California Dreamin'

One of our studio's clients is Blizzard Entertainment, which makes the Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo videogame franchises. Allison and I enjoy playing their games, so we volunteered to go to Blizzcon in Anaheim to "shmooze" the clients. :)



Of course, being a videogame convention, Blizzcon was heavy on: a) nerds, b) costumes, and c) nerds in costumes.

Here is one such mega nerd.

Standing next to her is an attendee dressed up as a moonkin, a type of druid from the World of Warcraft.


"Half price wings at Denny's! Yargh!!"

Throughout the halls were these massive statues of iconic Blizzard game characters. This is an orc warrior riding a worg mount.

And of course, we couldn't go to Anaheim without stopping by the Happiest Place on Earth!



Here is Allison at the Mickey garden just inside the gates of Disneyland.



The biggest problem of entering the world of yesterday and tomorrow: what verb tense are you supposed to speak in?



Overlooking the Finding Nemo submarine ride. In the background is Mt. Wannahockaloogie. It's much bigger than it appears in the movie.



Coffee, tea... or me? :P



Allison and her little gryphon hatchling from Blizzcon give us the all-clear for takeoff back home!

And th-th-th-th-th-... that's all, folks!

Oh wait.
