We'll be at Pasadena Comic-Con this coming Saturday, May 24th. It usually happens in January but was delayed due to the wildfires since the Convention Center ended up being a refuge for the displaced -- fair enough considering our own close call with being displaced!
We should be at D2 in the Main Ballroom section, which is in light pink, under Clint & Dawn Wolf.
Y’all are familiar with the uncanny valley, right? Well Dawn had to float this video across my radar, partly because it made her laugh and partly because it’s like ClearStream tried to do the worst possible replacement for a live Suzie Zane.
In actuality it’s part of a video series by a lady named Simone Giertz, who does build these robots herself and likes to hurl straight into the uncanny valley with them. In this case, the Westworld TV show sponsored her to do something thematic for them. It’s fun stuff, although a not-so-fun development is that she was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. Sigh. Sometimes it seems like everything we enjoy these days comes with some darkness attached, eh? But still, I suppose the least we can all do is support her with a viewing or two.

That feels like my life with my eyes these days …
