The San Diego Comic Con Experience
This was my 6th Comic Con in the last 7 years and because of the line-up of comic panels, exhibitors, attendees, celebrities, I was more stoked than ever to be in attendance. Everyone should try to make it to one of these major comic shows at least once in their lifetime. Fortunately for me, I live relatively close to a couple of them so things have worked out in my favor.
This was the first year that I’ve decided to go for multiple days. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a hold of a 4-day pass, but I was able to get Saturday without being bent over and spanked by the secondary market prices for tickets. The worst part about the Con is the endless lines. There’s a line for EVERYTHING including taking a leak… and if you ate burritos the night before and have a bad case of Mud-butt, forget it! You might as well wear a diaper.
One of the best things about the Con are the costumed hotties and hotties in general. With each progressing year, more and more hotties are in attendance strutting their stuff. They love the attention and I love to bask in the aura of their beauty.
Here’s me with two hotties that I see every year at the WonderCon. They vary their costumes, but usually go as Supergirl and Wonder Woman.
This hottie was merely passing out flyers, but I was captivated, spellbound and awestruck by her beauty. I’m mostly attracted to Girl-next-door types and this babe epitomized that; the innocent look, the shy demeanor, the light eyes and brunette hair... If she said, “I’m yours!” I would have Married her on the spot. If anyone knows who she is, give her my email address.
This babe was just smokin’ hot! The outfit was good to boot. She wanted to pierce me with her Sai but I wanted to pierce her with my Disco Stick. “Giggity.”
The next day, I donned the garb of Morpheus from the Matrix. Since everyone continuously tells me that I look like Lawrence Fishburne (I don’t see it), I decided to dress up as a character he played. I tell ya, the attention that you get when you dress up is crazy! I felt like a celebrity. I dressed up for the first time at last year’s ComicCon and I’ve never felt or experienced anything like it. Everyone NEEDS to experience that feeling at least once in their lifetime. It does wonders for the ol’ ego and makes you feel on top of the world.
This is me with (I think) Psylocke. She was really cute and sweet.
Ah, to be the meat in a hottie sandwich. Catwoman was smokin’ and Slave Leia was a doll. The whole time I’m thinking “Threesome tonight!”
This chick REALLY turned me on. She was wearing a Robin outfit for day 1 and Wonder Woman for day 2. Either way, she just had 'that something' that drove me crazy: she was cute, bubbly, smelled like a stripper.
Even in the Daytime, the Gas Lamp District is hot and poppin.
We went to grab some lunch at Subway and just happened to end up kickin' it with these hotties.
On the way to Subway, a white truck with Olivia Munn's Playboy cover shot rolled up. It just so happened that they were GIVING AWAY popsicles AND Olivia's Playboy magazine. Too bad she didn't get naked in the spread, but hey! Free is Free!
The best part was they had two scrumptious hottie Playboy Playmates signing the books and they allowed us to take photos with them. I love the Asian hottie. She's adorable! I would have taken her home but my fiance would have kicked my ass.
Along with the costumed hotties, we were privileged to meet a few Celebrities during the show. What reeked of futility was standing in line for a third of the time at the show for those damn Green Lantern figures. (Still looking for the RED one) My friend and I were distraught because we missed out on so many other exclusives and opportunities from waiting in endless lines. We missed out photo opportunities for G4’s Olivia Munn, Eliza Dushku, WWE’s Shane “the Hurricane” Helms and Ted DiBiase among many others. The day after, we were kicking ourselves. Still, I at least salvaged the time there by meeting a few celebrities:
While we didn’t get the lovely Olivia Munn, we did get Alison Haislip. She was fun, bubbly, full of personality and a joy to meet.
I saw a big dude wandering around that looked familiar so I caught up with him and what do you know? It was Chad Gaspard from Cryme Time. Money money! Yeah yeah! He was cool, but was out of character. I shot that catchphrase at him and he wasn’t going for it. Dude is TALL. VERY FEW people make me look short.
I didn’t know who this babe was until I read her poster. I just thought she was some random, hot Asian chick. Her name is Candace Kita. She was in a few movies and shows here and there. The best ego trip was HER asking to take a picture with ME! I was flattered… and those beautiful, round mammaries of heaven… Oh yeah! I just wanted to dive in her cleavage and dribble like an infant.
Non from Superman II, Jack O’Halloran. This is another guy that made me look small. I see him every year at various shows and apparently his health is deteriorating. He’s having back problems, but was still cool enough to stand up and take a picture with me for FREE.
This babe is slated to be the new Elvira. I forgot what her name was because I was too busy staring down her delicious cleavage. Breasts are such a beautiful thing.
The ORIGINAL Hulk, Lou Ferigno. Can you hear the theme music playing? He was at least cool enough to smile while I took his photo. There are quite a few celebrities that won’t even look at the camera unless you’re pulling our your wallet. *coughHonkeyTonkMan*cough*
Michael Hogan aka Colonel Tigh from Battlestar Galactica. The BSG guys were the ULTIMATE in cool! Too bad the LUST of my life, Kandayse McClure wasn’t in attendance. I LOVE that woman! I got to talk to Edward James Olmos too. Funny thing was, my friend and I accidentally cut in front of a few hundred people. We were trying to take his picture and he said, “You’re just gonna take a photo and not say hello?” He shook my hand and spoke to me for a few moments. I bet the people waiting in line were ticked. Oh well. Sucks to be them. Maybe they should dress up next time so they’ll be recognized.
The WB booth sucked because they wouldn’t give a definitive time when they would pass out the Green Lantern rings. They would give the mindless drone dribble and say, “…Later…” when you inquired about the rings. When I came back “later” they were OUT! I had to beg one of the reps at the booth for theirs and was fortunate to get just the one. At any rate, the Lion’s share of the cast of V was in attendance. On hand was the beautiful Morena Baccrain. I’ve been lusting for her every since Firefly. Oh, the things I would do to that woman with my tongue. I don’t know why she cut her hair. In the original Mini-series, Jane Badler who played Diana had long hair. Oh well…
I'm sure all Comic geeks know who this guy is. Thanks to a certain someone getting me in early with an exhibitor's badge, I was able to roam around before the General holders and take a quick snapshot with Rob Liefield.
Because I was afraid of having all of my figures stolen, I kept them in the car, but I kind of regret it. I had no idea Geoff Johns was signing that day. Damn!
At the end of the day, we felt like a completely drained power ring. We had no energy left. After all the walking around in uncomfortable shoes, the endless lines, being shouted at by bitchy Graphitti employees, getting kicked out by a man-loathing misandrist and being herded around like cattle, we were beyond beat. I’ve never felt so worn down after a Con before. I’m certainly not a young puppy anymore. This worn down Spidey is how I felt at the end of the show. Still, I had a blast and the event as a whole was truly an experience to cherish. If things fall into place and the planets correctly align again, I hope to be in attendance next year… perhaps this time as Blade.
For the record, Twillight DID ruin ComicCon. I'll never understand the fascination.
