It's Andy Fish!

HEROES CON is one of the big shows. It’s all comic focused, it does have some controversy around it that I won’t get into. It’s in Charlotte North Carolina where people are delusional enough to think that Charlotte in mid to late June is actually a pleasant place to be.

First, it’s a college-ish town, so you know what you’re getting into when you get there, but the thing that bother’s me the most is (and I’m sure I’m going to get dozens of emails telling me I need to look harder);

• It’s 200% humidity on a daily basis.

• They don’t know or understand what air conditioning is.

• There are no really great places to eat within walking distance of the show.

• If you don’t love BBQ you probably shouldn’t be here.

And I get it– if it’s your city you want to be proud of it (although when people come here and say “Oh man, the Woo Sucks!” I don’t say a word. I don’t think it does, but you aren’t insulting my Mom here, I can understand why some people don’t like it) but you’re really delusional in thinking that walking outside of an already too warm convention hall into a wall of wet floating air and into a tiny restaurant offering BBQ and advertised as “Air Conditioned Cool!” is actually warmer than the outside is normal, or even comfortable, I would say it’s more likely you’re acclimated to it.

I always wonder why CJ Kennedy and her husband don’t take a trip down there, because they would find a house nestled with newborn baby spiders and live a happy life of humidity.

BBQ I don’t get- because you can’t taste whatever the protein is– you can only taste the sauce. You could just as easily pour BBQ sauce on Macaroni and save the lives of millions of chickens and nobody would know.

As a man who loves Bufallo Wings I can get why you might think I’d love BBQ. I don’t get it either, I’m complex.

So why go? Well it’s an important show. There are editors there. There are deals to be made and people to talk to. It’s an important show.

That’s why.
