Comments on: The Daily Alison (Ep. 112, I embarrassed myself at Big Apple Comic Con so you don’t have to) http://alisonrosen.com/2009/10/the-daily-alison-ep-112-i-embarrassed-myself-at-big-apple-comic-con-so-you-dont-have-to/ Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend Wed, 23 May 2012 17:54:53 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Guest http://alisonrosen.com/2009/10/the-daily-alison-ep-112-i-embarrassed-myself-at-big-apple-comic-con-so-you-dont-have-to/comment-page-1/#comment-9018 Guest Sat, 17 Oct 2009 22:29:11 +0000 http://alisonrosen.com/?p=2232#comment-9018 Is it really possible to embarrass yourself at a comic book convention? I thought they were a celebration of awkwardness. And what's with the "con" thing? "I'm going to the con, man." Do you think they had a meeting of the committee on coolness and decided, "Yes! When we start calling it a "con", they'll never call us nerds again!" It's a damn geeky convention. Have some courage for God's sake, and just call it what it is. <br><br>But the day wasn't a total loss. You managed to find a guy with no detectable sense of humor at all. It made for a great video moment. No wonder there are those of us who believe that not recognizing Alison Rosen should be a crime punishable by death.

For Joe it was the opposite sex, for you it was nerds. <br><br>The look on your face when that guy would not take a photo with you is priceless!
