(Last night of Comic-Con, 7.25.09)
The trip itself was only tangenitally about comics and the convention. Mostly it was relaxing, eating food and hanging out with friends I rarely get to see. Folks who live in different cities, different states, folks I see mainly online. This was the week we all got to hang out, share in loads of nerd jokes, chow down on steak and tapas and persian cuisine while complaining about Green Lantern and telling each other, using our best Story Voices, the various dramas of the day.
We found ourselves at huge dinners, several clubs, hotel bars, and the place where this disco ball spun, a party supporting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. DJs, booze, dancing, free Paul Pope posters, dudes mashing up videos & music, and two comic book artists doing live painting. Good music, good-looking women, what more does one need?
