repost: r|break: a l'il more comic-con pix ...

and my last batch of comic-con '06
to revisit and share
(in addition to this and that)
now that i'm missing comic-con '07 in SD

[original post here]

recap - last friday, 07/21, went to annual comic-con w/friends and learned it's more than just comics. another few more pics below ...

steady stream of lots o' people
(and i mean LOTS o' people)

classic (?) dolls for the youths to collect

movie character figures to collect
(shaun of the dead dudes)

or perhaps
just dolls for adults to collect

and as if movie trailers weren't enough ...!

better pic of poster at www.snakesonablog.com.

snakes on a plane was well-represented.

repost: r|break: comic-con is more than ...

today is the official 1st day of comic-con '07 in SD
last year i was at comic-con
and i did have a great time!
[original post here]

... folks dressed up in star wars gear and superheroes. a few other pics (that survived the blurry mess of photos i took ... it's tough being short, trying to take still photos, and getting totally bumped around) ...

cool metal stuff from movies
(alien, right? wrong?) at which to stare

exercise opportunities ... ddr
... as we simply watched on
(as if one ALSO needed to perspire indoors)

clothing
"... come out to playeeeyayyy! warriors, ... "
(movie memorabilia)

not so much clothing
(a.k.a. alleged booth babe ...)

... and if you look closely at the top right ... black t-shirt ... yes, that blobby, white image is a rice cooker.

a l'il more later.

[boba fett, moi, random storm trooper]
friday at annual comic-con
"no, i did not leave my princess leia costume at home."

"i had no idea what/who boba fett is/was until yesterday."

"hot guys at the conference? hmmmm ... "

[i had to check how to spell princess 'leah' and 'bohbafed' ...
otherwise, i would have spelled them as i just typed them.]

back story ... my friend, ren, has 15,000+ comics, and two years ago, he introduced me to super heroes beyond the traditional and more well-known TV show justice league early-on with superman (... had NO IDEA of others! and a fav - bouncing boy?!). i attended '04 comic-con. fun, different, wildly popular, crowded, intense, adult a.d.d. world, unbelievable.

'06 comic-con office-outting ... todd and i met with ren for the festivities! (san diego convention center air-conditioned enough)

so pix from our outting for your enjoyment. and trivia i learned by observing the comic-con folks ...











todd may have lost out on a really good deal on a green hornet ring ... catwoman, batgirl, robin, batman speak english and some spanish ... flash carries a back-pack around and may be filipino ... gals wear funky booby-things (and then some) ... storm troopers can kinda be hot.

o.k. - more pix later ... i must continue to perspire and work in this heat!
(conserve electricity!)
