Nothing like a 3 day geek convention to introduce me to the West coast. Armed with my nerdy t-shirts, camera, sketchbook, and magical Super Mario 3 baseball cap, I tried to absorb as much info as possible. I apologize in advance for the random panels I attended.
3 things you need to know: 1) One fan stabbed his friend in the eye with a pen for a seat for “Cowboys & Aliens” 2) Stan Lee made out with two chicks simultaneously in the Marriot hotel lobby on Saturday night, and 3) this will all be in documentary by Morgan Spurlock

No this is not news of an unreleased horror feature….It’s a bit of New York centric geek news. I know…I’m surprised too!
Growing up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn I occasionally used to visit the Sheepshead Bay area (which isn’t too far away,) mostly to see a movie with my folks or buddies of mine. Once in a while I’d go there to get some food but once I reached college the place kinda skeeved me out.
More often than not people went there to get on a boat that would take you further out to sea for fishing. In recent years it’s become haven for a bunch of shoddy restaurants and randoms stores that have shut down or reopened alongside weird rinky dink mini malls and the odd assortment of strange homes.
Strange homes indeed….in fact one of them used to belong to legendary Illustrator and Animator extraordinaire Winsor McCay. Winsor McCay created “Little Nemo in Slumberland,” and also “Gertie the Dinosaur.”
His home still stands in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn though it’s a shadow of it’s former self. Squating tenants, Bedbugs, Drugs and other general nastiness have taken refuge in this once beautiful home. Hence the new title.
This article over at Sheepshead Bites tells you more.
Another awesome tidbit: The home is on Voorhies Avenue. Like Jason Voorhees…it’s spelled slightly differently but it’s still kinda creepy.
This past weekend, myself and Brett Hall attended the New Super Mario Bros. Wii launch event at The Nintendo Store in Rockefeller Center, New York City. Here are some photos we snapped!
