FANTASTIC CON!



Hey Gerry! Thanks for inviting us to join the KOMIKERO booth at The 2nd Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention. It was fun! Fun! Fun! Sweaty and hot, but fun. :)

It was also great to finally meet the Komikeros!

Happy-perky-hyper-Ryan was the first to greet me, say hello, and try to sell me their comic books. He also took all my coins and spare change... hehehe...

Finally got to meet Jonas Diego after all those years of snail mail and email.
Hey Jonas! Yup, we must work on something soon!

Geoffrey was there to give away preview copies of his comic book debut SERVANT.

Hello na rin kay Jac, Johnny, Jerald, and Mylene, their newbie Komikero. :)

And finally got to EB with Tobie! (Sorry... still can't find the script!)

Ryan Orosco passed-by and gave Gerry a CULTURE CRASH calendar. heheheh

Philip Tan came by stayed for awhile and was able to do a sketch or two.

On the Alamat side of the booth, it was just me and Carl and his sold-out ZSAZSA ZATURNNAH. On the last day of the con, I left Carl for awhile and when I came back an hour later, he was the only left in the booth. The Komikeros had gone home and all his copies of ZSAZSA were sold out. So he was hanging out in booth for over an hour with nothing but copies of B72, which he was able to sell to the curious few. THANKS CARL! YOU'RE A PAL! :)

During Day One of the Con, Dave, Mark, and Bow helped man the booth. (Which makes me wonder, since Karen also joined us, does that mean she "womaned the booth"?) It was great to hang out with all of them and just talk about comic books and movies. Later than evening, Camille joined me, Dave and Carl and we talked more comic books and some new projects. So, maybe we'll have new books to show in the next convention.

More pics of the SCI-FI CON at my phlog.



Chekov: Course heading, Captain?

Captain Kirk: Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.

Will you Play it Safe in 2025?

One of my favorite songs which I learned about early this year. Our boss at the agency played this at one of our town hall meetings. It's reminder to all creators that we will always be told to "stick to safe ideas" (which is fine, if you just want to get the work done and go home) but there will always be this other voice at the back of your head that will ask, "Maybe there's another way to do this? Maybe there's a better way to tell this story? Maybe you can tell if from a different point of view and make this old story feel like new? Maybe you can spend a few more minutes working on it? How about it? Let's give it a try? Another hour trying to re-write? Let's give it a go!" What I love about this song is how the lyrics take on the conservative point-of-view and how the visuals show us the exact opposite. One of my favorite bits of this song is this part, where the lyrics starts to give you a "list of commands", like it's a list o...

the sons and daughters of Kanlaon

Last Friday, we attended the 40th Anniversary of KBS, the Kanlaon Broadcasting System, where my mom and dad once worked. I was still a baby when my dad worked there. I barely remember the people there. One of the first people to greet me was Lando, my dad's old driver. Him, I remember. As the story goes, when I was a baby, I could not pronounce his name and just started calling him "Agoong". Hence, he got that nickname and that's what everyone called him. I remember how we used to play chess while waiting for dad to finish work and how I always forced him to make me win. (Makes me wish I forced him to teach me how to play chess better and learn how to not win things so easily.) As expected, as my mom re-introduced me to her old office mates, they all looked surprised and delighted to see me. They would then immediately extend their hand, palm down, and show me how small I was when I first met them. Some would pretend to carry me and tell them they were the ones who ca...
Couple of weeks ago, Ms. Diyco featured another campaign made by the creatives here at Harrison Communications. Here's her review about the Neozep "Neozerye" TV campaign: Romancing the mighty colds cure ADS AND ENDS, Nanette A Franco-Diyco BUSINESS WORLD Vol. XX, No. 139, Friday-Saturday, February 9-10, 2007 http://www.bworldonline.com/Weekender020907/main.php?id=marketing_diyco The four television commercials that serialize the life of pretty housemaid Luwalhati, culminating in a storybook wedding to her once-upon-a-time señorito from the imposing mansion belong to an ad campaign awards class all its own. There have been other spoofs of soap operas selling other brand categories in the past. But for several reasons put together, the Neozep series of commercials that began with honest-to-goodness ad teasers that looked and sounded like teasers for true-blue soap operas proved ultra entertaining and more importantly, "reinforced Neozep’s leadership and further s...
