So, it’s just around 10pm, on Sunday Night, January 22nd, 2012. I don’t typically go into real, personal detail on this blog, as it’s main purpose and goal is for it to be a catalog of all things nerdy that I enjoy. That said, I started tweeting a bit earlier, and I feel like it’s something that would work in a longer form written piece, and here we are.
For those who are somehow aware of this blog, and not aware of , let me explain that real quick. Super Art Fight is an absolutely amazing live art competition, kind of a mix of pro-wrestling and Pictionary. Started by Jamie Noguchi and Nick Borkowicz, I had the pleasure of being there for it’s inception, being asked to become the live show host, and being a key member behind the scenes ever since. In the interest of full disclosure, I handle all of the matchmaking/storylines, amongst many other things. On Thursday Morning, I leave for San Francisco. This is quite a big deal, as not only is it our first show on the West Coast, but we’re performing as a part of the Macworld|iWorld expo (formerly just Macworld), which in the tech world is something of a “big deal”. More than that, this is literally going to be my second flight ever, and the farthest I’ve ever traveled away from home. It’s very much riding on my mind as of late (understandably), but not out of nerves or fear, but the realization of how incredibly lucky and fortunate I am to have an opportunity like this.
Thinking about this is taking me back to where it all started – not just Super Art Fight proper, but my whole mix up in this world of comic, arts and performing. A step I never thought I’d take. It’s been a long journey, with a lot of help from amazing people along the way. This goes in depth, so prepare your reading glasses, gang.
