MouseWife 07-06-2010 11:23 AM

Are you going all days?

Who else is going?

Moonliner 07-06-2010 12:10 PM

If anyone goes and happens to score an autograph from Pauley Perrette you could make a young hipster squeal with glee.


Kevy Baby 07-06-2010 01:14 PM

I saw a sign over the weekend that said "Twilight ruined Comic-Con". I have no opinion one way or the other, I just wanted to share.

Bornieo: Fully Loaded 07-06-2010 01:51 PM

I've no idea who Pauley Perrette but I'm a bit scared by that pic.

We'll be there Thurs- Sunday and its Mindy's first SDCC.

Kevy- Hopefully there won't be any Twilight this year and the Twilighters will get the message to ship out!

mousepod 07-06-2010 02:10 PM

I'm hoping that we'll be there on Friday and Saturday - Heather is taking a vacation day!

Ms. Perrette plays the character of "Abby" on the TV show NCIS.



The photo in the original post is Headliner (aka my daughter) in her "Abby" costume from Halloween last year.

you cannot be serious. chanches are good there are a dozen twi-hards in line already

BarTopDancer 07-06-2010 02:50 PM

I love Pauley Perette and my co-workers call me Abby. I may not dress like her but I guess I fit her personality.

I wanted to go but they aren't having anyone from SG-1 and I have some choice words for those involved with SG:U. Though I didn't know PP was going to be there. Is anyone else from NCIS going to be there? And more importantly, how in the heck is NCIS remotely classified as something for ComicCon?

Cynthia 07-06-2010 03:47 PM

My husband likes the Abbey character so much he named his GPS after her . . .

innerSpaceman 07-06-2010 04:09 PM

I've never been to Comic Con, and have no desire to. But I like those two exclusive Star Wars items (except that the Han Solo figure looks nothing like Harrison Ford).

The one thing I like about Comic Con is that they finally moved it off of Disneyland Birthday weekend, so it's not a conflict for many of my friends. Hooray!

MouseWife 07-06-2010 04:47 PM

My family {and all of their freinds} all are nuts over it. I've always just been mom making sure people don't over do, over spend, or get lost.

I like to see some of the things but mostly I am overwhelmed.

As a kid, I loved comic books. Richie Rich, Betty & Veronica, Archie. All of this is *whew* over my head.

But, I do live in San Diego. I've put myself off {I think} from work until the end of July due to a foot issue so....maybe I'll be around.

You'd know of course, heheh, but I read several places that Twilight wasn't going to be around this year.

Lets all pray.

It doesn't. Problem is that Hollywood has taken a comic convention and turned it into a media convention. While just about no one will complain about Sci-fi movies or fantasy movies having presentations, but shows like NCIS and Glee should not. Yes Glee is supposed to be there too. Start another convention for stuff like that.

BarTopDancer 07-06-2010 08:25 PM

I'd to to kidnap see Ben Browder, Michael Shanks and Mark Harmon.

Nothing? Geeze, you'd think they could a least publish a token graphic novel based on the show.

I've never seen the show, but she is a hottie!

€uroMeinke 07-06-2010 09:19 PM

I have no idea who Abby is either, but if you come across an nude/semi-nude pics I might be interested as well

This

And this:


ETA: Found a topless shot - nice boobs.

Bornieo: Fully Loaded 07-07-2010 02:58 AM

They are Pauley's. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Regardless of what reality says.

In fact, I think I shall contact Pauley to get a personal visual and tactile confirmation.

I do too.

Not the best Photoshop job in the world, but good.

My biggest gripe is that the artist could have blended it a bit better without blurring the area right below the chin, and at least match the head shadows with the body ones. But, nice try anyway.

Pauley's a really nice person. She's very giving and does a lot of charity work too. :)

Excellent plan, but please be sure to secure an autograph for Headliner before moving on to the tactile confirmation stage.

Kevy Baby 07-07-2010 03:23 PM

One of the things that really reinforces her sexiness is the fact that she is forty-one! And it's not like "she's sexy for a forty-one-year-old," it's "she's sexy AND she's forty-one!"

Double yowza!






Oh, and uh... I hope everyone who is going enjoys Con

Quote:

You’ve probably heard of Fred Phelps and his Topeka Kansas Westboro Baptist Church. He and his followers have well-earned a reputation as the most notorious, tasteless bigots in America. They get their thrills by showing up in force at funerals to protest the lifestyle or the politics of the diseased. These un-American vultures prefer going to funerals of gay American servicemen who were killed in combat overseas. They also protest at the funerals of those who “tolerate” homosexuality. Just ask the family of the late Meet the Press host Tim Russert, who also committed the additional crime of being Catholic.

It turns out they don’t like comic book fans either.
Writer Kurt Busiek posted what would be the responce.


Disneyphile 07-14-2010 07:25 PM

I totally think some people need to dress as the Jesus action figure or Buddy Christ. :evil:

Melonballer 07-14-2010 09:20 PM

They were talking battle plans for the counter protest on 4chan a week ago. Expect signs that say things like "The Joker hates everyone" and lots of people in Northstar, Batwoman and Question costumes.

Disneyphile 07-14-2010 10:44 PM

I also think it's a good time to raise money for non-profits that they hate.

I'm tempted to go down there, dressed as a pregnant Mary with Ken as Joseph, and take up a collection for Planned Parenthood. :evil:

Morrigoon 07-14-2010 10:59 PM

Oh my god, people still use 4chan?

Morrigoon 07-14-2010 10:59 PM

Alex (my Alex) was suggesting Buddy Christ

Capt Jack 07-15-2010 08:17 AM

that would go over well during the zombie walk. (6pm saturday the 24th....btw)

Go as a pregnant nun and a rabbi - that way you can piss everyone off.

alphabassettgrrl 07-19-2010 09:05 PM

Huzzah to the counter-protest! I think my favorite part is the thank-you card they're going to send to the moron clan telling them how much money they raised for the good causes!

CoasterMatt 07-19-2010 09:23 PM

I want a Robot Chicken "Convention Nerd" toy.

LSPoorEeyorick 07-20-2010 06:52 AM

I don't have tickets this year (new man on the totem-pole) but for those of you who are going, check out the Buried display at Lionsgate - my team created it!

Kevy Baby 07-20-2010 09:33 AM

In case you needed another reason to go:

Fetish Noir Invades Comic Con "THE MILLION KINK MARCH"

(Ads on the link are NSFW)

Quote:

A group of Fetish Noir members from Los Angeles will be marching through Comic Con. We'll be handing out Fetish Noir cards, pamphlets for the NCSF, and all kinds of goodies for the geeky and the kinky.

It will be a glorious sexual revolution, for both the repressed and the wicked, and the most amazing flash mob you've ever seen.

MouseWife 07-22-2010 09:58 PM

In only hope this doesn't bring them out in droves....surprised I haven't received an email telling me all about the evilness of Comic Con, gays, not being saved.

What about the Disney thing at the Midway? I've had conflicting reports. Some say on the computer, some say in the side of the ship.

If anyone knows, what side of the ship {if so} and what time?

alphabassettgrrl 07-23-2010 09:43 AM

I knew I loved nerds! Don't mess with people with brains!
