Walk this way:
I think I need a vacation to recover from my vacation.
As I mentioned, I went to the San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend. Since I only went for two days this time, I had to cram 4 days worth of fun into those two days, which I discovered is really difficult but totally doable if you have some willing friends and a whole lot of alcohol.
One of the highlights of this year's con for me was meeting Wil, who has got to be one of the nicest people on the planet. I gave him a copy of the one and only issue #00 of Bedhead Press Comics, and showed him the one-page story that's about the sketch comedy show that he was in. I also picked up a copy of his book, which I will review as soon as I read it. Of course, I have a shitload of reading material because I spent a hundred bucks or so on new comics, but his book is on the top of the stack, right after I finish reading my Linux Journal.
The rest of the weekend was a whirlwind of alcohol, comics, and walking. Oh, so much walking. The con space was expanded yet again this year, and so there was about 40,000 square feet of stuff to look at. My calves hate me right now, because my choice of footwear leaned towards cute instead of functional, and walking around a 40,000 square foot convention center for two days in a row in shoes that are not very supportive will make your feet and legs feel like Tony Soprano took a crowbar to them. When I wasn't endlessly walking, I was either giving my hard-earned cashmoneys to some comic book creator or hanging out with my homies drinking Lou Ferrigno's weight in liquor. Fun times!
I think I need a nap.
