WWLA | The Loudest Monkey: A Wizard Universe Blog

Phew…it’s finally over!

March 18, 2008 on 11:40 pm | In WWLA

Well, Wizard World LA has come and gone, and boy was it a lot of work! But as I’ve seen in my blog stats, you folks were all checking it out and proving that my hard work was all worth it! Thanks!

After a Red Eye flight back from LA on Sunday night that got me home at 9 a.m. on Monday morning, followed by a day of sleeping and then a Tuesday of responding to a ton of email that got pushed onto the back burner over the hectic Con-heavy weekend, I’m still recovering from the madness. I’ll be back with some more on WWLA and some pretty funny stuff of a blog-worthy nature that recently cropped up soon, but for now, it’s all sleep, work and the recently acquired third season of Battlestar!

Make sure to keep checking Wizard Universe for tons more news and features from LA, including a full transcript of Jeph Loeb and Joe Mad’s Ultimates 3 commentary among other rad content!
