LCTC Shakedown

Hey there Poppers!!  Guess what.  We are just under a week away from one of the coolest conventions EVER, right here in our backyard!  That's right, next weekend Lexington Comic and Toy convention will be under way.  Are you excited?  WE'RE EXCITED!  I am here, pumped up and ready to go, to give all of you lovely people a layout of what to expect from us, Beaucoup Pop, the official podcast of said convention.

As you may have heard on our episodes, or seen in random areas throughout the forest of social media, this convention is marking the first ever panel that we are going to be a part of.  The four of of us - Tressa, Kerry, Justin, and Matt - are going to be joined by our fabulous friend Natasha, front runner of Kentucky Geek Girl, for our panel The Culture of Pop.  Natasha will be spearheading the conversation, because she's just so darn good at it (and let's face it, someone has to run this train and keep us focused, because lord knows we can't do that very successfully half the time).  As the title suggests, were going to be doing a run down of things related to pop culture, much like we all focus on in our respective podcasts and websites.  We are also going to talk a lot about the logistics of running these kinds of things.  Have you ever been curious how something like a podcast comes into being?  This is going to be the perfect place to get those questions answered.  This is also the best place to come to hear us reveal the magic behind it all (because shockingly enough, Tressa is not a wizard ninja, she just has the maddest of skillz).  This sweet panel of awesomeness will be taking place this coming Saturday, March 16th.  Join us at 12:00pm in Elkhorn Room B, and bring questions!!  We want to meet all of you and become bestest of friends! :-D

That is not all, however!

Kirby's Commandments!


I have recently been troubled by the goings on of the comic book community. It seems like every day I go to my favorite websites or peruse Twitter and I become inundated with rage filled comments, inflammatory columns on controversial subjects, and generally a feeling of bubbling anger and indignation from the comic book community at large. People seem angry at each other, their books, and creators all at the same time. But why?  

As I drifted off to sleep last night I was musing about these conundrums. When I finally dozed off I was hopeful to forget about the cares of the day. But my dreams were interrupted by large and calamitous thunder. It sounded to me as if the world itself may tear asunder. I stood in an empty field as energetic crackles swarmed the skies and filled my ears with the low hum of the cosmos. Suddenly, the ground swelled before me and erupted in a towering mountain of gleaming and polished stone!  Higher and higher the peak rose until I was fairly sure the top was somewhere off in infinity. What was this? Where was I? It was then that I heard the distinct noise of something flying from the top of this soaring peak. I gazed as off in the distance a silver speck began a rapid descent to my level. It wasn’t long before I realized the speck was in the shape of a surfboard and that a human figure stood on this alien device. Soon the board hovered only a couple of feet away from me and its rider jumped down to meet me. In front of me stood the King himself, Jack Kirby! He was wearing something straight out of his New Gods comic book series, behind one ear was a pencil, and in his mouth was one of signature cigars. I opened my mouth to speak.
 
“Mr. Kirby! I’m a huge…”
“Huge fan, yeah, yeah. I know kid. I didn’t bring you here to stroke my ego,” replied my greatest comic book hero.
“Where exactly is ‘here’ anyway?” I asked, the surreal nature of my circumstance finally striking me.
“This old place? It’s just where Roz and I live. I guess you could call it paradise or heaven. Me, I call it home.”
I rubbed my hand across the jutting stone. Sizzles of energy bounced between my fingertips and the rock like little lightning bolts. 

“But, again, my fancy mountain isn’t the reason I brought you here. I hear you’re having some trouble with comic books. I thought, maybe we could have a little chat. Maybe I can help.”
“Golly Mr. Kirby! You want to help me? I don’t know what to say…”
“Well don’t canonize me a saint yet kid. It’s not just for your benefit. I got a few messages I want you to take back.”
“This isn’t going to turn into some kind of ghost revenge scheme on Stan Lee is it?”
“No, I got a different guy to do that smartass. Listen, you got some paper or something you can write this on?”
“I don’t think so, I’m not sure I’m even corporeal at the moment…”
“Fine, fine. Here”
