San Diego 2008

Sorry I lamed out on dinner (and went AWOL for the past week or so on here) guys, the usual total overwhelming and bewilderment of SD, and then an onslaught upon returning to work (my boss is in Italy for bereavement leave, and the guy that is then in charge is in Italy on vacation, running in circles all day is grand.) Oddly enough, after preview night, me and my delinquent companion Doyle tried to find the Tilted Kilt (and failed miserably, based on having no idea where it was, and a complete unwillingness to do anything besides quit and have beers elsewhere). I hope it was all I imagined it to be. Show was overwhelming (again), but I left with a more worthy prize for my efforts this year, a painted page by Sam Kieth of the Hulk punching a polar bear. Here's an attempt at making up for my lack of awesomeness at the show, this is certainly something I'll hear the end of. ever.:

very cool to meet you to Johnny, even for a moment.

Next year, we will have to hook up. We'll save you a seat at the poker game.

Whatever, slacker.

Which super nerd are you?

Oh, and did you get your box of....whatever it was you bought from me, that I've since forgotten.....?

JohnnyRnR · Post by **JohnnyRnR** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 12:35 am

Sulu, I think.. (Not quite nerdy enough to be sure). The bald one of course, I'm on a comic board!

JohnnyRnR · Post by **JohnnyRnR** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 12:37 am

And yep, had a box from you, and one from Sonicdan waiting in Brooklyn for my sexy return. Between your box and the one Kirk in that pic brought, I knocked out a good chunk of Groo 100-120 (I think I'm only missing three before that)

ZephyrWasHOT!! · Post by **ZephyrWasHOT!!** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 12:50 am

Good. You got those damn Groos for a steal (what I would have HAPPILY paid for them.)

So....you owe me a Zim....er, beer.

Come to think of it, a lot of people owe me a beer.......

Nice chops.

You better believe it! I went to the Sideburn Technical Institute for fourteen years to carve out those babies. Now I'm halfway to my nonexistent dream of being a pro wrestler. I just need to pick my personal shade of magenta for my Speedo and boots, and put on about two feet in height and 150-200 pounds of muscle.

I really wanted to go to the Star Trek exhibit, but didn't have a chance.

I'll settle for my picture on Picard's chair at the Star Trek experience in the Hilton.

If/when back in San Diego, I can recommend the park that seems to connect almost a dozen museums even more than the exhibit. It was stunning. And there was a guy with no arms playing guitar with his feet who the locals called Big Toe. Pretty badass.
