Comic-Con: 2nd Years
We paid our dues last year (still ranks as the most exhausting thing I've accomplished!), and thus our Sophomore year at Comic-Con International was brilliant. Felt just like a Sophomore year should: Retained a bit of that new-ish feeling and curiosity as we got to know things better but 'twas more laid back than being a freshie in that we now know what we are doing and people, in turn, know us.
I visited with old friends and made new ones, plus this year I was free to have more of a San Diego experience and, in what is becoming a SDCC tradition, got to hang out with some SEALS. Thank goodness for the hospitality of Navy SEALS: 2 years running! We'd ask them military questions, then they'd ask us production questions... remarkably, we were equally fascinated with one another's work. Or perhaps they were just politely returning interest. I mean we had a lot of questions about the war and combat, so. Anyway, did I mention it was brilliant? It was! Now I will show and tell you a little about the Con & our fellows, some of whom are top secret and could not be photographed (you understand):
Some people drive down, some take the train, some fly... I have my own mode of transpo to the Con.
Between moderating panels Phil (The Bad Astronomer) uses science to debunk hugging.
Sideshow Dusty (and Dax!). If you look at the photos from last year, she's super pregnant and now, poof!, replication of human life! It's alien magick.
OMG
j/k it's just adverts for a shitty movie.
Brad calls the world and tells them not to worry.
...Then gets totally stoked for his favorite toys ever. (Yessss!)
The exhibit hall is rather similar to last year's, except a few booths are now two-stories tall.
John and I are glad to see that Serg is back.
Jimmy charges up.
Aw yeah Wingman Taryn O'Neill is here: Time to rukkus!
For example:
Transformers Chevy product placement? Dear Michael Bay, FUFUFUFUFUFU!!1
Hey Taryn let's pose like serious models and then I'll show you the fastest way to get back to LA:
k just go through the shiny stuff and then...Vortex!
It was a short tour for us this go. Comic-Con was wonderful to us yet again (thanks, Clydene!). Couldn't have had a more pleasing time. I should have more photos coming my way, so we'll add new galleries during redesign. Really a pleasure to see you all.
For a little compare contrast, check out the Freshman year Comic-Con gallery on the Artemis Eternal site.
So... next year we'll be Juniors.
WE'RE GOING TO RULE THE SCHOOL!
