Fan expo parent buys AnimeNYC Parent

According to reports, Informa, the parent company of Fan Expo, will buy Clarion Events, the parent company of many event-focused subsidiaries, including LeftField Media, which owns AnimeNYC, Anime Frontier, AwesomeCon and Rose City Comic Con.

Informa proposed raising £940 million in new equity to partly fund the acquisition of UK-based Clarion, which owns over 100 business-to-business live event brands.
Informa CEO Stephen Carter said it was time for the group to focus on B2B events, which now accounted for the vast majority of its earnings and growth.

It looks like they’re buying them for the B2B events, and the fan events may just be collateral.

B5 RPG stuff

Bought a few of the second edition of the B5 RPG. All written by Gareth Hanrahan. The Final Flight of Santiago is one of my favourite RPG scenarios.

A shoutout in The He-Man Effect

It’s a neat book about children’s toys and their marketing in the 80s.

Guest starring Alpha Flight! Wolverine #142 (July 28, 1999)

>Logan gets back to his roots - namely the Canadian super-team called Alpha Flight?! Too bad he gets caught in the middle of their current mission: To capture a former ally!

Available Marvel Unlimited? No. 👎🏻

You can learn more about the issue in these recaps, summaries, and blog posts:

This was Alpha Flight’s first appearance after Volume 2 ended six months earlier. Writer Erik Larsen does seem to be moving the team back towards the original six with new members mostly ignored. It’s a slightly different take on the team but it’s exciting to see them go up against MODOK and AIM. 

The next issue (143, August 25, 1999) continued the story with some favourite Alpha Flight themes: death and resurrection.

I remember just being excited to have any Alpha Flight - even if the art wasn’t always up to my liking. Heather was very sexualized inside. See the blog post linked above for an example.

Refund worked very well

My wife asked about going to see Toy Story 5, so I told her I'd get some tickets for tomorrow night at our local Cineplex.

I put the order in through the app and accidentally bought them for tonight instead (footnote: I wondered why Tuesday tickets seemed to be so much) and when I noticed I asked for a refund. And it worked pretty easily!

I just said "can I get a refund?" and it said "sure, why?" And I said "wrong day!" and they just reversed it very easily. So, yay, the system worked.
