Those costumes look excellent

You certainly seem like you had a good time at the Con.

Well looks I am the first one back from the Con, despite that little snafu with the luggage I had an awesome time overall.

All the panels I went to were fantastic, Popeye, Billy and Mandy, Foster's, 24, Futurama, The Film Guys and Cartoon Voices 2 all had me in stitches as it was great to see these massively creative people just cutting loose and having fun while interacting with their fans.

Worst Cartoons Ever was another highlight, just trying to describe how bad these cartoons were to people I know, was almost as fun as watching them.

Due to time constraints I didn't get as many autographs as I would have liked, just Craig's, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbit were the only ones I got. Oh well there is always next time.

As for stuff to take home, I didn't get as much stuff as I wanted to get.
I wanted to buy so much stuff, but thanks to the whole lack of luggage thing I had to be cautious. But I still managed to get that really swanky sketchbook, t-shirt and patch combo at Craig and Lauren's booth (All of which were not Foster's or Powerpuff Girls or even MilkyWay and the Galaxy Girls related btw, They were some very nice sketches that Craig did in his spare time.) The Film Crew, Vol 1 DVD: Hollywood After Dark, The complete series of Excel Saga on DVD, a DVD movie called Contour done by an independent film company called "The Stunt People" (Whom obviously did their own stunts.) and what ever free trinkets I picked up here and there and could fit in my bag.

So all in all it was fun time for me, and I hope to do it all again sometime in the near future.

We got home a little while ago, after YET MORE car trouble (Triple-A had to come give us a whole new battery...I think maybe the hotel valet people let my battery run down because it was completely useless). Unfortunately it looks like I will likely be trashing the Mac head as I have no place to keep it.

Oh well, I'm already scheming my costume for next year.

Yeah, I heard something about more car problems. It sucks to hear that you're likely getting rid of the Mac head, but if one doesn't have the room, well -- you gotta do what you gotta do. I look forward to next year's Comic-Con.

Edit: Rid and I left San Diego just after 10 AM, and we arrived after 11:30 AM.

Until I get the 2007 Comic-Con pictures up on the site, here are a couple things Craig and Lauren did for me:

I asked them to sign my underwear, lol

For some reason Craig says I'm the first person to ever ask him to draw Terrence for them...

(Sorry for the watermark but I don't want anyone using that image anywhere)

One Radical Dude · 07-30-2007, 10:02 PM

Heh heh, I didn't see the signed underwear.

I know I saw the Terrence sketch. Totally awesome that you're the first one to ask for one.

Sparky · 07-30-2007, 10:08 PM

Okay, I don't recall if he said I actually was the first, but that it was definitely an unusual request. Don't mean to spread misinformation.

By the way, I do have a few leftover "I (heart) FB" boxer shorts, in various sizes...unsigned of course. I dunno if anyone wants them, if not maybe I'll give them away at the next con or something.

... which I subsequently commented that even I haven't been so bad to ask for my PPG boxers to be signed.

Ha! Awesome!

I got home about 90 minutes ago with no major problems. Despite all the food I shovelled down my throat, including two Big Macs at the San Diego airport, I only gained 1.5 pounds. Guess all that walking to and from the Con and the numerous trips to Ralph's burned off a lot of calories.

Ah, what a grand time I had! It was great meeting everyone, both from the Forum and from CN. The whole thing was quite an unforgettable adventure from start to finish and I'm almost certain I'll want to do it again next year.
