San Diego Comic-Con 2009 - Day 1
My brother Greg (right) and I were talking about the difference between being a "guest" of the Comic-Con and working a table. Yes, it sucks to miss panels and presentations with the likes of Shinya Tsukamoto, Hiyao Miyazaki, and Charlyne Yi, but (1) we interviewed them for the mag anyway and (2) I actually see and talk to more people at work than I would at play. Here are some of the friends that dropped by the GR booth 1729 today...
Of course, GR store manager "Mitchelle" was there.
Paco of Kung Fu Grip and In His Image zines fame.
GR ad person extraordinaire Margaux.
Adam from the Attract Mode videogames collective.
Indie artist Anthony Leano.
Austin from Sole Tech.
The man, the myth, the monkey, Paul Frank.
Drunken Master/GR family for life Kiyoshi and Ribs Steven Weissman.
Film director/Black Panther writer Reggie Hudlin.
Pop star/video host Ai Cherie.
Artist Bwana Spoons and half of Poketo, Ted Vadakan.
Photographer Roman Cho.
Ex-intern Melissa.
GR cover artist/T-shirt folder Saelee Oh.
Artist/Man of Steel Matt Furie and artist/super villain Aiyana Udesen
Afterward... Ethiopian food!

Doooood. Every year I look forward to the board meeting but no go this year. Say hi to Greg for me and have fun if you go out (I hear there's a little swell in the water. heh heh. heh heh)
Thanks, Martin. It was good to see you at Con again and to meet your bro also.
