As InvaderCON continues to commence, I grow more and more depressed…but nobody cares about that! I'm watching a Zim marathon right now, courtesy of Nicktoons Network, and am happily looking at the scheduled events for InvaderCON. Remember, I may make some mistakes since I'm not actually there, I'm just relaying some information for those of you who can't attend.
This morning, episode viewings began and will end at 12:00 AM. The opening ceremonies were at 10:00 AM and after, the unfinished episode scripts were read WITH the voices. Somebody please put that on YouTube. Richard Horvitz's panel, Rikki Simons' autograph table, and Melissa Fahn's autograph table have already come and passed…try again tomorrow! ^.^ Puppets were made to please the Tallest who couldn't attend to their subjects' celebration. Well, I think the whole "celebrating Zim" kind of set them off.
Rikki Simons' panel was next, where he sat through GIR Hell for 45 minutes and Richard Horvitz and Andy Berman took over the autograph tables. Poor Horvitz, his voice must be GONE right now. Think about it, he had to do Zim and Billy in the same day…loud, very loud.
Melissa was up next for the panel session of TORTURE! Has she ever witnessed the insanity that is a ComiCON? If she hasn't, she's prepared for anything after being surrounded by insane Zim fans. Eric Trueheart painfully sat through an hour at the autograph table. I wonder if he thought about actually going to Animation Hell like Frank Conniff did. Jhonen drew a smiley face over the blood stain on the carpet. I bet people had fun at the Post Puppet Production Performance with those crazy Sci-fi Janitors. I've always wanted to meet Agent DarkBooty.
Andy Berman sat through the insanity next, probably got a lot of questions about large-headed-ness. Oh, turns out Eric started LYING about writing on Invader Zim. Yes, I knew Jhonen had an underground torture chamber filled with blood and Barney! I KNEW IT! The return of Rikki Simons at the autograph table must have had GIR fans in frenzy. Melissa made her return too. Poor people.
People registered for the Costume Contest with little to no Bloaties. I hope that kick-ass Poop Dog costume makes its return. Trust me, that costume was pretty kick-ass. Rikki Simons shared his coloring techniques with artists-to-be. Richard and Andy came back to the autograph tables after about an hour of Zim and Dib impressions. Actually, make that freaking HOURS of that.
The Costume Contest was up next. I really wonder who won that, Zim, GIR, Gaz, Dib, Roboparents…who knows. There was a Soapy Waffles workshop next that I don't know what the Hell it was for. Man, Rikki went to the autograph table a lot today, same with Melissa. They must be deaf by now…
The Music Video Contest and Invader Zim Taboo must have been crazy. I mean, IZ Taboo? It's a hard game and how do you describe "dictionary" using only IZ references? It's impressive if you can. Either that, or kind of creepy. Richard and Andy were forced back to those damned autograph tables after much persuading and pain. Well, I've caught up to the present.
Anyway, a giant panel with all five guests all about working on Invader Zim going on right now. There's a vendors room event for random art stuff. I don't know what I was about to say. Oh, an Operation Head Pigeons panel! Cool! After that, there's a Room With a Moose panel!
For the ones staying over, there's the dinner of DOOM containing, oh, I don't know…toast? Beans that will destroy the world? Who knows…
GIR fans, go crazy 'cause there's going to be a RAVE! Maybe Richard will jump up on the stage again and start dancing. That was an entertaining YouTube video. And finally, the viewing party comes to a close at 12:00PM. So, that's the day at InvaderCON.
I'll get some more stuff tomorrow to post, and I'll try to find some InvaderCON videos on YouTube. The only thing I've found is the Soapy Waffles channel with a LiveStream for InvaderCON, so check it out. See you on the flip side!
