Jeyl's Glorious Comic Con Adventure!™
Well, my first Comic Con is over, and wow. What an awesome convention! Way bigger than animazement. Let's see what I can dig up here.
Travelling to the eFX area and... THE SHOTGUN!
Omg, omg, omg, omg. Mr. Booth person who I am ashamed to have forgotten you name, would you take a snap shot of me holding the gun?
SEQUEL!
Thank you very kindly sir for not only letting me hold the Shotgun, but also taking pictures as well.
Oh, these two? I saw a painting of these two once.... somewhere miles below the Earth's surface.
Also found this G.I. Joe Iron Grenadier wielding what appears to be a belt fed Smart Gun from ALIENS. Weird.
I knew there was a reason I brought my Womanthology book along!
GALE SIMONE!
One of the best folks at the event. You know how some celebrities take issue with signing multiple items? Gale has no such issues. One guy brought in six different issues from six different series and she signed them all. And when my turn came up, she not only signed my Womanthology book, she drew a little doodle of herself as well! So cute!
Also went and visited the La-La Land booth and saw their amazing array of soundtrack releases, including others that were long out of print. Just look at this Star Trek: The Motion Picture CDs lined up! Mmm. Colors. There's more colors in this one photo than there was in the whole darn movie.
Saw this as well. If you ordered one directly at comic con, it came with an exclusive poster designed by the artist who's doing the individual art for each movie included. I really liked the look of the poster and was surprised that on the third day 30 minutes before closing they still had quite a bit of posters remaining.
I even found what I believe to be Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's best action figure to date.
I was even graced to meet Syd Mead after spending a solid hour outside in the blazing sun. He was so generous with his autographs by not only signing the Sulaco print, but also anything else you brought along with ya. Even though I gave my Blade Runner badge to Charles, I have zero regrets. I'm so going to hang the picture he signed for me.
Also, Art Andrews. Here is your new Avatar.
