Here's what they handed out on my flight:

These arrived in a plastic tray with a blue-and-white wrapping labelled "Snack Pack". Thank you, Delta. 8D

Ccook50 08-02-2007 08:16 AM

That's it, all right. The second time around they pass out Sun Chips.

Imaginary Light 08-02-2007 08:20 AM

Wow, um...that's quite a meal.

Cassini90125 08-02-2007 08:34 AM

In the 1st class section they got a package listed as "meal". I have no idea what was in it. Later in the flight we got Sun Chips, too. Both courses had a choice of beverages, mostly carbonated. For $5.00 you could get booze, although not enough to take your mind off the fact that you're 30,000+ feet above the ground. :P

Ccook50 08-02-2007 09:47 AM

Not mention swerving around cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds over Texas.

Cassini90125 08-02-2007 10:23 AM

We hit turbulance once during the trip home, but I can't say I thought it was any big deal. It felt like driving over an area of shallow potholes, nothing more. Could probably have been far worse, I suspect. :P

Medikor 08-02-2007 10:48 AM

Part of the reason why I don't like to travel is because I have a real fear of getting on an airplane. I'm sure the payoff is worth it, but I doubt the other passengers would appreciate me freaking out the whole time.8D

Sparky 08-02-2007 11:30 AM

Worst thing about the Con being over is I'm allergic to Sacramento. :'( I was fine down in SD but I've had terrible allergies since we came home. How wrong it is to have to live someplace where you have allergies. -_- Especially when you've seen what its like to *not* have them.

One Radical Dude 08-02-2007 11:32 AM

Eeek. I do not look forward to Tuesday night/Wednesday AM, because my allergies act up more where I live, too. :wiltshock:

Ridureyu 08-02-2007 11:47 AM

I think I got sick with something. It's minor, but my throat's been bothering me since yesterday.

WHO WAS THE GERM CARRIER? Was it part of the Fosters staff?

Sparky 08-02-2007 11:59 AM

I had a sore throat Wednesday and Thursday, but I honestly think it was due to having to talk loudly in the convention hall on Wednesday, and it went away. (To be safe I took an Airborne every morning.) Right now I'm positive all I have now is allergies, so I really don't think I passed any germs to anyone..

I blame those little monster toys. :D

Cassini90125 08-02-2007 12:49 PM

No illness or allergies here. However, I have decided that I hate this town and I wanna go back to the Marriott. 8D

narfcake 08-02-2007 01:50 PM

No sickness here either ... though all it would've taken was that 1 in 120,000+ to carry some germs to have passed it on.

That avatar is absolutely evil of you, Chris.

taranchula 08-02-2007 01:53 PM

Yeah, I think the sore throats are just a side effect of having to talk really loudly over the general noise produced by 20,000 people.

Sparky 08-02-2007 04:52 PM

Well I've got some photos (and a link to a vid CG made) up on my site:

Here

(Didn't anyone take any photos of me out of costume? :P)

pitbulllady 08-02-2007 06:36 PM

A broken-down dark green Toyota RAV-4...now WHY does that look so familiar to me? My first thought was, literally, HOW the heck did a picture of MY car wind up on Sparky's website, with the battery dead, no less? That's just too weird, given that my virtually-identical RAV-4 had a dead battery(thanks to me leaving the headlights on in the driveway for four hours while waiting for a thunderstorm to pass) at roughly the same time.

Sparky 08-02-2007 07:40 PM

*cue creepy music*

That pic was when they were replacing the brake pads, on the 25th. The battery died on the day we left the hotel, the 30th - the valet guys at the hotel gave us a jump and claimed the battery would recharge itself as we drove but when we stopped for gas about 2 1/2 hours later the battery was thoroughly dead and I had to get AAA out there. Seriously, I think the valet guys left the headlights on in the garage or something. They should have just owned up. Whatever.

Sorry! Though I took a lot of pictures, alas, it was mostly for people we don't know.

(This for Friday, then for Rob Paulsen fans on Saturday, then Maurice LaMarche and Jess Harnell fans on Sunday.)

I must say, I was seriously lacking in getting autographs this year too. Ah well.

As for the valet ... that sucks. Highly unlikely they'd ever own up, though. Good reason why I self park (though the sign says full, they had spaces back there); the last time I pulled into valet parking, I had to self park my car anyways. Apparently, the guy didn't know how to drive stick.

cartman414 08-03-2007 07:49 AM

Eeeeek. Now those are some horror stories. Hope none of you were late in getting back to your regular lives/obligations/etc.

And here I was feeling bummed about missing Sunday, when the VAs I wanted to see started showing up. Things can always get worse.

Yes, isn't it? :D

Nem 08-09-2007 06:36 PM

I hope I am not breaking any rules by posting this D:!

Anyways, it'll probably be removed but that is okay, if it is I will ask my friend who uploaded it to youtube to upload it to megaupload or something :x

Anyways, my friend took this video and uploaded it for me, and I thought I'd share it with you all =)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zu2i0TDSzM - And the question and answer part (not all of it though, but some of it).

Enjoy =)

Sparky 08-09-2007 08:29 PM

Your friend certainly wasn't the only one who recorded panels against Comic-Con's wishes. I won't take down the links or forbid them, but I was enough of a Girl Scout to not break the rules myself and record anything surreptitiously. Mr H would be proud of me. :herriman:

One Radical Dude 08-09-2007 08:29 PM

Actually, I wouldn't recommend posting the former (or keep it up for long), because we would increase the risk of the organizers of the convention to put a stop to such events (such as this panel) or add more restrictions. I know you're not the only one to do that, though. I'm just saying, though. :P I think the latter is fine (I was told by one that they only crack down on the videos of people showing the footage of video previews, though I've heard none should be recorded at all -- kinda confusing). Ridureyu did record the entire panel, minus the video of the preview.

Sparky 08-09-2007 08:40 PM

Yeah ORD is right, they allowed taping at panels where no footage was going to be shown. It would be too hard for them to enforce people taping a panel *except* for any exclusive footage. But I am one of the guilty ones at last year's Con where that's exactly what the case was (it said right in the booklet, you may tape anything but images on a screen) - not only did I post the panel minus the sneak peek at Bus the Two of Us to Google Video, but I posted the sneak peek footage separately directly on fosters-home.com. So...it's because of people like me that they cracked down in the first place. :P You all have my apologies for that.

Nem 08-09-2007 09:07 PM

Ahhh okay coolies, I'll remove the one that shows the preview for the new episode. I don't want anyone getting into trouble XD

I can put it back up if you want, but for now I'll just leave it down. Besides, the episode will be shown soon enough =D

One Radical Dude 08-09-2007 11:23 PM

Here's a link to the one used with my camcorder, and the quality should be better. I used XviD for encoding; and while I like the results, I wish the file size would be a little smaller. I think you need something that uses MPEG-4 to view the video. Let me know, if anyone has problems viewing the video.

Sparky 08-10-2007 02:36 PM

I'm downloading it; if other people have problems viewing it I can probably convert it to something easier.

(AFAIK mpeg-4 is like a podcast, and iTunes for one will work to view it.)

edit: We're experiencing constant interruption of internet service here, so I'm unable to dl this for now.

edit #2: I got it, but I thought you meant it was a vid of the panel, not of the conversation between you and Keith. My bad.

cartman414 08-10-2007 08:25 PM

I'll just hold off until the premiere before seeing that footage again. Won't be long.

Certainly wasn't that hard last year waiting for "Bus the Two of Us" to premiere, and that was one of the best episodes yet.

floppynoodleson666 08-10-2007 09:38 PM

sorry to ask, but when are the new episodes?

I believe someone mentioned it being sometime in September, but don't quote me on this, as I could be wrong =P

At the Foster's event we were told September, but we weren't given a specific date. Hopefully it'll be close to the 1st. :)

ptps 08-11-2007 08:08 PM

I caught the question panel (which was too muffled to make anything out except Keith's "I'M NOT HIS SIDEKICK!!" XD) and the preview of Season5 on youtube. omg, I can't wait for the rest of Season 5, that power ranger parody was just hilarious. XD
