My son and I will likely be there all day Saturday.I don't know for sure that I'll be there, but it's more likely than my going to any other con, at least. (Say, did we ever formally brand that as LW Picture of the Year for 2008?  )
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

If I do anything this summer, late August looks like the best time... but if I'm not in Alberta in early August, WorldCon in Montreal might be tempting (Aug 6-10), as I know at least one non-LW friend will be there.
I'm a little comic-conned out right now, myself. Worldcon is more general SF... but even a non-con meet-up could be a lot of fun. We've done some in the past (Vegas, Niagara, and small gatherings).
A while back we talked about a camping/cabin gathering. Does late August look good for anyone else? I'd love to get together with folks this summer, if people are interested. Heading up into the mountains might be a cool way to bring the westerners together. Though I'm not planning on attending the San Diego con per se, if a bunch of people are going and are planning a dinner on Saturday, let me know. I'd love to drive down for the evening.

cool! Sierras or NorCal could be a lot of fun. Yosemite looks a little too touristy. How about up in Redwoods territory?

Whoa. Stumptown is only a week or so away (4/18-19/09). It always catches me by surprise. I always try to go at least one day, since several of my buddies have exhibits/tables there. Let me know if there's a chance that I might see any LMB-types there, too.
Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on DeviantArt! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*

Just a reminder if anyone's interested, HeroesCon in Charlotte NC, June 19-21. DC and Marvel are actually going to have setups there. That may not be much for you NY or SDCC guys, but for us in the South it's like getting color TV all over again.
Long Live all them Legions!

Alas, a trip this year to San Diego is not in the financial cards, even the credit type. Would someone please, please, please be able to pick up the Wonder Twins and Gleek for me? I'd be ever so appreciative.

I'd be ever so appreciative. I can try! (I'm going to comic-con free of charge, woo!) But I'm going to need very specific instructions because I pretty much fail otherwise. >< IN OTHER NEWS... Anyone going to be in the Bay Area in two weeks? Because there is a Blackest Night Party in San Francisco on July 18th!! And Geoff Johns is going to be there!! And I really want to go, but I'm feeling kind of shy to go by myself. (I know, me? Shy? Go figure.) So, if anyone is interested, let me know!!

No idea. I'm sort of juggling things and, honestly, this time around I just wanna hang loose and maybe catch a few things here and there. I refuse to stress myself out.

My cousin works for Universal, so he can get me a ticket free and another cousin lives in Carlsbad, so I can stay there for free.  I'm still working out the details but yeah! Pretty stoked.

I'd be ever so appreciative. Thanks so much! I'm so dying to get this pack, and Gleek won't be available anywhere but the con. Mattel is going to have two booths, one for display and one for selling things. The Twins will be at the retail one. They should be there Wednesday through Sunday, but the earlier the better, of course, in case they sell out. The eBay scalpers will be especially on top of this one, I think. Squee! I hope you all have a blast! I'll miss you!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since the last San Diego Comic Con. Good times...

Yeah. That was a blast!
I don't know that I've mentioned it except in the shoutbox, but I'm in Boston for a week for my cousin's wedding. I'm getting together with Quis and some other friends on Tuesday night (July 21st). If anyone else is in the area and would like to join us, please PM me and I'll give you the details.
