Blizzcon 2007
Two years ago, Jenn and I attended Blizzard’s first Blizzcon in Anaheim, got our first look at World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade and generally had a hell of a good time.
The company has just announced a new one, a month after Jenn’s due to give birth. We’ll see if either or both of us can go, but it was a great time last time, so at this point, I’d love to go. (Also see the Blizzcon FAQ.)
And hey, maybe Murky will get a brother out of it. The WoW Model Viewer mod reveals that there are other colors of murloc babies in the game files:
I have no inside info when I say the following: With the demise of E3 last year, this is a move that seems obvious in retrospect, since it gives Blizzard a high-profile venue to promote their games (I’d expect to see the new WoW expansion announced and possibly previewed, and maybe another non-Warcraft game announcement), with good media attendance (and free passes for the biggest names) and a very friendly audience. All of which means this year’s Blizzcon is likely to be even more interesting than the last one.

… a month into new parenthood, I guarantee Jenn will jump at the chance to get out of the house and have Daddy spend some quality time with Boy Yar-baby.
Heh.

Heh. I won’t be going this time, but I’ll make up a milestone while he’s gone. “Oh, the baby just said his first word! You missed it. Sorry, bud.”
Either that or “bring me some Kung Pao Sphaghetti from CPK on the way back!”
