Another weekend, another convention. This time it was for BotCon 09, the official Transformers convention held in Pasadena, CA. This was my first BotCon experience and I really enjoyed it.

Saturday:
We arrived at the Pasadena Convention Center around 1:30 and grabbed a quick bite at Rubio’s Mexican Grill across the street (the taco burger was great). As we were heading back to the convention, we noticed several Transformer’s standees in the shopping center. We took a picture with the standees and a Hasbro employee gave us a Decepticon promo piece that we can …
So I covered Saturday-Sunday of my New Orleans here. This article will cover the rest of my trip from the Big Easy.
Monday:
After having about 4 hours of sleep, I wake up early to get ready for the Plantation Tour. I asked the front desk which tour was the best and he suggested I take the Laura tour instead of the more famous Oak Alley. He said the Laura tour had more information and didn’t shy away from the history of the slaves. I take his advice and wait for the shuttle. It turned out Brian was also the …
I just came back from the best trip ever: New Orleans. It was part business trip, so I went by myself and stayed 6 days in the city. What made New Orleans so great was the awesome food, rich culture and the friendly people.
Here’s part 1 of my day by day summary:
Saturday:
Arrived in the afternoon and rode a taxi without an a/c. It was about a 20 minute ride to my hotel to the Garden District. Weather was humid but not bad. Checked in real quick and asked the front desk about the D-Day Museum. …

Welcome to the world of American cosplay. For those of you that don’t know, the world of cosplay involves creating and dressing up like your favorite characters from nerdy mediums like anime, manga, video games, fantasy, or sci-fi movies. We had a chance to chat with Ginny McQueen, a popular cosplayer in the community. Ginny talks about life as a cosplayer, her favorite things about cosplaying, and her experience on MTV. She’s as hardcore as they come, and she’s sexy to boot!
NERDSociety: Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Ginny McQueen: Hmm, where to begin? I’m a big nerd …
This week’s vintage toys comes from our long time reader, Paladin. These M.A.S.K. toys aren’t from the Jim Carrey movie. The toys are based on a cartoon show made in 1985 by Kenner. M.A.S.K. stands for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand. The line is similar to Transformers with transforming licensed vehicles from Chevrolet and Nissan.
Before the transformation
Led by Matt Trakker, the good guys battle V.E.N.O.M. (Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem). These two groups love using acronyms and they also like to fight each other, usually introducing new characters each episode so they can sell more toys. Just like most 80’s …
Phil “The New York Bad Ass” Baroni doesn’t care about what people think. He doesn’t care about political correctness. If your feelings get hurt, tough luck! His next fight will be in Strikeforce on June 6th. NERDSociety caught up with Baroni and asked him several questions including his take on the Greasegate, Dana White, and dating advice for the nerds. Watch the video to get a better understanding of Baroni’s rock star status and his demeanor.
NERDSociety (NS): Are you still living like a rock star with your classic car?
PB: Yeah that’s the car I use to drive …
This Toy Biz Robin came out in 1989. It looks like it’s based from the old Batman TV show because his hair is well groomed. For some reason, Robin is wearing an underwear made out of scales.
Button for karate chop
This toy is pretty beat up. I can’t find his cape and his karate chop action feature doesn’t work anymore. I still like the figure because it looks so damn old and brings back memory of the old Batman TV show.
