--comic-con 2008--
Went to San Diego. Met a handful of comics folks. More importantly, I attended Spotlights on Tod Klein, Howard Chaykin, Kyle Baker, Jim Otaviani, and a panel that included Frank Cho, Michael Golden, and Mark Schultz. All of those panels/spotlights were a total blast and I genuinely wish that the entire convention could just be those. Out on the exhibit floor I met and/or talked to Jacen Burrows, Kent Williams, Brandon Peterson, Jason Alexander, Ryan Benjamin, David Finch, James Kolchaka, Rebecca Guay, Jim Otaviani, Zander Cannon (again), Philip Bond, Ben Templesmith, R.Black, the Penny Arcade folks, and a handful of Suicide Girls. The Suicide Girls booth was crammed with people and though I did not speak to all of the girls I saw, I did at least see Blaze, Sash, Desdemonia, Missy, James, Meow, Vivid, Coley, Antigone, Chloe, Rigel, Dice, AesSedai, and Nixon. I know there were a couple more, but I didn't know their names (and so to those individuals I apologize). I spent a limited amount of time there each day and tried, in vain, to win an Xbox 360. I would've loved to have the Watchmen one - all black with the bleeding smiley logo. So awesome. Maybe I'll put up the pic of me with some of the girls... It's a tiny bit blurry (I desperately need an auto-focus and/or wide-angle lens).
