Thank you for that. And that article is spot on.

Hey MouseWife, read that, then send it to your sweetheart!

After reading that article I just have to share.
When I started with the Comic-Con I was about 20 years old. a peopn volunteer who worked on a register all day. I moved on, and started wearing a radio...
at that time, and in a way we still do, we used to have parties, and awards that served food and had a low attndance count. A sit down meal.

I ended up in line one time behind Sergio Argones.
I had no idea who he was, or what he did, other than draw; but I knew he was a someone. Everyone came over and talked to him while we were in line, and even at the buffet.

I still never knew what he did, or who he drew for (till that article) and really, it didnt matter.

But do you know, that man has never forgotten to say hello to me? All these years, and weight later, he recognizes, has a smile, and a hello, for someone he kept stalling the buffet line in front of.

Cool article but whaaaat? The El Cortez??? *sigh* Does no one know what the San Diego Community Concourse it? I went to my first concert there, Golden Hall, @ about 8 yrs.. {yeah, the same one I eventually vacuumed I won't mention how many years later}.

Right, Ponine, it was always held at the Concourse prior to the Convention Center??? He described it just as the Hubster did.

{Ya guys notice that I am totally going to avoid discussing those pictures....}

{and, Ponine, I'll either ask you in person or wait to hear from you when you get back!!}

Normally I'd agree with you. In this case? nah....
You wanna stay and look at the scantily clad girlies, you need a badge big boy.

Grunt. I knew there was a reason to read this thread. Tell me more about this Comic Con.

On second thought, don't bother: you've already told me as much as I need to know!

Too late to edit earlier post:

I talked with the Hubby and he said,yes, the CC did start out at the El Cortez. But, why don't them mention the concourse?

*sigh*
