I havent the slightest clue about what the hell this thing may be. BUT i thought it was damn cool. This may be why mom and mr mccahill hate the idea of me wanting to ride a bike. 
This here was pretty amazing too. You should have seen the toes on him!
This man here, is the new found hero. I even scored a bobble head looking thing of him.
ok for reals. i have never ever been to comic con and never did i in this life time think i would ever go to comic con. its just not my cup of tea...so...i thought.
seriously...i thought that comic con would be filled with a bunch of nerds....NERDS! i mean the type of people that have thick glasses with condensation building on them, pocket protectors in their lift titty shirt pocket, fowl breath and the like. boy was i freaking wrong. ok, not completely. there were tons of nerds in there, but there were also normal people. ha. normal, what the hell is that these days? needless to say, there was a huge array of folks from little kids, teenagers, middle age folk and even the elderly. i kid you not. people are nuts over comics and what they are all about.
i'll be honest with you, the only comics i read as a kid was peanuts and garfield...if that. my reading material for comics was what came in the sunday newspaper. i never was really into comics at all. i have never heard of dc comics, aspen comics, dark horse comics or anything else until wednesday night. daniel is a HUGE comic fan, but we never really talk about comics...cause it really never was my cup of tea. i think he has tried to ween me into it, by introducing some comic based movies to me, but it never really worked i guess..only a few of them i liked. sin city..will never have a spot for me. i think a lot of it is because i dont appreciate comics for what they are. dan..on the other hand...does....he sees what they developed from...and what they have developed into on the screen..which i think is amazing.
the preview of the spirit was good...i'm not so sure if i will like it when it comes out this christmas or not. it does have some big actors in it and definitely some gorgeous ones...like the producer/director said...it totally covers every man's fantasy of women...and it sure does. too bad it cant be like that for women huh? maybe i'd be more into it. eh, we'll see when christmas rolls around if i get hooked or not. there's hope for me dan...
so walking throughout the ENTIRE convention center i came across or rather, i stumbled upon people's words and impressions of what comic con is about and what they were thinking. at the garment area of comic con...a fellow mentioned that it was 'the ghetto of comic-con.' a little boy outside of the convention center thinks there will be a 'star wars 2 1/2.' an older woman in the midst of the craziness said 'my god its a human zoo in here.'
this is what i was thinking...holy fucking shit, i feel like i am being herded like cattle in here. this place is fucking crazy. all kinds of people dressed up in all kinds of costumes...not quite sure if they are comic based, hollywood based or what? at one point in time, i seen a man dressed in a speedo with a spear....and i thought...what in the fuck are you supposed to be? and damn, i kinda wanna take a photo with him - cause he's really odd dressed and it takes BALLS folks to dress in nothing but a speedo at the convention center with thousands of people to see what you're made of. but i will admit, some people wearing costumes went all out and it totally showed..and they were like stars out there on the floor. truly amazing how much time some of these people put into this convention. i think the most amazing part of it all, was the age range of the artist. i really wasnt sure what to expect of these different artists, but i sure wasnt expecting old ass people to be drawing iron man or the incredible hulk. i'm not sure what i imagined their artists to be.
but anyway, we will be back at it again today sometime. stay tuned for more photos and my thoughts of this nerdy convention that has gone mainstream!
