I hadn't been on a vacation since August 07, so I was ever so happy to attend Comic Con this year! Comic Con is like Disneyland for geeks -- I didn't want to even think about work or doing any kind of project. I just wanted to wander around for 3 days and gawk at comics, costumes, chicks, celebs, and cinema. I did just that, and had a fantastic time! Yeah, I stood in line a lot, but the overall experience was just fun, fun, and more fun.
I ducked out of the convention melee on Saturday morning to do a racing yacht cruise, so truly it was a magnificent vacation. When I got back to the exibition hall on Saturday night, it had turned into a battle of commercial EXCESS!!! Seems any major company with a few bucks on hand went out and hired some models/actors and put them in costumes to show the company's wares. Then the TV/cinema folk trotted out their stars hike up DVD sales. Heh---it was disgustingly crass commercialism, and I loved it. I wandered around and followed the big crowds then they made noise.
Here are some pics of my jolly trip. Like Paris said, "Comic Con is hot."

You should have stopped by the Cake booth (that's the one WAY in the back ...)
