Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Are you going to SD comic con?

Alex Polinsky = Matter-Eater Lad & Chlorophyll Kid! Wooooooo hooooo!

If you don't have your four-day pass already, fuggetaboutit .

Would any of you kind and generous souls going to the con be willing to pick up one of the exclusive action figure sets for me?

I'd like to get the Mattel JLU one that has The Ray and Hawkgirl in it.

I'd be more than happy to pay postage and a little extra for your effort.

Hey M-E lad Raventte and i will be there too. if anyone wants to get together drop me a message so we can work something out.

My girlfriend and I will be there, and our Legion 5YG Uniforms and our Lar and Laurel Gand Cargo/Military Style uniforms are about 95% done. Hoping to see other Legion Costumes!

I might have a little something (not a full costume) in the works if I can make it in time

Oh so I guess we should get a little more organized huh? There's two panels that stand out as particularly Legion friendly:
Thursday 7/26, 6:00-7:00pm in Room 6A
DC Group Therapy: Leagues, Legions, Societies, and Teens!

Friday 7/27, 4:15-5:45pm in Room 6B
Warner Bros. Animation: The Batman/Legion of Super-Heroes

Should we get an email chain going about who wants to meet when? During panels, creator signings, breaks, dinners, etc.? If you want to be on the email chain (or just want the results of the email chain once it's been decided) please send me a private message with your email address, Legion user name, and if you want to, real name.

In addition, there are a host of Legion and Legion-friendly creators that should be there. Here's who I've found so far:

Chris Batista
Adam Hughes
Dennis Calero
Eric Canete
Eric Wright
Bernard Chang
Phil Noto

I hope no one was planning on attending any of the panels or presentations from Twentieth Century Fox. Fox Pulls Films From Comic-Con

Wow. More than a little bit embarassing, there.

Oops.

is it more embarrssing for Fox, or for ComiCon, I wonder?

I did get Thursday and Friday off (finally got vacation!), so count mogli and I in any gatherings. I'm going to go to Preview Night as well after work.

Big favor to ask of one of those attending. Besides any little Legion items you can get your hands on could someone pick me up a set of First Day Covers for the Marvel postage stamps? They'll go real nice with the DC ones from last year. Just let me know price and shipping and I will generously reimburse you.

And now Saturday is out for you slackers who didn't pre-purchase.

Given that Fox said they pulled them becasue they weren't ready, that's totally on Fox.

Perhaps they should give Rupert Murdoch a special effects workstation and pay him piecework style for each usable frame of film produced.

So here I am in San Diego, and my supposed roommate has been incommunicado for the last couple weeks. I don't even know if he's going to show up. Anyone need a room? I'm at the Marriott Gaslamp, really close to the convention center.

Costume status:

Thursday my girlfriend and I will be dressed as Krypto & Streaky, and we will try to be at the Group Therapy DC Panel. If not, we're definitely going to be at the premiere of the Superman/Doomsday animated movie.

Friday she and I will be dressed in our Lar and Laurel Gand military/cargo style costumes. They should be very easily recognizable. Mine is basically red cargo pants, red cargo vest, blue castro style hat, blue backpack with yellow buttons on the straps. Hers is a cargo style dress, red from the waist up, blue the couple inches from the waist down.

Saturday we'll be doing our 5YL Superman & Demon Damsel concept costumes. Very easily recognizable if you know what the 5YL uniforms look like.

If you see us, say hello, take our pictures, and stroke my ego by telling me how awesome the costumes are (even if they suck. Though, I am especially proud of the handmade silver Legion Flight Rings).

Hope to see some other Legion fans there!!

DINNER. THURSDAY. Like maybe after 'DC Group Therapy' (which is 6-7pm) at 7:30/745pmish? Can anyone make it? I've vaguely touched base with L.E.G.I.O.N.John and Suddenly Seymour in the last week or so. If some folks are interested I'll try to make reservations somewhere big n' closer (Rock Bottom Brewery, Bucca di Beppo, or ?). Gary? OM? Wndola1 or Kryptaku?

Friday night might also work but I'm not sure if I have plans already with my brother - if I have dinner plans I might still be free after dinner.

Saturday night I can't make it personally...

I'm going to be going to Comic-Con saturday so hope to see some of you there.

I'm available Thursday and/or Friday. Saturday's out for me, too. I'm actually staying over Sunday night, too, if anyone else wants to hang out.

And I can't wait to see Krypto and Streaky on Thursday. Gotta bring my camera.

All my nights are pretty much already booked, so dinner is a no go :-(

Tonight, I'm going over to see the Superman/Doomsday premiere. Can't miss that! Tomorrow, most likely, I'm heading to the Eisner Awards, and Saturday, may already have dinner plans prior to the Masquerade.

As it turns out, we may only be in our Krypto and Streaky costumes for part of the day. It gets really hot in the Krypto costume because it's pretty much a full body sweater. So, if you see us early in the day, take a picture, because we may not have them on later.

Here in Edmonton, the free newspaper Metro mentions the Con opening, but makes a snide comment about being a mass of geekdom.

Says somebody working for a rag so lame they have to GIVE it away. Write in and tell 'em to smoke on THAT.

So here's who I've seen (and not necessarily talked to):
Outdoor Miner
Suddenly Seymour
Kryptaku in dog form from far away (he ran away from Outdoor and Seymour while I unsuccessfully went after LegionJ.O.H.N. after the Legion panel)
LegionJ.O.H.N (he asked a question at the panel but we failed to get his attention)
Nightcrawler and Mogli (jet setters that they are I didn't get a chance to talk)
Elvis Lad - I swear he looks like Elvis Lad but I'm not sure if it's him
