I'll be too busy debating in newsgroups about technical errors in movies.

 

[secretanchitman]

[mindmaniac]

I was thinking of going. Would have been cool to see the BattleStar Galactica cast. Other than that I'm not into comics or trading cards at all so no big loss.

I went sat and sun.

wooo!!! i got orson scott card's signature on 3 books! (ender's game, shadow of the giant)

went to his panel today.


This yr's masquerade crowd was retarded. I really wanted to shoot this dude behind me for being overly lame and loud. And the dude in front of me took up 3 seats, and kept shifting left and right, so I couldn't see sometimes.

The cool skits were the princesses and princes of disney, lara croft vs night(something.. that blue xmen dude). The cool costumes were the asumona (sp?) brothers again. 2 yrs ago, they had that crazy eva unit mass production model one, and this yr, general grievous and that halo2 alien. Both were friggin incredible upclose. Really well done.


I didn't stay for the awards, so if someone knows who won the prizes, let me know hehe.


Got some Red Star comics. Cool comic series, seriuosly.

no it was super lame. They covered the whole 18wheeler w/ some huge black heavy cloth w/ the transformers logo on it, w/ the movie release date.

The 18wheeler wasn't even red, so they taped the exposed areas w/ some lame red tape thing.

Took up a crapload of space for nothing.


After i get my stupid camera up and running again, and when i feel like it, i'll post a few pics. The vast majority of my pics got corrupted after I attempted to turn off the camera, but for some reason, it couldn't access the CF card, and it crashed, essentially screwing up like 90% of the pics I took.

not really.
The number of the stereotypical "nerds" weren't that high. A lot of families came w/ their kids, a lot of fans of art in general and people who have appreciation in any form of artform (be it games, pure art gallery, comics, anime, wordplay, literature, toys, collectables, gadgets, pop culture, cult subculture, new art forms etc etc) came.

It was really a mixed bag of people.



Some of the girls were really hot. Even a lot of the girls walking around were good looking. Some even wore racy costumes, while others really should have refrained from either humiliating themselves and/or saved the public for being an eyesore. I mean yay for showing enthusiasm and support for your fav char/game/anime/comic/movie/etc, but phok, when you know you really can't show off your assets, then don't.
