July 19, 2005 - Tuesday

I have returned from the MECCA!
Current mood: refreshed

I have spent the last 4 days (thrusday-sunday) in the holy land... SAN DIEGO! Comic Con to be more presice.



Spending the the week with my usuall posse, we packed up and headed down to the promise land, along with 20000 other people from around the world to celebrate GEEKDOME.

Thursday....Checked in, bought some merchandise, got to see the ADULT SWIM pitch panel (and possibly the coolest, most hatefull new show coming soon, MINORITEAM!) We then checked in to our hotel. ONLY DAY ONE!



FRIDAY!- Met BRUCE FUCKING CAMPBELL!!! Stood in line for an hour for his autograph, but now he and Sam Raimi have signed my EVIL DEAD dvd. SWEET!!!! Met JOHEN VASQUEZ (almost missed the other ADULT SWIM PANNEL, but the fates were with me this week, as i managed to get his autograph on my INVADER ZIM DVD and still got into the pannel) Got my AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE DVD signed by the creators. Perchased some Graphic Novels and a Chasing Amy poster. Got Jim Lee to sign my copy of BATMAN ALLSTARS and i got my Street Fighter comics signed by the artisist. Got some grub at IN and OUT and turned in for the night.

SATURDAY- Sat in one room ALL DAY (8 hours to be presice)

In this room i saw the following:

Charlize Theron pimp Aeon Flux

Kevin Smith Rant for an hour.

The cast of Firefly and Joss Weadon talk about Serinity

Kate Beckinsale talk about UNDERWORLD 2

Marke Steven Johnson show us what he's doing with GHOST RIDER

The cast of STEALTH (Jamie Foxx, Jessica Beil, and the guy from Sweet Home alabama) pimp their shit.

Peter Jackson Sent a video and 3 minutes of KING KONG, and i wet my pants at the TREX fight they showed. Then JACK BLACK, Naomi Watts and Adrian Brody came out and did Q and A.

THEN to cap off the night....at least on the panels, KEVIN SMITH came out and introduced the greastest band in the world..TENACIOUS D!!! who preceeded to ROCK THE FUCKING HOSE DOWN!!!!!!! In the sweetest set of music made by the hands of man.

I then went upstairs to watch the costume masqurade. Back at the hotel and caught some ZZZ.

SUNDAY- The day i did all of my main buying. I purcahsed a BATTLE ROYALE 1 and 2 dvd set. GODZILLA FINAL WARS Monster X figure, a HE MAN Bust (46/3500), The rest of JOHEN VASQUEZE's books, Back issues of various comics i needed, Battle Royale vol. 13, Godzilla Mogura figure. and a KEVIN SMITH Comic Con Exclusive figure. I took pics and left the land of milk and honey, a little sad, but much better for the time i had.

I met many people, i did many things, and for my 11 conceutive comic con in a row, it was probably one of the best i've been to.



July 2006 cannot get here any faster.

This was probably the best Con year I've ever had. The following years have been hard to match.
