree on the front lawn of 65 Ascot Cres. As the suspect tried to drive away, the officer was dragged onto a nearby lawn and thrown from the car.
The suspect continued to reverse across the lawn, "at which time assisting officers rammed the vehicle to stop its progress," said La Barge. The suspect fled the car but was quickly arrested.
The second suspect was also arrested trying to flee.
Police said they didn't know why the suspects chose Ascot, except at that time of day it is still dark and there are no surveillance cameras in the immediate area.
Kuo Wan Liu was awake inside his Ascot Cres. home. "There was a big bang noise once, and then a second one," Liu said. "It was not normal. Ascot Crescent is very quiet."
Soon after, a group of people outside were yelling, "`Bleeding! Bleeding! Bleeding!' Very loud," he said.
It's unclear how many officers were at the scene when Plunkett moved in. La Barge said other officers were in the area and responding when Plunkett moved in to make the arrest.
The 22-year veteran had identified himself as a police officer, but detectives will look at what he was wearing and what identification he had, said homicide Det. Kevin Torrie.
Plunkett, married and the father of a daughter, 18, and sons 16 and 14, was rushed to Scarborough Grace Hospital, where he died.
Nadeem Jiwah, 19, has been charged with manslaughter. He was on a recognizance order to live at Hawkeshead Cres.
Baseer Yousafzai, 23, is facing various charges of theft and mischief. He is a landed immigrant from Afghanistan. They're scheduled to make a court appearance in Newmarket today.
A charge of first-degree murder requires evidence of planning and specific intent, second-degree murder covers a "spur of the moment" decision to kill with no planning, and a manslaughter charge can be laid when someone commits an unlawful act that results in someone's death, criminal lawyer Andrew McKay explained.

TORONTO -- At last, the family of York Regional Police Det. Const. Rob Plunkett can begin to heal.
Nadeem Jiwa, the airbag thief convicted of manslaughter in Plunkett's death, has lost an appeal of his sentence and must do the dozen years behind bars he was given in 2011. No more excuses, no more stalling, no more whining. He must do his time.
For Amanda Plunkett, the good news came a day after a grim anniversary - Aug. 7 marked five years since her vibrant father was senselessly killed in the line of duty. From that day of horror, there have been so many difficult stages for the family to endure - Jiwa's preliminary hearing, the trial, a shocking verdict that came back not as murder but manslaughter, and then news that still not satisfied, he was appealing his sentence.
But now, finally, an end.
"It's been hanging over our heads," explained Plunkett's 22-year-old daughter, who is working this summer as an assistant youth probation officer. "We've been waiting for this decision and we can all rest easy now. We're relieved that this last little thing is over now. It's that last bit. There's nothing more he can do."
In a judgment released Wednesday, the Ontario Court of Appeal found Justice Michelle Fuerst's sentence was on the "very high end" for a youthful, first-time offender, but contrary to what his lawyers had argued, it was not demonstrably unfit.
"Police officers carry out an essential and responsible role in society," wrote Justice Eileen Gillese on behalf of a three-judge panel, quoting an earlier decision. "When a police officer is killed in the execution of duty, the community is understandably outraged. In imposing sentence, it is appropriate to reflect society's revulsion for this aspect of the offence."
In the early morning hours of that August day in 2007, 19-year-old Jiwa was on bail facing airbag theft charges and was out well past the 1 a.m. curfew when he was supposed to be tucked in at his mother's home. Instead, he was out with a friend in a Markham, Ont., neighbourhood, stealing a car and valuable airbags. Plunkett , 43, was part of an undercover surveillance unit watching Jiwa and his partner when they were given the order just before 5 a.m. to move in and make the arrests.
With the cops screaming, "Police, police," his partner in crime quickly surrendered, Not Jiwa. He jumped into his stolen gold Honda and threw it into reverse, crushing Plunkett against a tree. And even as the father of three lay collapsed on the ground, the thief kept on reversing. When his car was finally rammed to a stop, Jiwa tried to take off on foot.
He later insisted at his trial that hitting Plunkett had been an accident and he didn't know he was a police officer trying to arrest him.
Charged with first-degree murder, Jiwa was convicted by a jury of the lesser offence of manslaughter in 2011 and sentenced to 12 years in prison and a 10-year driving ban when he's released. In May, Jiwa's lawyers went to the appeal court to argue the sentence was too harsh for a first-offender with genuine remorse.
The learned judges disagreed.
"This was a very serious crime," wrote Justice Sarah Pepall. "Detective Plunkett was killed in the line of duty. His family and colleagues have been devastated by his death. I recognize that Mr. Jiwa was only 19 years of age at the time of the offence, had no previous record, showed some remorse and the killing was involuntary. Nonetheless, the offence was committed while he was on bail for pending air bag theft charges; he was driving a stolen vehicle having spent several hours stealing air bags; and he was in violation of his curfew."
The top court's decision was applauded by John Miskiw, Plunkett's friend and head of the York police association. "Sonja Plunkett and her children deserve some closure to the court process."
But, of course, 12 years doesn't mean 12 years at all and the family will soon have the parole system to confront: Given two-for-one credit for the almost four years he spent in custody, Jiwa has only three years left on his sentence. < As of Sept 2012.

"He's a quiet person, whether it's practice or the game,'' coach Gary Kubiak said. "He's just a worker. He's kind of like E.F. Hutton: When he speaks, everybody listens."
Johnson quietly has become one of the top receivers in the NFL in his six seasons with the Texans. Johnson has caught passes in 48 consecutive games and he's caught at least one pass in 82 of 83 career games. Johnson surpassed the 100-catch mark for the second time in his career.
Kubiak is always trying to find ways to tap into Johnson's talent.
"I carry a little sheet with me in the back of my pocket, I've done it for years,'' Kubiak said. "How do you get 'X' the ball, how to get 'Z' the ball, how to get 'Y' the ball. Believe me, his list is long."
Kubiak might appreciate Johnson's unselfishness more than his talent.
"The reason he is so special is because I can move him all over the place and it doesn't bother him," Kubiak said. "There are some players that you ask them to play too many spots and they get bogged down. He says, 'Where do you want me to go? I'll play inside, outside. I'll do whatever you want me to do.'"
As the seconds ticked down in the game and it was obvious the Texans had pulled off the upset, Johnson was among the most excited players on the field, jumping up and down and hugging teammates. Quarterback Matt Schaub, in his second season with the Texans, understands Johnson's elation.
"I can understand all the tough years he's been here and he can sense that times are changing and headed in the right direction with him and Chester Pitts and Petey (Faggins) and Kris Brown," Schaub said. "You can sense the excitement."
Johnson was the Texans' first-round pick in 2003. Pitts, Faggins and Brown are original Texans.
Schaub and Johnson have become a lethal pass-catch combination.
"He has that big-play ability, a way to spark us and to get a big catch," Schaub said. "He did that numerous times for us today. He just brings a lot of excitement and energy to our team when he goes up like he did on the go route and catches the ball over 31's (Cortland Finnigan) head.
"He doesn't talk much, but when he does, it's always something important and we always listen. It doesn't happen very often. We're all thankful for the guys on this team. That's the kind of bond that we have."
The season has been big for character building. The Texans lost their first four games after entering the season with hopes of making the playoffs.
"There's been a lot of frustration at the beginning of the season," Johnson said. "I've talked about it. I put that all behind me. I said to myself before that Colts game I'm going out to do whatever I have to do to help this team win.
"It's been a long road. I didn't think it would take this long when I first got here. We've grown and learned a lot about ourselves and now we're starting to see that we're starting to find our niche."
Andre Johnson was amazing enough on the field Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. He did something even more astounding in the postgame locker room: He spoke.
Johnson, the quiet leader of the team, caught 11 passes for a club-record 207 yards, scored one touchdown and was the driving force in the Texans' 13-12 victory that snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Titans.
Then, he reminded his teammates how far they'd come this season to win four games in a row for the first time in franchise history, and just how thankful they are to have each other and how far they've come together.
"The week after Thanksgiving everyone was talking about what they were thankful for in the chapel service," Johnson said. "It was shocking to me because other than the guys' kids or family, the first thing that came out of their mouths was this team."
That's what Johnson wanted to remind his teammates Sunday.
"I was just telling everybody about that, even the ones who weren't there (at the chapel service), I was letting them know that the guys here are thankful for their teammates," Johnson said. "I think it's been shown over the past month that guys are giving it up for the team. It's not about one guy. It's about everybody. We've been able to go out and get the job done."
The Texans' closeness proved a winning formula again on Sunday. After a frustrating loss to Indianapolis that could have pulled the team apart, the Texans beat Cleveland on the road, Jacksonville on Monday Night Football, the Packers in frigid Lambeau Field and now they've whipped the team with the best record in the NFL.
And no one gets more credit for the Texans' surge than Johnson.

Le nouveau dessin animé que j'ai commencé à voir la semaine dernière s'appelle Mai-Hime. Il s'est terminé il y a peu au Japon. Et pour l'instant, aprés avoir juste vu l'épisode 8 (on en est au début), j'ai mal au ventre et presque envie de pleurer. Suis je une petite "femelette" qui pleure facilement en regardant "les oiseaux se cachent pour mourrir" ? Bien sur que non. Mais un bel épisode de dessin animé accompagné d'une musique envoutante et enchanteuse suffit à faire exploser la pierre qui entoure mon coeur...
Revenons à Mai-Hime. Au premier abord, nous sommes dans du "fan-service" à fond. Un lycée. Des filles dont certaines sont plutot mignones... L'épisode 3 parle d'un "voleur de lingerie féminine" (!!!)... Dans ce même épisode, on apprend que la petite Mikoto, 11 ans, qui ne fait qu'un bonnet A (ce n'est pas énorme) ne porte rien, puisqu'elle ne sait même pas ce qu'est un "soutien-gorge". Dans l'épisode 7, cette même Mikoto, qui fait un peu n'importe quoi (elle est trés jeune et naive) sert d'appat (malgré elle) de jeune garçon un peu plus agé en manque de sensation forte avec des collégienne. Et l'épisode 8 nous montrerait presque un inceste entre Mai (17 ans) et son petit frere (12 ans), dont certaines autres lycéennes imaginent des aventures "yaoi" entre ce petit frere et un autre jeune garçon collégien trés populaire chez les lycéennes (qui en fait n'est pas un garçon mais cache sa poitrine qu'elle voit grossir avec grande tristesse). Le tout dans une ambiance de lycée collège bien champètre.
Du fan service à 100 à l'heure me diraient vous. Oui, il y a un peu de ça... Et bon. Pourquoi pas finalement... C'est léger, ça fleure bon l'été, et au premier abord on dit qu'on va finalement bien rigoler. Et on rigole bien...
Pourtant, il y a dans cet animé un premier atout de choix, qui a fait que j'ai eu envie de regarder Mai-Hime. Cet atout se nomme Yuki Kajiura. Et c'est, de loin, ma compositrice musicale préférée. Avant, je ne jurais que par Yokohama (SaintSeiya) ou Yokko Kanno (Cowboy beebop, Escaflowne), depuis Yuki Kajiura est arrivée. Et elle a réussi a me faire tirer des larmes en regardant un animé... Yokohama aussi (le combat final Camus-Hyoga, ou la mort de Siegfried...), mais Kajiura, c'est... C'est la magie par de la simple musique.
Noir, c'est elle. Hack Sign, c'est elle. Madlax, Gunslinger Girls, elle y a trempé dedans. Et c'est de la magie ses musiques. Déjà, le générique de Mai-Hime arrivait à me tirer des larmes. C'est idiot, mais c'est comme ça... et puis pendant l'épisode, les choeurs s'affoleent en même temps que mon coeur s'emballent. Et c'est merveilleux.
Et puis l'histoire devient plus sombre. Cet "école", une sorte d'ECAM en mieux, recelle apparement en elle une drole d'histoire. Les "HIME" sont en fait des sortes de mutantes, possédant le pouvoir de matérialiser leurs "auras" (j'aurais dis "cosmos" moi, tiens...). Pourquoi faire ? Au début, pour combattre des monstres appelés "Oufan" (ca fait trés provencal comme terme). Mais là, à l'épisode 8, j'ai l'impression que les choses sont plus complexes que ça. Que des gentils ne sont peut être pas en fait si gentil... Qu'il y a du complot bien ficelé là dessous. Et moi, j'aime bien...
Bref, j'ai l'impression qu'en cette époque estivale, cet animé est suffisament frais pour me donner le moral. Pourtant, en cette même époque où mon coeur est un petit peu gros (si, il est gros...), j'ai l'impression... j'ai l'impression que c'est le bon animé.
Enfin, Mai-Hime est un petit bijou sympathique. Sans prétention apparente, mais avec une réelle richesse. Yuki Kajiura possède apparement le pouvoir de donner valoriser considérablement un patrimoine.
Un bon animé. Je suis bon public, mais là, j'aime beaucoup. A voir donc... ;-)

HOWL! FESTIVAL AND THE JACKIE FACTORY PRESENTED
LOW LIFE 3: VIPER MAD
SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2009
5-7 PM, FREE ADMISSION
TOMPKINS SQUARE PARK, NYC
REEFER MADNESS IN THE PARK!
On September 6, JACKIE FACTORY producers CHI CHI VALENTI and JOHNNY DYNELL presented their third annual LOW LIFE to crown the 2009 HOWL! FESTIVAL. LOW LIFE is a "Howlucination" created by the JACKIE FACTORY as an evening climax for HOWL! - a two hour theatrical showcasing the East Village - and especially, The Bowery, in a lavishly costumed production starring dozens of downtown's finest.
This year's edition - LOW LIFE 3: VIPER MAD - was inspired by the early 20th century "viper" culture shared by downtown (and Harlem) jazzmen and hipsters, the opium dens of nearby Chinatown and other Olde New York drug cultures. The show featured two MCs - PAUL ALEXANDER (of "The Ones" and JACKIE 60) with EMPRESS CHI CHI VALENTI, the show's co-producer. The splendid cast included burlesque Goddess DIRTY MARTINI, choreographer JULIE ATLAS MUZ and the PIXIE HARLOTS in "REEFER MADNESS", New Bowery crooner ADAM DUGAS, butoh ensemble VANGELINE THEATER (who reprised their "Butoh Brothel" for this special edition), period visionaries JONNY PORKPIE and NASTY CANASTA with PINCHBOTTOM BURLESQUE, international Dragstar SHERRY VINE of East Village based THEATRE COUTURE, THE NEW YORK SCHOOL OF BURLESQUE choreographed by founder JO BOOBS WELDON, nightclub eminence HATTIE HATHAWAY, sensationalist AMBER RAY, trans songstress ERICKATOURE AVIANCE, reefer striptease by MISS MELODY SWEETS, vocal stylings of MR. PATTY BRUCE, and Viper Vamps DARLINDA JUST DARLINDA, LEGS MALONE and HEATHER LITTEER aka JESSICA RABBIT DOMINATION.
The LOW LIFE events were inspired by the seminal LUC SANTE book "LOW LIFE: The Lures and Snares of Old New York." The annual LOW LIFE extravaganzas at HOWL! continue a body of work born at JACKIE 60 over a decade ago, with past editions in London, Minneapolis and of course, the 2007 and 2008 HOWL! Festivals. For the show's producers, East Village residents for over two decades, this annual show is a Valentine to the neighborhood's past, present and future stars.

"Sillä onko toista suurta kansaa, jonka jumalat ovat sitä niin lähellä, kuin Herra, meidän Jumalamme, on lähellä meitä, niin usein kuin me häntä rukoilemme?"
"Ty vilket annat stort folk finnes, vars gudar äro det så nära som HERREN, vår Gud, är oss, så ofta vi åkalla honom?"
"For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him?"

As soon as I enter the "Spirit House" exhibit at Cantors Art Center, I spotted this reddish pink human sculpture that looked like made out of clay or some plaster material. I was trying to figure out who he was and I couldn't. So I just call him "Neo" like the savior of humanity from the movie, "The Matrix".
