Thanks to all of you who've been commenting on my last blog post with great suggestions for things to check out while we're here in New Orleans this week! Since a bunch of you brought up the Beignets from Cafe Du Monde, I decided to check 'em out. As you can see in the photo above, they're pretty insane. Why? Because it appears that the entire world's supply of powdered sugar rests on top of every order. With each order, you get 3 hot 'n tasty beignets that are absolutely covered in powdered sugar. I couldn't even finish it all because it was just so filling. But you guys were right, they're a lot like funnel cakes. Good stuff and thanks for the tip.
Per the recommendation of a local, we went out for dinner to an awesome little place called The Gumbo Shop. I love me some spicy chicken, and their blackened chicken was just as badass as I had hoped. I covered it in their homemade creole seasoning and pepper blend and cleaned that plate off in a heartbeat. Might have to stop by there again before I leave town. If nothing else, I'm gonna order some of their spices from their web site.
Anywho, I'm heading off for now, but I'm sure I'll have some photos to share with you guys when I get back. And don't worry, I'm still working on the huuuge Comic-Con photo gallery when I'm on a break at the hotel, so that's coming soon.
I'll be checking the blog randomly throughout the week, so keep those suggestions coming for places to see and food to eat! Talk to ya soon. Jambalaya!
p.s.: Sorry if this post made you guys extremely hungry. If you close your eyes and lick your screens, you can almost taste the Cajun flavors.
So I'm headed to New Orleans this week with Re because she was already going to the Siggraph convention being held there and we decided to make a little vacation out of it since neither of us had been there before. With that in mind, I'd like to open up this blog post to hear some suggestions for what we should check out from those of you who've visited or reside in New Orleans. Cool places to see, great restaurants to eat at, best place to buy a voodoo doll to torture my friends with, etc. etc. Please share thy wisdom!
In unrelated news, our huge Comic-Con photo gallery is coming along nicely and should be up sometime early in the week. Trust me, it's easily gonna be the largest gallery from the convention anywhere on the web, so it'll be well worth the wait.

Tonight is the last show before we're on a break until sometime in early-mid September, so you'll definitely wanna check this one out LIVE!
Also, if you missed our last episode from July 17th with special guest Hal Rudnick, you can get caught up on it before the show tonight. Click here to watch My Pet Snake: Part 1!
We've been insanely busy at Comic-Con ever since we arrived and it's been an absolute blast. Unfortunately, by the end of every day, I'm also absolutely exhausted so I haven't had much of a chance to post in the blog. So, until we get back into town after the con and post another huge collection of pics of the big event, here's a few quick booth photos from early on.
I'm not sure, but I think that guy in the foreground was a real zombie. Sure looks like it.
We seriously have an amazing spot in the convention center with lots of space for the crowds to come by and we have some awesome booth neighbors. Thanks to all of you guys who've already stopped by and said hi, bought our merchandise, proudly worn our pickle hats, and tried out our brand new parody flash game demo! It's been great meeting you all and we're looking forward to seeing more of you over the next two days! If you're gonna be at the convention this weekend, be sure to come stop by our spot (table #A10) and say hey!
Alright, onward I go to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Hey everybody! The cars are all loaded up and we're about to head down to the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con! for I-Mockery's first time ever as an exhibitor! I hope you can come visit us at the convention (table #A10) because we've got lots of fun stuff to show ya! Here's a small list of what you'll see:
-A demo of our big new flash game playable on a genuine NES controller!
-Two different I-Mockery t-shirts (one of which is brand new!)
-A special limited edition poster that you'll stare at for hours on end!
-The debut of Protoclown's brand new "Henching" comic books!
-PickleMan comic books!
-Strangepuppets comic books!
-Limited edition button packs!
-Rumored appearances by Doc Mock and Miss Diagnosis!
and last but not least...
-Brand new custom I-Mockery Pickle Hats!
It's really going to be an insane time and I can't tell you guys how excited I am about it. We've put so much work (and moola) into making this happen and it's all because want to celebrate the 13+ years this site has been online with the fans that have kept us going all these years! So if you're going to be at the Comic-Con, be sure to stop by I-Mockery Productions Table #A10!
Myself, Max Burbank, Protoclown, Dr. Boogie and Re will all be there at the table! Pox and Bom (who both worked on the game demo we'll be unveiling) are also supposed to be stopping by so maybe you'll get to see them as well.
And yes, to those of you who've been asking in the blog and via email, we'll be more than happy to sign anything of the merchandise (or any other weird things you bring to the convention for us to sign). Somebody was asking just the other day for me to sign a book that I'm in that I didn't even know was out on store shelves yet, so maybe you'll get to surprise us to by bringing us stuff to sign.
For those of you who can't come, we're sorry you're gonna miss it, but rest assured we'll still do our best to take as many photos of the convention as possible. Obviously, we're gonna be super-busy with the booth, but once I'm back in town from Comic-Con, I'll try to post up all those photos as quickly as possible. I'll also try to update the I-Mockery blog with some photos each day if time permits.
Again, for those of you who've never been, I feel I need to remind you of a very important fact: despite the misleading name, the Comic-Con has MUCH more than just comic books. True, if you're a fan of comic books, you'll be in heaven, but if you're not that into 'em, there's still PLENTY for you to do. Over the years, the convention has basically become a mega-media event. The convention center is chock full o' the latest video games for you to test out, tons of movie promotions, toys galore, incredible costumes, and some truly amazing artists as well. If anything, comics have taken a backseat to all the other crazy things going on at the convention. So yeah, the name is really misleading to some people, and that's unfortunate because they have no idea what they're missing out on.
Alright, that's all for now. Wish us luck... this is gonna be one hell of an insane week!
