long day
san diego comic con working at the stargate booth. nikita was working with a couple other girls shaving heads and spraying the atlantis symbol into their heads. today nobody went for a full on shave. almost got a girl to give up her locks but nikita yelled at me for being overly flirty. i truly felt like el diablo no you would look so pretty with those curly locks shorn off and a dumbassed stencil sprayed onto your scalp. you long locks will at least go to a good home on some cancer kid. but alas my skills were thwarted. anyways. got some cool shit a few seasons of sg1 on dvd.
awesome observation of the day it took me 10 minutes of waiting in line to get into a stall to drop off some stuff. it took me absolutely no time at all to wash my hands cause i was the only washing my hands at the faucets. no joke i cant make this shit up.
when i was a kid i loved the comic con it was the most glorious thing to go to. me and my dork friends would get up retarded early and figure out precisely what comics must be signed. load up board the trolley and head down town. wait forever to get our tickets and go through the experience. the last one i went to was in 95. when nikita and i moved back down here we went again had a great time. this year it sold out. make no mistake it was no more packed than previous years it was just being enforced by the fire marshals this year. this being said for some reason i seem to remember the cons of my youth much less crowded. today was a sunday and it seemed as busy as i remember the friday and saturdays. i also remember the sunday that i went was way less busy. this was also the sunday that i got to meet kevin smith and watched the screening for mallrats. the ticket was a result of daily begging for the sold out tickets until the staff got tired of seeing my scrawny fanboy face at the miramax booth.
it seems like this year there were far more movie companies than used to be there. before i go any further i must explain. before the usual suspects were there troma, miramax and a bunch of fucking indy companies. thats miramax back when it was still a indy company. now there were a ton of major companies out this weekend. saw a cool trailer for the beowulf movie i have to say it looks pretty impressive. heath ledger as the joker should be interesting. standing next to a giant polar bear in shiny armor only makes me want one more and those funky 20 era sci fi ray guns by weta look like they are worth the 600+ they cost. definite fan boy hard on for those i could have bought a miniature one for 60 bucks but why bother. coolest thing were the yoda and chewbaca back packs epecially yoday since it's dagoba style and i'm a dork. disturbing sight a baby in princess leia slave gear.
and just my opinion
young ladies + anime costumes = kinda hawt and ok
young men + anime costumes (i'm talking to you naruto dorks)= :| anda ps. aftershave does not make up for rampant post pubescent hormones and a strong urge not to take showers. it's like spraying lysol and not flushing. this being said it still smelled better than norwescon there i said it.
