Anybody else going to the big comic book convention? I leave for San Diego in the morning. It's my first time so I have no idea what to expect.
Five days with a bunch of geeked out mouth breathers, no doubt.

At least I have this bitchin hotel to look forward to.

I will rock in your place have a safe trip

As a geeky mouth-breather myself, I think cons are terrific fun.

Have a good time!

Me too.

My boyfriend keeps calling me a geek and looking at me funny.

I like to be right up front on the rail.....edge of the mosh pit.

WillyWonka said:

LOL. Thanks.

Will there be a mosh pit?

I would go if I were there! I love cons!

Some of it sounds cool. Not so sure about standing in line all the time.
The bf is a total He-Man fan so that will be the main focus.

pearle said:

I hope you have a good time - wear comfy shoes!

pearle said:

oooh, that does suck.

applekisses said:

Will do.

Thanks.

evenstar3 said:

No shit, eh?

pearle said:

Good heavens, no! Far too much danger of being impaled by a stray pen from somebody's pocket protector.

Find yourself a nice pickup game of some sort instead, as did these two con-goers:



I absolutely love this photo because it encompasses so much about a convention: geeks, in Star Trek costume and setting (complete with Tribbles), sitting down and playing chess, at - what technically is - a big party.

You're going to have a good time, pearle, I can almost guarantee that. If you're open to it, there really is an amazing array of wonderful things to see and do at a large convention such as Comic-Con.

applekisses said:

For sure the comfortable shoes; also, wash your hands often so as to help ward off contracting Con Crud/The Blorch!

what is that furry thing on top of the microwave?

Tribbles

ZombieKitten said:

Tribbles are trouble, Charlotte. Stay away from them.

WillyWonka said:

The trouble of tribbles

Oh, yeah, that's a big thing in San Diego ...Never been to one, but have seen footage from a few. Looks like it could be a blast ...

WillyWonka said:

I wish I could go!!!! My friends go every year. I've always wanted to go. I heard they're having a booth for Emily Strange that's supposed to be good this year. A co-worker of mine and his wife are going. They are supposed to give me a holla to let me know what merch they have so I can place my order.

Have a blast!

Mach said:

Tribbles....that has to be like my most favorite episode ever!

Jeez, I might just fit in there.

pearle said:

What are those...toupees?

Byron said:

pearle said:
