My trip to San Diego Comic Con 07

Yep, you read that right. Comic Con. We went to visit my girlfriend Liz's sister & sis's husband, who live in Carlsbad, and the moon and the stars aligned all proper like for the month of July, and gave me the chance to go get my nerd fix at the biggest place on Earth for that. The San Diego Comic Con.

Lemme tell ya, I'm a little biased, cuz I love this shit. But, if you have any sort of nerdiness coursing thru your veins, just waiting to be freed from geek purgatory, and you haven't hit Comic Con before, you're missing out. Shit is fun, funny, nerdy, awesome, stupid all rolled into a four day adventure.(I only went to 2 days, I'm not that bad).

This was my second time going, and I had a blasty blast. I don't partake in 16 sided dice or D&D kinda shit(not that there's anything wrong with that), but I do fancy myself as a small & particular collector of movie props, random toys, and some dope japanese import shit.....hmmm, yeah basically a total fucking nerd. Plus, Kevin Smith was there, and was doing his infamous live Q&A sesh's, which was just amazing. I can listen to that guy talk about anything, which he basically does, all day long. (I video'd that shit. I'll throw a Youtube up later.)

Anywho, I'm gonna quit while I still have some friends, and get on with the hi-lights. Pics!

Sgt. Slaughter is looking old, and that hat band is pretty fucked, but whatever, he could still kick my ass.


The Ark from Indiana Jones? Shit, was tempted to open it & melt some faces.


These Bart figures were custom painted and insane! Check the Bowie paint job on the bottom left! Yay!







Feelin' these.


This thing was amazing. Shit was spendy, but tempting.

Yeah, I realize there's potential for a bad slave Leia joke in here somewhere, but fuck it, when else are you gonna get to post up next to Jabba the Hutt?


Yeahhhhh Bender. If I could've have one wish at Comic Con, it would've been to be allowed to walk around drinking 40's with Bender all day. Sigh....one day.

Nuff said.


Awww, there's my lady with Optimus Prime movin' in on her.

Goddamn FrankenBerry. Oh, it was so good seeing him again. Like visiting a friend you haven't seen in years. Stay in touch Frankenberry.
