Please take a look at the link in the description below and visit my page at 50th Street where you can become a sponsor All right, it is Sunday March 4 2018 it is time for me to do my wrap-up of February. I am at The Washington State Convention Center in Seattle. This is the last day of the Emerald City Comic Con In fact, the commission has just let out and everybody's leaving it. I'm breaking one of the number one rules of video making and I've got the the big sunlit windows behind me But I wanted to show the atrium With the people coming out and all the costumes and everything so so there's that Also, I had intended to shoot this video on Thursday on March 1st when I visited the convention on the opening day of the convention And I just straight up forgot. I Was on the long bus ride Back to where I'm staying in Tacoma When I realized oh, I didn't shoot The video otherwise you would have seen it days ago anyway, here's Some of the video that I shot here for myself This weekend usually I go to these shows and I shoot for 50th Street And I did a little bit of shooting for 50th Street But most of what I shot this time I shot for myself. I I did an interview with Adam Hughes one of my favorite artists who Last time I spoke to him was in the mid 90s. It's been more than 20 years and I chatted with Terry Moore And he and I talked about it and we decided we hadn't seen each other in 16 years. I'm gonna show you The few books that I bought in February. I I've only bought three books The first two I found at a local library for 50 cents a piece Remember you should always look for books for sale at libraries. I bought Congo by Michael Crichton. I read this when I was a child and when it first came out I remember liking it and Jonathan Livingston Seagull I read this when I was in grade school and I have a story to tell about it It's one of the worst books ever written That's how I felt about it in grade school, and I suspect I'll feel the same I've talked about this book before, Star Tunes I've showed this book on my channel before and talked about it. My original copy is in storage in Florida but Philfolio the artist who did this Is was here this weekend and I got him to Autograph this copy that I went and found on eBay and I did a lengthy interview with Phil a Few months ago at Geek girl con and I'm going to edit that and put it on my channel here Not on the 50th Street channel. I decided it belonged here Okay, now as far as books that I read in February. I read Babel 17, which you've heard me talk about a number of times I thought it was a rip-off That's the word that came to mind was rip-off and I my intention was to discuss it in the 32nd half hour with Becky That's that's yet to happen. I don't know when that's going to happen, but we'll see I Also finished Sargasso space by Andre Norton. I will review it I read the Southern Reach trilogy all three of the annihilation books, which I've already posted reviews for So, you know how I feel about those I went ahead this weekend and saw the annihilation movie and I will be recording a very angry Movie review so look for that. I need to move the camera get this guy's behind out of the way, okay Man this place is dried up everybody's gone already I guess I also finished that 2013 Nebula Oars collection that I've been picking away at for the last year. I will be recording a Review of that one. It was excellent. I loved it What I'm reading now, I'm halfway through the Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood and I'm halfway through Ileaf the Unseen by G Willow Wilson and I'm liking them so far. I'm halfway through them. These aren't books that I've just started The reason that I finished so many books in February and the reason why I'm I'm so well into these two other books so far is because the place I've been living in the Tacoma area for the last month or so has no internet None I have to walk half a mile to a Starbucks to get real Wi-Fi and in order to Livestream and do and upload videos. I have to take a bus to a library. So when I'm at the house I Have tons of free time because I'm not on the internet and I've ended up reading and I'm reading a lot of books The first thing I saw when I came in to the convention floor on Thursday was this a Complete blu-ray collection of the original speed racer. This is in English not Japanese. I wish it was in Japanese but This looks like a really well-made collection and it's complete the complete series as far as the status of my YouTube channel my Numbers of minutes watched have gone back down to normal Since before the the big spike I had you look at the the visual here. You can see what I mean I still have all of my new subscribers though. So that's good the big fundraiser I had The last half of February didn't really go anywhere. I had one anonymous donation of four dollars, but then Javier O'East one of my regular viewers donated $20 and after fees, I think I got 18 I want to thank Javier for that if you watch any of my livestream videos where I was drawing the Mystery Science Theatre sketches called the Rift sketch-a-thon Javier was One of the only people who came to those streams. He's been very supportive. Thank you Javier I'm going to have to scale way back on The the amount of material that I'm doing for the channel. I've been doing too much The those new episodes of the truth that I was going to do I think I'll put those on hold indefinitely so What's coming up for the month of March will be Some book reviews and some movie reviews and some things that I have left over That I've planned to do before and that's about it. I appreciate all my viewers all my regulars and My sponsors here are my four regular sponsors here.
