San Diego 2008

[dbostejano]

Any chance I could get one of you fine folk to pick up a King Grayskull exclusive up from the Mattel booth?

Just COME already!

I wish I could, really, I'm gonna be working during the day, and hanging out with my boss and coworkers at night. And this just in, theres a chance the company may cancel out annual conference due to the state of the economy.

Well, I just bought a pass for Sunday, so I'll be there all four days. I figure I'll take Monday off and travel home then instead of Sunday.

I'll be able to do all my mop up shopping then.

I'm bringing money to spend, and I have a feeling a lot of it will be spent Sunday.

Plus, I'm gonna have all of the money from the poker tournament to spend...

[ZephyrWasHOT!!]

Ok, now I just got, for the first time, a little twinge of excitement....

[Elveen]

I might be looking forward to the poker game and witty banter as much as the convention itself.

It'll be crickets chirping... we'll have to all get online to chat with each other.

[ZephyrWasHOT!!]

Oh no.....I'm as much of a loudmouth in person as I am online....

Fo' sho.

Between all of us..... I don't see any dead air space.


I do see a long game of...... "I can talk louder than you can."

The programming for Thursday has been released.
http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci08_prog_thu.php

I will be attending:

1:00-2:00 Hi-Fi Coloring Workshop—Brian Miller (Superman) and Kristy Miller (Hi-Fi Color for Comics) share their tips, tricks, and techniques for coloring comics. Want to learn how to color? Join Brian and Kristy for a coloring demonstration and Q&A session. Room 30CDE

-I've got their book and it is pretty good.

5:00-6:00 The Third Annual Comics Podcasting Panel—The best of the best in comics podcasting returns to San Diego for the third annual discussion of comics podcasting and how it’s affected the comics media. Rick Remender (writer of Fear Agent, Punisher War Journal, The End League) moderates a no-holds-barred discussion with comics podcasters Bryan Deemer and Peter Rios (Comic Geek Speak), Charlito and Mr. Phil (Indie Spinner Rack), Joe Gonzalez and Jimmy Aquino (Comic News Insider), Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick (iFanboy), and John Mayo and Bob Bretall (Comic Book Page). Room 32AB

-I've met a couple of these guys, and interacted online with a few more of them. These panels are always fun and interesting, especially since, well, I do a comics podcast too.


Possibly attending:

6:00-7:00 DC Nation—DC Senior VP/executive editor Dan DiDio hosts this gabfest with Keith Giffen (Reign in Hell, Ambush Bug: Year None), Geoff Johns (Action Comics, Green Lantern), Brad Meltzer (DCU: Last Will and Testament), and some of the top talent in the industry, talking and teasing upcoming stories! Come learn the secrets behind the most talked about events of the summer! Room 6A

-DC Nation panels are always a lot of fun, but you can always read abotu them on CBR or Newsarama, so I might go to:

6:00-7:00 From Fan to Creator: Goal Setting for Creative Types—Which side of the convention table do you want to be on: artist or fan? And what’s keeping you from getting there? If you have an idea in your head that you’ve had trouble bringing into reality, you might benefit from this fun and practical goal-setting workshop, designed specifically for the Comic-Con crowd. Teacher and life purpose coach Douglas Neff will give you simple, proven techniques for achieving your most important goals. And this year, a surprise guest panel will fill your head with inspiration before you leave. Whether you want to write your own screenplay, draw your first comic, or shoot your independent film, you’re sure to get something useful from this informative and energizing workshop. Room 30CDE

-Might be good, or might be a lame panel for people that can't put on their shoes without encouragement.

I went to that one last year and didn't like it, I didn't even stay.

It's mostly a motivational speaking panel. They give you a piece of paper to fill out with where you see yourself in a few years and how you plan to get there, stuff like that.

Good to know. I thought it might be pretty useless.

I'm really interested in achievement/success type self help stuff, but I thought this might be pretty low level stuff.

I'll either hit up DC Nation or go get a drink with the podcasting guys.

I imagine I will be at the panel from 5-6, then hanging out talking to folks for a bit, then heading back for the game.
