Ahoy, I'm Peter Tatara. In brief, I'm left-handed, a vegetarian, and my blood type is A. I work for the New York Comic Con and New York Anime Festival and have a cute girlfriend and a Space: Above & Beyond boxset. I'm generally a happy guy.

Did you know�
New York Comic Con is a place of excitement, entertainment, and – sometimes – magic. Did you know Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid got its start at NYCC? Believe it!

Did Ya See G4 Underground?
G4 Underground premiered last night on -- you guessed it -- G4. The show is a news magazine covering odd, extreme, illegal, and underground topics. Last night's premiere focused on real-life super heroes (and amateur porn). The super hero segment looked at two gents who dress up in masks and tights in real-life, including one -- Dark Guardian -- who patrols the streets of New York City. Really.
If you missed it, G4 Underground reairs tonight at 9 PM EST.
