my first-ever comic-con. wow, it was overwhelming. and i am noway as big of a nerd as i thought i was. totally out-nerded all over the place. why? because i’m not really a comics person. at least, not on the level of the folks there. i’ll pick up a comic, er, graphic novel once in a while. but i don’t know the creators, illustrators, writers, etc. i know nothing.
but it was still fun. quentin tarantino’s security people pushed me out of the way as he came through, so i followed them and got some great shots of him, rose mcgowan, robert roderiguez, rosario dawson, and a couple of others whose names i can’t remember.
i ran into the lovely eve. no, i didn’t get into the session i was trying for. i was only 20 away from the door when they shut down. and because of some asshole hecklers behind us, they shut the doors to where we couldn’t even see the screen. but i DID get to see kevin smith. worth the wait. oh, and they gave away hats at the end and i got a spidey 3 hat. cool.
i should have pics up sometime this week. hoping for tomorrow, but i have to charge the camera batteries and do some homework before i leave for blogher later this week. so the pic conversion may just have to wait. we’ll see.
there was so much to see and do at comic-con. it is so huge now. if i go next year, i’ll do things a little differently. now i know what NOT to do. like get there at almost noon and wait in line in the hot sun. ugh. but i think i got some great pics and it was fun. but it’s a lot of walking and standing. whew!
