Last of the Comic-Con 2009 Pix Up

(click to see set)

Pushed the last of pictures from Con up tonight. Seems to be a lot of nerd interest out there, as I have never seen so many page views on my flickr stream.

My pictures from Comic-Con are up. I was surprised to see that some of them already have very high page views and I haven't mentioned it at all to anyone I know. I guess the people looking for Martina Sirtis pictures must be pretty desperate. :-)

Greetings From Comic-Con

So, here I sit at the Eureka panel at con. For once I got into a panel without getting into a huge line. Yesterday I waited in line for three hours and missed two panels (one of which was the Venture Brothers, sadly.). I did get to see the MST3K 20th anniversary panel and the Dr Horrible Sing-along Blog (Joss and the cast showed up).

The floor has been extra miserable the year: most every day has been like Saturday (except Saturday, ironically). I did get to see the Watchmen panel, which was really cool. They had a longer, darker trailer in which it is revealed that the pattern on Rorshach's mask moves. They also said there was not very much in the way of green screen. Dave Gibbons was there and he said he was really excited about the project, which I think bodes really well.

The BSG panel was cool, as was the previous panel for Joss Whedon's upcoming project: Dollhouse. I have seen a number of famous people, waited in interminable lines, been insanely tired all week, but generally been pretty happy when not despising all other humans. But generally it's been pretty cool this week, weather included. I will post more later when my thumbs recover.

Oh!!! I got to meet Randy Milholland, creator of the cool webcomic Something Positive!

So at long last, I finished editing my comic-con pictures. Whew! This is my first go at using Lightroom to process photos. Went pretty well, I think.

WonderCon

Last weekend Carl and Noelle and I went to WonderCon up in the City (it was at Moscone). Noelle was sweet enough to wheel me around most of the day since I'm still kinda gimpy. It's like Comic-Con lite, probably about a fifth the size of the San Diego Convention, but on the other hand, it was a lot easier to get around on the show floor. Got me some autographs, new trade paperbacks and dropped in on some of the panels. We missed the 300 panel, which was a bit disappointing, but it was a great day if one likes Ex Machina or Y: The Last Man (which I do), since I got to see Pia Guerra, Tony Harris, and Brian K. Vaughn (and get some autographs). We also saw Brian Posehn walking around the show floor (seen most recently on The Sarah Silverman show) which I thought was a bit strange at first, but he voiced Jim on Mission Hill, as well as some other cartoons, so I guess it makes sense. Overall I enjoyed the show a great deal. It's much cozier than Comic-Con SD, which can be quite overwhelming at times.
