San Diego Comic Con
12 years ago
I'll admit I don't often write con journals, mostly cuz I don't trust myself to make my memories into something you'd be interested in reading. San Diego Comic Con was, by and large, a Great Big Blur this year, as it often is. I spent most of my time running around the convention, pushing CaliFur and InFurNation.com fliers into the paws of everyone I could. I get a lot more word out that way than sitting at the CaliFur table and waiting for people to come to me, I think. Might as well, since Sy and I got the CaliFur table yanked out from under us this year. I won't go into that headache here though.
A couple of actual memories stick with me though. Much of it is MLP:FIM related. Sy and I managed to get into the official My Little Pony fan event this time, which was awesome. All we had to do was get into line at 8:00 am for a 10:00 am event. [Once again, Comic Con put the event in a room less than half the size of what it needed to be for this crowd. Get with the program, people! I DO Programming! I can say that!] I also spent much of my free time (ha ha) running around the con and getting most of my IDW MLP:FIM comics signed by at least one of the artists or writers.
One thing that I found very neat: I wandered by the IDW table, and seated there showing off his new hardcover book collection was none other than Berke Breathed, creator of "Bloom County" and "Outland". Interestingly enough, he had no big line to see him -- I must have caught him at either the front end or tail end of his appearance. So I got a chance to chat it up with him for a few minutes uninterrupted. Awesome!
