comic con

i went to comic con in san diego to perform the too much coffee man opera a month ago. it was a trip. the convention floor was, what, like a quarter mile by 100 yards? the scale of everything was pretty rad -- tens of thousands of people, gigantic sauron and voldemort, batman and chewbacca twice my height made of legos, and whatever the huge blue thing at the sci fi channel's booth was.

gosh were there some fun toys.

i was expecting more attendees in costume, but i got much pleasure from the homemade costumes -- anything made with a cardboard box as its base gets my vote.

some other highlights of the weekend...

• a skinny, cranky, aviator-bespectacled girl throwing rocks at joey outside the airport


• laughing blue gatorade out through my nose a half hour before go


• the man in the front row who brought his own cushion for the theatre chair


• celebrity sighting: danny bonaduce (avec wife) at starbucks and joss wheedon at the dark horse booth (alors, no jessica alba pour moi...)


• the almost dining at ch1ve and search for another restaurant fiasco


• my first in & out burger


• gorging myself on cas' pizza (and getting a shiner from hero during a game of tickle torture gone bad)
  
• swimming in the pacific
  
• walking through the people lined up to see us perform as we entered the theatre!
