ComiCon - Page 3

Ponine · 07-24-2006, 11:07 AM

Hey now... I saw you. For a whopping... what? Twenty seconds?

It was HUGE. HUGE! People everywhere.... I never stopped moving until Sunday when it started to die.
Every single time I thought, oh we'll have down time, we didnt. We'd get slammed again.

I cant begin to thank the people working with me. For the amount of people we spoke with, having everyone was what we needed to be able to see the floor at all.

MW- you prob came back the day my son was there. I tried to leave so that I coulsd see some of the show with him. And get him to the things I knew he liked.
Lets see... I saw Borneio, Mousewife, Lizziebeth, Capt Jack and DippyDawg(?), I cant remember his screen name.
Well, I saw him, we didnt speak. I dont think he realizes I know him.

Insane. Just insane.

Comiccon was insane. Lines for everything everywhere. It was my first time to the convention and honestly it was so overwhelming.

I took the train down Saturday morning and I had to sit on the floor of the Amtrak because it was so full. I was going to out Saturday night but I was so tired from all the walking I ended up taking the 8pm train home. Yea, well I shouldve stayed in SD! My train was delayed over an hour (so were the 5pm & 6pm trains), then we had a hold over for another hour or more in San Juan Capistrano THEN we broke down in Mission Viejo.

All in all my train trip took 6 hours! I got home Saturday night at 230 am (my stop point was Santa Ana). It was probably the most miserable trip. Hotter than hell while waiting to get in also.

Biggest highlight - Seeing Bruce Campbell!! I gotta get my Adv. of Brisco County Jr. DVD set now.

Ponine · 07-24-2006, 11:37 AM

Oh yikes!
I'd have put you up! Thats just crazy!
I didnt know how to find you, or that you were coming, so I am sorry I didnt get to see you, but I am SOOOOO glad you got to see Bruce Campbell!!!

Capt Jack · 07-24-2006, 12:05 PM

I was barely functioning by Sunday. You have no idea.
Bornieo saw me.... Saturday i think, while I had my youngling. he was trying to talk, the young one wanted to leave.... it was slow at the booth, but the hectic just kept coming.

Between patience with attendees, other volunteers, machinary, family, and constant inturruptions it was like having your button pushed all day long.

MouseWife · 07-24-2006, 01:14 PM

Twenty seconds is about all I had to myself.

I was at the Nintendo booth almost all of the time.

Yes, Ponine, you did look quite busy. I hope you are having a break today?

How old is your son? My youngest is 12. I couldn't even figure out what to get for my son from the booths, it was so crowded.

That train ride sounds miserable!!!

Ponine, thank you so much for everything. The kids enjoyed volunteering so much. Excited every night when they came home with stories. I wish they'd have dressed up for the Masquerade. They were Frankenstein and his Bride for Halloween and had very good costumes. But, we had a family event and that wiped us out.

Ponine · 07-24-2006, 03:18 PM

Mine is a month away from eight.
He got oodles of stuff from the Pokemon booth, and he got a shirt from Cartoon Network. We'll go through his loot tonight.
He was with my father most of saturday, so really, i dont know what he got yet.

MW, you are so very welcome. Your kids were a blessing. Thanks to them I had enough staff to make sure that my staff saw the floor, and didnt burn out.
People commented on your daughters tattoos, and came back looking for the nice person that helped them get their badges. They were incaluable.
I really never even got the chance to train them, I threw them both to the wolves!

Break... whats a break? I went to work, gotta payroll to do!

tracilicious · 07-24-2006, 04:30 PM

Um...did anyone see the Kingdom of Loathing booth?

Capt Jack · 07-24-2006, 04:49 PM

very! and when I went by, it was packed! even got a shirt and some bumper stickers

neat folks there. I think they were kind of surprised at how many folks actually came by that knew what and who they were.

Ponine · 07-24-2006, 04:52 PM

And before you ask, I think I have at least three codes. I knew that Pru, Traci and Bacon would prob want them.
They wouldnt just had a bunch to me! Even after I said "but there's a bunch of people on my Disney based message board out of state!"
