Say Hi to Richard Elfman!

I actually wanted to go this year. I don't think it's gonna happen.

Friday and Saturday is sold out, but I'm told Thursday is actually more fun ... because it's not insanely crowded.

AND ... this is the first time in years and years ComiCon doesn't conflict with Disneyland Birthday.


BUT ... it would mean getting a third Thursday in a row off work. And, sigh, that ain't gonna happen.

I briefly contemplated going just to attend the Night of the Living Dead re-union, but I guess it wasn't that important to me because I made no effort at all. I would like to go one year, though, just to hang out and check out all the people.

It is so much more enjoyable to sneak in.

Remember when THE place to stay was the U.S. Grant? Remember when the film programming was 16mm? Remember the time we met Theodore Sturgeon, George Clayton Johnson and Harlan Ellison in the lobby of the Hotel San Diego? Remember when someone stole Jack Kirby's Eisner Award, and Harlan bitched everyone out over the intercom? Remember the time we all slept in the hospitality suite? Or when Patrick drank himself under the bed by 9:00 pm? I once slept on folding chairs in the screening room, lulled to sleep by Invaders From Mars. And what about Peter Goff and Vale Lord in elf suits? Or the haunted floor at the El Cortez?

It's way too big now.

With all you comics fans out there, I'm hoping somebody can tell me if Rex Morgan ever found the wrestling mats.

I'd be interested to go... some time. Can't this year, work and all.

Anyone know the connection between the Star Trek {premier?} night at the Aerospace Museum and the Comic Con?

Haven't heard about the Star Trek thing. I'm sure its to drum up business while all the geeks are in town.

LOL Hey, the geeks who live here resemble that remark!

thanks for that info, yeah, I guess that is seperate completely.
