I was at Phillycon this past weekend.
Here is my sad little tale.
Once upon a time I had pre-ordered the Magdalena statue from a markfcg (If I'd only googled then what I'd googled now). That never worked out.
So I go to wizardworld and the Moore booth has the Magdalena statue. I was all set to grab it but my wife had to see Kevin Nash now! So she dragged me over to the autograph area. I finish there come back and Magdalena is GONE!
<Darth Vader>NOoooooooooooooooooooooo!</Darth Vader>
I was standing there at the Moore booth and I felt like I was on the deck of the S.S. Poseidon as a tidal wave bore down on me. I was helpless to do anything, not even Gene Hackman could save me. You're going the wrong way!
Oh cruel world! It appears the fates have decreed that I shall never obtain that statue.
And to make matters worse, the Liberty Brewhouse is gone! Gone! I couldn't even drown my sorrows in a hearty micro-brewed beer.
On the gossamer strings of hope are our dreams born. The cold rocks of Poseidon's sea dash them.
I HATE YOU PHILADELPHIA!
