Ignore any explosions that occur over the next few hours. I’m updating the site a bit.

[UPDATE] All done.

Dear lord, is that one crazy event. Every night, I’d go back to my hotel intending to write something and instead I’d just pass out. But now it’s over and I’m safely tucked away at SFO, en route back home, so I’ll catch up a bit.

First off, a shot back across Barnett’s bow. If you aren’t aware, he’s guest-blogging for TTH throughout the Con, so keep an eye on that. In his first entry, he attributes to me the description of SDCC as “the Geek Prom” and claims it’s a “harsh” take on the event.

Bollocks to that, I say.

Here’s why:

Quick question:

What’s everyone think about Twitter? Is it useful/interesting at all or just spam-tastic Web 2.0 gibberish?

If you use it, what are some feeds you like to watch?

I’ve got a 1 hour layover at SFO before I make my way into San Diego.  I’m beginning to get the sense that this event is larger than I initially suspected, because – as near as I can tell – EVERYONE in this airport is heading to the Con.  The departure board is just flight after flight into San Diego and there currently a multi-table dispute going on in the cafe behind me about whether or not it was appropriate to use “Ultimate” Nick Fury instead of “Classic” Nick Fury in the Iron Man movie.

Time to hop on beta and see if I can stir up some trouble.

This week’s trip to California takes us to the San Diego Comic Con. We’ll have our Traveling Booth of Love with us, so come line up to get your WAR on (queue early, queue often!). I’ll be about Thursday through Saturday (as well as on Wednesday for some sort of “preview night” something-or-other). Barnett will be there as well – mostly roaming the show floor trying to corner and fawn over Frank Miller, but also occasionally in the booth to pose for pictures, gesticulate wildly and spread joy to the masses.

There’s also some party that EA and Oni are co-sponsoring that I apparently have to go to on Friday. I have no clue what it will involve and/or how to get people into it, but if it were to be crashed (and I in no way condone such things) it would be swanky to have it crashed by a crowd of our Faithful.

What else?

Barnett’s talk is apparently on Saturday at 2:00 “somewhere” at the con.  Please come prepared to scream.

My current Nerd Goal is to get my hands on the con-exclusive Mousers that Neca is putting out. And to shake Sergio Aragonés’ hand.

That’s about it. See ya in San Diego!
