The blog from 30,000 feet

I just off the red eye flight from LA to New York – my travel agent must love me, because she gave me a seat that had an infant in the row behind me. An infant that had a scream that could wake the dead. And scream it did… The. Entire. Flight. As such, given that I got all of 2.34 minutes of uninterrupted sleep, I have made the seemingly foolhardy decision to not indulge in daytime sleep but rather power through another day of New York Comic Con preparation. Hey, when duty calls (especially comics-related duty), you better believe that I answer.

In keeping with this week’s theme of all things Comic Con, I wanted to share the overall Fox Atomic / New York Comic Con panel and signing schedule (below). Bear in mind that the schedule below lists just timed events; all throughout the show at the Fox Atomic booth we’ll have all sorts of wackiness going on – exclusive giveaways, a prize wheel, mutant ‘make-overs’, the lovely Fox Atomic Ladies, computers for you to enter the 15 Gigs of Fear promo or check your MySpace profile (we ARE the official MySpace meet-up point ;), a petting zoo (ok, maybe not), and more!

Keep checking this spot, because I do have a little surprise to announce later this week... Again, if you’re headed to the show, please be sure to stop by and say hi!
