EVENTS: Thoughts on Comic-Con
Some thoughts of spending a day at Comic-Con (as seen in these lovely photos), courtesy of our writer Lincoln Chinnery:
11 AM- SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS! Look at that line. Thank goodness I don't have to stand on it...What's with all the black suits? Did Marvel put out a Johnny Cash comic? Don't tell me Will Smith got it in his head to do a MiB 3? I's rather watch my sister give my uncle a lap dance than sit through another Big Willie Smith Meagcrap movie..Wait a tic! It the line for the Job Fair. Never have I been happier to have a job.
12:20 PM OMG! I shook hands with the man who helped pay my rent in the 90's
comic book artist Rob Liefeld from Image. I wasn't a fan of his work but I
bought and sold it like it was IBM Stock. I would buy a brick (a block of 20
comics) on Weds. and by Sunday I was selling everything at 15 dollars a pop.
Greed was good!
3PM Sweet Christmas in Nantucket! I'm in the same room with Stan 'The Man '
Lee. If you're not a geek and you're reading this I can draw you an
analogy...It's like being a Yankee fan and meet Micky Mantle...not now! I mean
back then. There is more security around this man than the Pope! I didn't think
thay made people that huge.
3:15 PM Some kid ask Stan Lee for his autograph...This doesn't know it but
he may have started an avalance. (The crowd pulls out pens and paper like they
own stock in Bic and Weyerhaeuser.) Stan signs two pieces of paper and announces
to the crowd. "That's all I'm signing." He doesn't yell, he calmly states it and
we obey. Over hundred people standing there with the gllem of the hope of a Stan
Lee signature is douced in a second and is replaced with the satisfaction that
Stan Lee ackonwledges us. WOW! I met Stan Lee!
4:42 PM As heard at the DC signing Booth-- "Dude, do you think they have
free buttons? I love free buttons!" I make fun of uber geeks like this all the
time but that's cause I am one as well....just not for buttons.
6 PM Feeling tired. I'm noticing a trend with the geeks with girlfriends at
Comic Con...they are all busty. I haven't seen a flat chested chic in the
place.I guess reading Wonder Woman and She Hulk leaves an impression on your
emotional and sexual template. This explains my last three girlfriends and my
current one.
7:42 PM Going home to sleep...and to dream.
