I look forward to seeing the results of scientists activating The Doomsday Machine. Big Bang Theory be damned, I just hope it opens up a wormhole to another dimension! Or kills planets. Or can be used to defeat the Borg. You know, whatever.

Obviously I like a lot of weird things, but today I want to be a huge dork and talk about an anime that I’m currently watching and absolutely love: Code Geass.

Season 2 is drawing to a close, while season 1 has been domestically released and is now airing on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim block of shows. Or so I’ve read, because I don’t watch dubs.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is a show that starts out about one thing, and then gets really wacky and becomes about betrayal, politics, war, and killing various family members.

This show has everything! Mechs, political intrigue, magic powers, really attractive noodle-people, and a dude so FAAAAAABULOUS he’s not even a whole number!

That last part will make sense if you watch the show, I swear.

Honestly, I hate feeling like I’m part of a bandwagon fandom. But I’ve come to realize that the reason a lot of these shows become so popular is because there is a lot to like about them! Just look at Gurren Lagann, the fandom has exploded (and is still exploding) and yet I am exploding right along with them because the show is fantastic. It’s the same thing with Code Geass, which I started watching on a whim several months ago and finished the first season within a few days.

I know it’s hard to believe, but I guess the reason stuff becomes popular is because it’s actually good.

But you know what’s NOT good? The show “Fringe.” Some new J.J. Abrams thing that premiered last night on Fox. Not only did it start out on a plane just like LOST, I swear it had the same soundtrack. Not to mention its shameless and blatant desire to be a modern version of one of my favorite shows of all time.

That’s right, J.J., I’ve already seen this show. It was called The X-Files.

I fear for the new Star Trek movie coming out next year, that J.J. Abrams is directing. Mr. Abrams was quoting as saying that he’s more of a Star Wars fan. My fandom weeps.

And then there was Cloverfield. That was two hours of my life I can never get back.

Damn, I wish I didn’t love LOST so much.

So, my goal here is to write all the informative (and asinine) things I think about on a weekly basis. Sounds easy enough.

First off, my name is Cristi. I’ve been a huge nerd for as long as I can remember, and have been a con-hopper and costumer since the summer before I turned 14. It all started with Star Trek cons and tiny local comic cons, and then in 1999 it evolved when I attended Otakon in Baltimore for the first time. After that, I hit between 4 and 7 anime cons per year, plus Dragon*Con and the occasional Wizard World, etc.

The rest is history. I enjoy everything from Firefly to Ghost Hunters. Catwoman to Chastity. Slayers to Code Geass. Pretty much everything that has ever been good in the world, and even Star Trek: Enterprise, which I know is questionable.

But we’re not here to talk about me, though I am quite an expert in that subject.

I think I will start my first entry talking about something I happen to know a lot about: Cosplay.

The origin of cosplay has been debated for several years. We all know that a Japanese man came up with the word, itself. Just an Engrish amalgamation of the words “costume” and “play.” But I argue that we came up with the concept of costuming and reenacting right here in America. Look at the Renaissance folks, and the Civil War re-creators. I once heard a story that during World War II our Superman comics made their way overseas, and the Japanese were inspired to create their own comics after seeing ours. Well, I don’t care one way or another about that. I don’t even know if it’s true. But it’s definitely plausible, and makes me wonder if the very manga and anime we love now came from Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s creation?

The first Star Trek convention was held around 1972, by a group of like-minded fans who rented out a ballroom with their own money. They had a costume contest even then. So all I’m saying is that while the act of costuming is only now coming more to the surface of popular culture (i.e. Jay Leno sending a correspondent to San Diego Comic Con to interview costumers) it has existed since before I was even a twinkle in my mom’s eye. Where it came from isn’t even that important, but what about where it’s going?

What about cosplay showing up in today’s media? Does it make those of us who participate look like weirdos, or does showing its popularity make it seem more acceptable? I find that cosplay in the media is a double-edged sword. After all, “mainstream” doesn’t necessarily have to be a dirty word. I can get my anime now at Best Buy, or online the very next day after it airs in Japan. Back in the day, I was paying $30 for a 4-episode crappy bootleg fansub at the local comic con, or ordering fansubs online that had to be *gasp* MAILED to me! So mainstream works for me in that way, because I benefit from it. But mainstream costuming? Suddenly everyone thinks they should go to school for fashion design, or thinks they are a model. While I think that’s great and everyone should do what they want in life, the hobby does seem to be getting a bit inundated with it. I used to say, “The more the merrier!” but as the con attendees keep getting younger and I keep getting older, I’m not so sure.

I guess I have more complex thoughts on the subject, but I don’t want to start sounding like a cosplay grandma. That does tend to happen. “BACK IN MY DAY ALL OUR COSTUMES WERE MADE OF TRASH BAGS AND CHEWING GUM!”

To change gears for a second, a female DJ on the local rock station where I live was making fun of Dragon*Con today. Somehow she found out about it, and started making really obnoxious jokes about nerds reading from books all about dragons. While I don’t take myself seriously at all (cosplay is NOT serious business), I was prompted to write to her. I called her out on her attitude, and explained how friendly, talented, and straight up awesome the people who go to Dragon*Con are. She wrote back and explained to me that she thinks of herself as a bit of a nerd and was only making fun because you’re allowed to “make jokes about your own kind.” She told me to let her know the next time there’s a con, so I linked her to Baltimore Comic Con. In return, she gave me free tickets to see The Black Crowes. Right on!

Anyway, it does make me wonder. Was she serious? Is she just going to show up at the con with her microphone and belittle the attendees? I really hope not, because I’ll feel somewhat responsible. I think I’ll try for some healthy optimism, and hope that she really is a geek and will go experience the con for herself. Maybe she’ll see we’re not all creeps living in our parents’ basement. I hate stereotypes, and I am living proof that they are wrong.

So what does everyone think?

Greetings, Free-Roaming Vapours!

I’m feeling a bit under the weather right now, so this installment won’t be very big.  But, I do wanna share with you a severe injustice that’s being done to the geek community right now (you may already be aware of it):

Activision has decided not to put out the new Ghostbusters video game that was scheduled to be released in October.

As you probably know already, Dan Aykroyd has been trying to get a third round of the GB franchise going for a long time.  Last year, he was finally able to put his plans into action – but instead of making a third film, it was decided to tell the story through a different medium…

A video game.

The result is an amazing-looking game that finally gives fans what they’ve wanted for so long – Ghostbusters 3.  That’s right, it’s and all new story written by Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, and features the return of all four of the original actors to voice their film counterparts.  Also coming back are William Atherton and Annie Potts - the original actors for EPA jerk Walter Peck and mousy secretary Janine Melnitz, respectively.

The screen shots and promo videos really demonstrate who great this game looks.  Combine that with the fact that every single one of us (except for you, Party McPooperstein) wants the opportunity to throw a proton beam at some ex-lifers, and you got yourself a highly-anticipated game…

…except the fact that when I went to pre-order it last weekend I found out it was taken off of Activision’s release list.

Jerks.

Now, not to worry.  After doing some digging, it appears that the game hasn’t been canceled.  It’s just that Activision is a big, stoopid doo-doo head.  Meanwhile, Aykroyd and the developers themselves are still shopping around for a new distributor.  From what I’ve learned, it looks like the game may be postponed until next year to coincide with the 25^th anniversary of the original movie.  And that may end up working in the game’s favor.  So, just hang in there.  We’ll get our GB game.

In the meantime, just remember – if someone asks you if you’re a god, you say “yes”!

The Don tried to think of the most harmless thing.  The giant, angry ham sandwich is his fault.

Greetings, Galaxy Rangers!

Not a very big installment this week, as I am swamped with various bits of creative endeavors that need to be attended to. But… I don’t want to leave you all with emptiness and solitude. It’s so… empty and solitude-like. And there’s no pie there.

For those of you who are going to Dragon*Con this weekend – have fun! Come back in one piece, and get me Nathon Fillion’s autograph.

Okay, you don’t really have to.

So, where was I? Oh yes – this week’s column. Well, I haven’t had the chance to do much this week worth writing about, but I did manage to play one sweeeeet little demo on my PS3:

I’m talking about the demo for the upcoming Star Wars game The Force Unleashed.

Now, before you start groaning and rolling your eyes in that George Lucas raped my childhood kinda way, hear me out. Say what you will about special editions, prequels, and CG animated movies sans the 20^th Century Fox logo. This demo alone made me forget about all that. I was too busy throwing stormtroopers around with the Force.

I’m not going to go into a full review, at least not until I get to play the full game. Instead, I’m going to offer up a short list of things that made me giggle with excitement while I played the demo.

Yeah, so I giggled. So what?

List of Things I Loved About The Force Unleashed Demo:

- Smooth and amazing graphics.

- Great orchestral score, some from the films, some brand new.

- Taking out stupid Imp droids! Gonk droid is enjoying his sandwich made of pure not-functioning.

- Breaking the windows of the Star Destroyer and letting the vacuum of space suck my enemies out for me. Bye, guys! Hope you don’t mind the opposite of breathing.

- I took out a dude by throwing a TIE Fighter at him with the Force! Booyah!

- The Force is crazy!

- No good guy heroics this time. I’m all SITH, baby!

- Infusing my lightsaber with Force lightning ensures my enemies suffer a death reaction to lightning and being sliced in half.

- All grabbing your trooper buddy does is give you company when I Force lift you and drop you into the no-bottoms below.

- I split that AT-ST up the middle like there was candy inside!

Based on all the fun I had with the demo, I can’t wait until release day to get the full game. It’s been awhile since I’ve been this excited about Star Wars, and I wanna jump in head first before that feeling wears off. Who knows when it will come back again? So, hurry up and get here, mid-September! I wanna start trashing bozos now!

*sigh*

Fine, I’ll step forward so that I may see…

The Don was once a Jedi Knight, the same as your father. Wait, who are you again?

Greetings, Dream Warriors!

First off, I want to take a moment to celebrate my 20^th article with Spwug!

Okay, moment over.

Now, if memory serves, I believe I said last week that I would do something resembling a con report for my trip to Horrorfind last weekend.

You asked for it.

This year, instead of being at the Hunt Valley Inn in Baltimore, the festivities were moved to the UMUC Marriott Inn and Conference Center in Adelphi, Maryland.  This would prove to be the con’s undoing over the weekend.

“Why?” you ask, in what has become a regular staple of our time together.

To put it bluntly, I was severely disappointed.

Let me break it down for you:

One of the things that didn’t quite hit me immediately when we got there, but which began to permeate through me as the weekend wore on, is that the atmosphere didn’t seem right.  One of the things I loved about Horrorfind at the Hunt Valley Inn was that everywhere you went, there were decorations, costumes, tables set up to peddle wares of dark design – all of these  constant reminders that one was forehead-deep in the middle of all that is horror.  The Hunt Valley Inn was small and cozy enough that you couldn’t turn anywhere without soaking in the ambiance.  It was everywhere - from the autograph room brimming with celebrities of the horror genre, to movie screens showing a fine mixture of cheesy and horrifying fright fests, to the dealers’ room that spilled out into the halls with curiosities and items of novelty that put the Hallowe’en displays in Spencer’s to shame.  There was even a haunted house set up within one of the hotel rooms that put your typical spook houses to shame.  You could wrap the convention around you like a blanket, and it was warm with delicious evil.

Sadly, the Conference Center in Adelphi was missing all of that.  It was a much larger building, so all of the different events were spread out considerably.  The halls were rather large, stark and cold.  No decorations other than the tape and skulls used to direct unsuspecting attendees to their tickets of disappointment.  There were a couple of tables placed out in the halls here and there, but it was a non-existent attempt at a sinister décor.  The movie screens were shoved out of the way and hidden into side rooms, and the dealers’ room seemed like a pale reflection of itself.  Once littered with treasures and prizes of the macabre, now the tables seemed uninteresting.  I barely bought anything the entire weekend.

That’s probably a good thing, as the other problem with the convention this year was that a good number of the guests this year jacked their prices up enough to make you wallet shriek in agony.  I ended up only getting pictures and autographs from Roddy Piper (John Carpenter’s They Live), Chris Sarandon (The Princess Bride, Fright Night), and Michael Biehn (The Terminator, Aliens, Tombstone).  That was pretty much all I could afford, as each one of them charged $25 for an autograph, plus an extra $25 to have your picture taken with them (in Piper’s case, it was only an extra $10).  This was quite a mark-up from the standard 15 – 20 bucks for both.  Now, it turns out that almost all of the regular staples of Horrorfind (Ken Foree, Dee Wallace, Sid Haig) kept their prices reasonable.  Problem is, I had already gotten all of them at previous cons.

So, I sucked it up as I blew about $135 on three celebs, noting that the lines for each of them varied from very short to non-existent.  This was a complete 180 from past conventions, when all of the big guests would have lines with at least an hour-long wait.

Sucks about them gas prices, hunh guys?

The only saving grace for the entire weekend was the time I spent hanging out with the Darkstone Entertainment folks.  You know, the independent film company who made a movie not too long ago that I got to be a zombie in?  I pretty much spent the entire weekend at their table, helping them promote stuff, picking their brains, and providing a sound board for film ideas.  It was a blast getting to hang out with them all weekend.

Of course, the best part was getting to watch the premiere of Skeleton Key 3, the movie I had the privilege to be a part of.  For two hours I sat with a good-sized crowd as we laughed and applauded a fun and crazy new entry in John Johnson’s SK series.  It was quite surreal to see myself in blue make-up, trying to eat brains on the big screen.

So yeah… my Horrorfind experience for this year.  Not the pinnacle of fun.  Again, if it wasn’t for the enjoyment I had with the Darkstone crew, this past weekend would have been a total bust.  I may have seriously considered not going back.  I’ve certainly decided that I’m not bothering with autographs next year if the prices continue to be that high.  As it stands, I plan on returning next year, if only to pimp with the D once again.  If my audition with them this Sunday goes well, I may become a permanent fixture.

Oh yeah, I suppose I should show you pictures.  I mean, they’re only worth $25 each ($10 in Piper’s case).  May as well make good use of them:

We’re here to kick ass and chew gum.  And I’m all out of money.

My father’s final words were, “Charge him $50 for a picture and an autograph.”

There’s no fate but what you make.  And it costs $50.

 
I leave you now on a high note:  the Friday of the con, my friend Dan took me to this really cool retro toy shop in Ellicott City, Maryland called All Time Toys.  This place was awesome!  It was like my entire childhood was on display for me to behold!  All the classic toys I grew up with – Transformers, G.I. Joe, Star Wars, The Real Ghostbusters, He-Man, Visionaries, and more – were there to be purchased.  Some toys were loose, some in their original packaging.  All of them were reasonably priced.  It was amazing!  This guy had everything!  And what he didn’t have at the store, he had in storage and could get it for you.  He told us that he had enough stock, collected over several years, to fill a K-Mart.  He also had this on display:

And he had just sold it for $5K!

Man, I would love to have my own Han Solo in carbonite.  Maybe I can afford one the next time I stop by there if I stop spending money on celebrities.

The Don is alive… and in perfect inebriation.

Guh, it’s almost the end of a brutal Monday. I wish it was still Saturday night.

Because I went to 32-Bit Genocide, a video game music festival held annually in Baltimore! It was a blast! And to think it’s in this blogger’s hometown too! Cover bands like Year 200X stole the show for me personally, with heavy anthems of Journey to Silius, Lifeforce, the NES version of Ducktales (you read that correct, DUCKTALES.) and a Contra medley to finish it off. Cheap Dinosaurs was a one man digital melee, ripping the sound samples from a Gameboy cartridge to mix beats on the fly in a drum-and-bass-y style. Very, very cool performance, and about the most unique.

Other acts like The Megas, Ultraball & This Place Is Haunted brought more of the kind of gamer-meets-indy-rocker vibe that makes these shows so interesting. During those times, I was in the gallery hall to sample works by 2-D artists and craftmakers. The music acts got to graffiti the facing wall, while pretty much everyone with a working shoulder and chunk of chalk did their best. I got in the act too, dropping plenty of signature shooting game fanart. Oh yeah; Ironing bead art to the stars. You too, could have owned your very own Skull Castle.

Gotta say though, while not my cup of tea, The Protomen (one of the headline bands of the evening) impressed the heck out of me. They played hits from Queen, Kenny Loggins, a nice shift from the game-centric sound. Moreover, their stage presence, the way they handled rowdy crowds — by joining in the heady chaos(!), dealing with bum equipment; the Protomen just had a level of class that was really impressive, and one of the real highlights of the night.

In all, I had a great time — it helps that my raiding party consisted of webcomic artists, game industry heads and Mr. Magfest himself. Speaking of which, Magfest strikes at the start of 2009, so I’ll be covering that too! It’s not everyday one can plug into some Mike Tyson’s Punch Out or throw on Lifeforce (Konami Code & all) while the crowd is jumping to to a cover of The Legend of Zelda.

By all means, follow the links, find a show and enjoy!

Wow.  It’s been awfully quiet around here in Spwugland.

*looks to the left*

Hmmm.  I suppose I wouldn’t feel good about myself if I just left you guys in a lurch on a Thursday, sitting about and twiddling thumbs, or whatever you have available to twiddle.

Be nice.

Well, I can’t offer much this week, but the least I can do is leave you something so that you aren’t bored.  The reason for my lack of time and space (dude, I’m a cosmic being!) is that I am currently getting ready for a convention this weekend.  In fact, it’s one of the cons that I really look forward to every year:

 
Horrorfind Weekend in Adelphi, Maryland.

 
You guessed it (always a bright one, you are), Horrorfind is a horror-themed convention,  and it is a blast.  It’s like going to visit Hallowe’en a couple of months before he comes to visit you!  It’s such a magical place - with beer carts being pushed around all weekend long so that you may never thirst, horror flicks playing non-stop on movie screens outside and in, celebrities from your favorite horror flicks and shows, and a dealers’ room loaded with cool horror novelties, films and decorations.

And this year will be even cooler!  Remember that movie shoot I posted about a couple of months ago?  The one where I dressed up as a giant smurf zombie?

That’s right – it premieres this weekend at the convention!  I finally get to see my efforts on the big… screen… in front of all those…

*ulp*

Okay, I think I need to lie down for a minute.  In the meantime, I leave you with this:

Tune in next week, as I post something that may or may not resemble an attempt at a con report.

The Don ain’t afraid of no ghost.  He is, however, afraid of having vegetables thrown at him.

Greetings, Freejacks!

Apologies ahead of time.  This installment will be shorter than you are used to.  See, I’ve had—

Hey!

Quit cheering.  It’s rude.

Anyway, my plate has been extremely full lately.  Between my hours changing at my job, my parents coming for a surprise visit this weekend, and having to put extra hours in on my web comic “The Draconia Chronicles”, I barely have time to sit and chat with you fine people.

Why are you laughing, now?

So, I wanted to share with you an exquisite little British show that just came out on DVD here in the US that anyone who can declare themselves a true geek should fancy.

I’m talking about “Spaced”.

Anyone who loved Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz should love this show as well.  Four of the lovable Brits who are responsible for the movies above are also responsible for this instant classic of a show – Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, Nick Frost, and Jessica Hynes (née Stevenson).

The plot is simple – Simon and Jessica play Tim and Daisy (respectively).  Both of them recently became in need of a place to live.  After a chance meeting in a diner, they decide – despite not really knowing each other – to pose as a couple in order to meet the criteria necessary for a cheap flat (that’s what they call apartments in the UK) that has just become available in the classifieds.  The series, which only lasted two seasons, follows their lives as they deal with the crazy and surreal situations that keep popping up episode after episode.

What makes this show a must for the geek crowd is the fact that it’s filled with geek moments and references to a lot of the pop culture you and I squee over endlessly (okay, maybe just me).  In fact, one episode is directly responsible for the creation of Shaun of the Dead.  And at just under $30, it’s one of the more reasonably-priced British imports we’ve seen in some time.

“Spaced” is an awesome series, one that will make you laugh constantly.  At the very least, you’ll be pointing at every other moment in each episode, saying “Holy crap! That’s awesome!”

Or you may suddenly find yourself in a random, slow-motion shootout using your hands as guns.

 The Don doesn’t think dogs can look up either.  Let the aerial attacks begin.

Ever been within inches of a passing semi truck on a busy freeway, whipping past at 70 mph? Even in your car, you get thrown around like a leaf? Yeah, that was SDCC for the remainder of the weekend.

While I’d love to share pics, I’m still on borrowed time — my flight back home departs TODAY, thus I can write to you all, but I have roughly 500 pictures to sort, weed out and organize into a functional blog. In the meantime, let me tell you all — California rolled out the red carpet, and I had THE BEST — excuse me, *ahem* THE BEST time at a convention since the Blizzard of 2003 during Katsucon. That’s no small feat.

This was geek Mecca. Direct your prayers of Dr. Horrible and new episodes of Eureka just south of the setting sun, folks. While no show is perfect, and Murphy’s Laws prevail, I will say that the positives of the experience far, FAR outweigh the negatives. In other words, don’t feel bad. Everyone else is broke too.

So, in the meantime (while I’m 30,000 in the air for several hours) here’s my take on:  FIVE THINGS I LEARNED FROM SDCC.

(1): No one in their right mind should ever move an event or convention from San Diego. It’s PRIME real estate. I’m not the man behind the wheel, so there’s no telling what the future holds — but I will say that San Diego embraced the convention with open arms, and there was PLENTY to do and see beyond the convention walls. Go to lunch at the Tin Fish restaurant. Get around on the trolleys. Check out the best damned reuben ever at The Field.  Speaking of fields, the Padres play at Petco Park right up the street (say what you like about the Padres.)  Even the train station is a photo op waiting to happen!

(2): Your Mileage May Vary.  And oh, did I rack up a few.  Now, you can actually stop and get a breather throughout a good portion of the con, you just have to be… creative about it.  And not have any hangups about sitting on cold floors, corners of huge displays or just around the corner of an artist table.

(3): You have to be extra special, determined or crazy (or maybe a heady combination of the three) to actually get the Rare Collectable Merchandise Given Out Only At The Con Wherein You Must Stand In Line For Several Hours For The CHANCE To Get It.

(4): Besides, there are scores of people hired just to hand out free flyers.  Save the earth, collect them all!  I bet you could fill a phone book with all the mini posters, cards, flyers, and extra bits.

(5): Some personal tips to share with you all:

-Bring a camera, and break a bank book on batteries.

-When you’re done packing, open your bags again, take out half the stuff you packed.  You’re not going to need it.

-Say “yes” to whatever absurd means it takes to get there, short of risk to person or possessions.  This place is worth it.

-Water.

-Plan ahead.  There is for even the regular attendees, four whole days worth of events to attend and people to see, things to buy (or have a conniption over whether TO buy) and while you CAN do it all in a day, if you’re around for the whole thing, space it out.  Get some rest.  Eat hearty.  Because TONIGHT WE DINE IN — *ahem*

I’ll be back with photos, folks!  Sorry for the delay, but right now it’s time for me to say goodbye to perpetually sunny San Diego!

(Oh yeah, and there was an earthquake yesterday.  Most bizarre damned thing I’ve ever experienced.)

Otherwise known as the first day of the convention!

Hey readers, coming to you live from after the convention!  It’s 2am, Thursday morning of SDCC, and ALREADY it looks to be a phenomenal event.  The best of comics, animation, illustration, video games and more are front & center in sunny San Diego for — and I’m really avoiding hyperbole here — an epic, auspicious event for all of geekdom.

[0] San Diego itself deserves mention for being an absolutely BEAUTIFUL piece of real estate.  I’ve been to many, many conventions; this one is loooong on looks.   Also — and bear in mind this was the exception, not the rule — most of the registration lines were very quick and despite the sheer scale of it, for a pre-registered guest, the wait never exceeded an hour’s time.  Most of the convention center staff; much less the staff for SDCC itself seemed pretty open and receptive.  If there was a place to be, they’d point it out.  If there was somewhere someone wasn’t authorized to go to, it was handled quickly and fairly.  Kudos to San Diego for making the show a true EVENT.

[1] Did you know, I have an entry in the Street Fighter Tribute artbook by Udon Comics & Capcom?  Please ignore the shameless self-promotion, and pay attention to an encyclopedic, 320 page monster of an artbook, with nearly EVERY notable artist in the world today — from Udon’s inner circle, to most online artists, to even the likes of Jorge Gutierrez (El Tigre!)  Simply marvelous!

[2] It’s telling that the video game creators man one of the main entries to the convention floor.  Capcom, Square/Enix, Konami, Activision, Sony, Microsoft, all within spitting distance of each other, and it isn’t until you’ve plowed through the first five or so minutes of people that you reach the television and animation venues.  Just an interesting note — by all means, there are enough people to really, REALLY fill in  the space.

[3] There is no number 3.

[4] This will be a day-to-day update affair.   I’m VERY excited to upload and post pictures for you all to see!  This is more or less one of the great geek Mecca of the world, so it’s not just one minor day’s post worth of material.   I’ll be back tomorrow night with more on SDCC!  If there’s any questions you all want to ask, I’m all ears!
