Yay!  Tonight I head down to Anaheim Convention Center for Blizzcon!

For the uninitiated, Blizzcon is an annual convention put on by Blizzard Entertainment, the company that makes World of Warcraft, as well as the Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo game franchises.

Ten million people play World of Warcraft, but only about 12, 000 of us lucky freaks get to go to the convention.  Getting tickets online for this quickly-sold-out event took steely determination and a bit of luck.

At the convention I will get to meet lots of people I play the game with, see many scary people in home-made costumes, and attend panel discussions about the games.

As an attendee I’ll also get the coveted Swag Bag, which will contain, among other things, an unbelievably brag-worthy polar bear mount that I can ride in the game.

I’ll try to get some pictures and report back to you, Dear Readers, on this deeply important event.
