I was busy today at Yankee Stadium watching the Yankees sweep the lowly White Sox, as they are be expected to do (Adam tried to do the same when he went to that last game of Rays vs White Sox in St Pete and it didn't work out, sorry Adam
). On to my very late Spooky Empire recap...
7-11>now complains the coffee is
too hot>complains about the heat>complains about the traffic>complains about the heat again
Adam provides some useless info about the strip mall area this is held in, walks the line and gets said hello to by fans **social anxiety**, mentions the raunchy pool parties of years ago, makes it clear he never participated, makes it clear the event will still happen, just not at this location/facility (who gives a crap where it's held???), gets in line and gets inside.
And I'm immediately slapped in the face by remembering Adam's usual convention style of going booth to booth, shopping and "interviewing" cosplayers. He looks at some vinyl, then also calls some audio cassettes "vinyl". Adam gets a photo with "the guy from Basket Case" (his words, not mine, so he doesn't even know who it is), and it's his usual punchable pose complete with thumbs up, while the other person poses and smiles genuinely like a normal human. Also, orange shorts.

However that pose is amazing compared to this next one, I don't even know what to say. It's like someone said, "Hey buddy, pose like a giant a-hole" Again, the person he's with smiles normally and genuinely.

This guy was nice enough to pose with Adam trying to recreate a scene from something, and then he told Adam he's got a band and Adam should check it out, and instead of just buying the CD, Adam
took a picture of it and said yes, I'll check it out. Wait until you see the stuff Adam wastes money on this day, but he couldn't buy this CD. What a douche.

Adam purchased these stickers...don't seem very Woo-ish to me, but he likes to waste money

Then he buys a Gremlins t-shirt
. And even at a horror con he manages to find this:

Adam embarasses himself by filming two cosplayers and then says to them "I don't know who you are or what you're from", and the one guy has to tell him he's from Fallout, and Adam turns to the other guy and says "Are you from Fallout too?" and that guy says "No".
The Fallout guy gives him a Nuka Cola bottle cap and tells him he can look it up later, and then Adam tries to save face by saying he knows what Fallout is, he just hasn't watched it. Yeah, he's too busy watching the Blair Witch Project every week. The Fallout guy then told him there are also a bunch of very popular Fallout video games. If I'd been there, I would've explained Adam only plays 80s NES on a picture tube TV.
He then runs off to another area to find a "replica" of Walt's frozen head, heaven forbid he miss anything Disney anywhere. It's so funny when Adam and Jay get a "free hug" from Satan. Satan probably asked why Adam has caterpillars over his eyes.

Adam makes sure to point out the completely illegal and quite racist "Song of the South" DVD available for purchase...he makes sure you know he already has one, too.

"For $25 I got an 8 passenger ride vehicle from Back to the Future The Ride for the Corridor of Goons nerd room" says Adam

Then he spends $20 on the blu-ray of a movie called "Sewer Gators"

But there's just no time or money for the John Ritter or MJF foundations...just can't quite fit them in the busy schedule.
In a blink-or-you'll-miss-it appearance, that friggin' guy Kevin shows up for a split second

Finally, Adam
didn't realize the Walt's frozen head person sold keychains of Walt's frozen head, so he dropped
another $20 on that item
