Saturday at Comic-Con
Man, my feet are tired. I was at the booth from 8:00 to 7:30 tonight, and didn't sit on a chair or pee the entire duration. Kind of tough, but really fun. Especially with Greg and Eric all day, and Wendy showing up later on. (Yeah, I guess the girls were cool to work with too...)
No shopping, no panels, or anything but lots of appearances by faces from the past. Friends I used to work with, someone I went to high school with... Crazy. It was pretty busy all day.
Costumes were interesting. Lot of furverts and Stormtroopers. Anime fans. Goths and metal dudes/chicks. No more Star Wars uniforms. What's up with that? I guess it's a sign of the times.
Right now Michell, Diana, Rosanna, and Eric are partying at the beach. I had Sipz vegetarian Chinese food and ice cream with a bunch of friends at Greg, Kelly, and Saoirse's backyard. It's super nice out under the stars. That's where I am right now.
Tomorrow should be more mellow. Less costumes. More locals, as visitors head home. Maybe I'll even check out some tables: Drawn & Quarterly, Fantagraphics, Last Gasp, Buenaventura, Sparkplug, Lost Dog...
Then it's time to pack up. That's another post.

it was waay too packed on saturday.. i waited with a couple of my friends so they could get day passes at around 11 1130 maybe? the line went all the way to seaport village! then, after waiting in line for over an hour melting.. my friend mari couldn't take it anymore.. and the security guy told us it was a 3 hour wait from where we were standing! there has got to be a better way. martin/wendy thanks for the bday wishes.. eric i think you said 'you get nothing'? but i may have heard wrong.. you know you love me.. quit playing hard to get.
It was great meeting you again, Martin. And your brother Eric too! Hopefully, I'll run into Mitch Mitchell again soon.

I learned something new today.
Shoot, I meant "no more Star Trek uniforms." There were tons of Star Wars ones.
It winds up I saw a couple pretty good Klingons and Federation outfits on Sunday, though. Musta been hot in there!
Sunday wasn't super eventful. I did get to roam for a little bit, but more to say hi to people at Top Shelf, Last Gasp, D&Q, Buenaventura, etc. than buy stuff.
