Topic: #35 - Comic Con!
I hate when announcements go up, and then transparently try to get a conversation going. It always strikes me as patronizing.
But, seriously - got any fun Comic Con stories? What was your experience?

Re: #35 - Comic Con!
I was thinking of going this year, but then my trip to the US this summer fell apart. Damn you money!
Re: #35 - Comic Con!
I've been going since 2008. I won't be going this year because I'm saving up to go to Hong Kong for the Lantern Festival.
When I went last year, I basically decided to just go with the flow and sorta let things happen rather than go in with any sort of set schedule of "i'm going to hit this panel at this time." So, I was walking toward the convention center and I walked up to the Top Gear display they had on the sidewalk. Got a nifty lens cleaning cloth from them after filling out some form for a competition they were having that weekend. Didn't think anything of it afterwards, until I got a call from the Top Gear Producer the next morning telling me that I had won the contest and me and one other person could go to this party that Top Gear was hosting in one of the hotels near the convention center. My buddy and I went to the hotel and got to shake hands with Kate Beckinsale, she's tiny by the way. We go to the party, have a good time. When we leave the party towards the evening, we run into Fricking Mark Hamill!!
Now I've made it a point not to get star struck at these things, I mean these are human beings just like you and me. They all feel the urge to go to the bathroom every now and again. But this particular time, I got a little start struck. Mr. Hamill had his back to me and I simple said "Mr. Hamill?" He turns around and has a almost look of horror/confusion on his face. "Could my friend and I possibly get a picture with you sir?" "Oh, yeah sure that's not a problem." So we got pictures with Mr. Hamill. He even did the Joker laugh for us!

Re: #35 - Comic Con!
I've gone to the World Science Fiction Convention a half dozen times, which is always fun. No movie or TV stars, but lots of print authors and scientists getting their geek on. And, hey, they give out Hugo awards (what does ComicCon hand out?)
Re: #35 - Comic Con!
That actually sounds more appealing to me than SDCC. I'll have to check that World Science Fiction Convention out sometime...

I'd forgotten I'd ever been to a con but there was a small one near where I grew up and like Teague I met Kenny Baker and hit him with a door.

Poor guy. We're like Lennie. We just love him too hard.
Re: #35 - Comic Con!
I can think of one of my friends who would love that kinda thing. THe Scientist part sounds cool, but I don't like parities all that much...

Re: #35 - Comic Con!
Oh, I skip them too, but they're there if you want them. Often they're bribes to get you to vote for the next city to host Worldcon.
About the episode in question. At some point, Teague mentioned he was someplace where someone was shot, and Trey's request for more information was lost in yet another digression. So, what happened?

Re: #35 - Comic Con!
I'm skeptical. We have loads of video evidence suggesting that Trey does not own shoes.

No, no. He doesn't HAVE shoes. Obviously, he's a wereshoe.

Not sure if it's a shoe... Hoof?

Re: #35 - Comic Con!
looks more like one of those slippers you were before bed, or while wearing a smoking jacket. I bet Trey has a smoking jacket. 
Re: #35 - Comic Con!
wait... Trey dated a Brady?! That just makes the man even cooler.
