Photos.

Heya, here's my San Diego Comic-Con 2007 Flickr set.

Enjoy. I'm not a photographer.

This is probably my favorite shot.

I'm realizing now that I shot a lot of Star Wars shots, which wasn't wholly intentional. I think it's because most of the Star Wars costumes belonged to a select group of cosplayers that realized that they needed to cover their shame.

Seriously. The fishnet stocking market must have gone through the roof last week.

Crisis on Infinite Cons

So, I'm burning through the first wave of con reporting, and it looks like I went to a different con than everyone else.

First off, we had a blast. Face-hurty hilarious fun. Great trip.

I got some pictures, which are awful. I'll get them on Flickr tonight.

I will try to rip through as many panels and things I got into as I can before I get tired of it. The whole weekend was nuts. Also, I lost six pounds.

I'm really tired, but glad to be back within hugging range of the wife and kids. Hugs 'r gud.

More later, fear not.

Oh, right.

San Diego Comic-Con is this week.

Wait. You mean it's tomorrow?

Uhhh. Maybe I should get ready.

And then Captain America opens a Gelato stand...

This is pretty nuts. I consciously avoid superhero comics, but I have been digging the heck out of (Marvel Comics executive editor) Tom Brevoort's blog.

This was fascinating:

The original pitch for Marvel's Civil War.

Also recommended are his series of "Comics I Screwed Up" posts.

DING DING!

GO RYAN!

Ryan Hamilton's Last Comic Standing Audition

Oh my brain.

SDCC has released their programming schedule:

I'm frantically beginning the process of cloning myself. There's no way I'm going to get to everything I want to see.

I'm getting tired just thinking about it.

Of Note:

In another lifetime, I was in a comedy troupe at Ricks College. We were called the Whigs. I performed for a semester, I think. Then I met a girl and my comedy career promptly ended.

Ryan Hamilton was in that troupe with me, I think he joined at the same time I did. We auditioned together. Impressions: very nice guy, super fun to improv with, and extremely funny. I probably haven't spoken to him in 13 years.

Here's Ryan now:



He'll be on Last Comic Standing on NBC, Wednesday July 11.

Break a leg.

I can't complain.

I won't deny things are difficult. But things slowly improve.

For example: my son has grown a full set of eight magnificent teeth. If you could only see the sheer unadulterated joy on his face when he bites someone, you'd plainly see life is packed with brilliance and beauty.

When you've got teeth that you can use to bite people, what do you have to complain about, really?

Life is fantastic. Go bite somebody.
