We got Blog Lazy. Having good times though.

So it's saturday now. Yesterday was our big day at Comic Con and needless to say it was awesome and I really hope we get to come back next year. Hopefully for more days too, the one day really just made things too busy to try and get done what you wanted to get done, especially where you're lost around the convention center for most of the time. The first thing we did, and more or less I mean me and Val since we barely saw ed all day for some reason, was go see Batman: The Brave and the Bold Panel at 10AM with Deidrich Bader from the Drew Carey Show. They showed a new episode which was pretty hilarious and pretty silly as it is a childrens show. And then the panel talked for a bit and took questions. The real highlight was Bader (THe Deids!) talking about how during voicing one episode he began crying in the studio. He said, without giving too much away, that in the episode Batman gets some closure and he put his head down and started crying and was said "This means a lot to Bruce." Seriously, this was a great start to our Comic Con endeavor. After that we walked around, found Ed for a few, then lost him again. We found Hall H so we could see the Disney panel with Pixar and Miyazaki among other great animators only to find that the line for this hall was about as populated as the Coachella festival or Ozzfest or something. So we turned around and met Ed at the same hall as Batman to see Robert Rodriguez BE AWESOME.

He was there promoting his new family film Shortz which no one really showed up to see that movie, but just be in the room with a Legend like Rodriguez was pretty awesome. I tried to get a picture of him, or with him, but it didn't work out. However, out of nowhere Danny Trejo came out and hugged him and said "Hey man, I gotta go." and i got a sort of picture of him. Then Ed was sticking around that room for the DC booth that would be going on next, and me and Val got in line for Dollhouse about an hour early because that was the only way to get in. On the way to the extensive line that started outside and ran the length of the building and then inside and ran back down the length of the building, we found Danny Trejo in walking in front of us. Which was hilarious and we followed him all the way to the line we were getting in. Danny is hilarious because the two people he was with (Wife and Son? Daughter and her boyfriend?) were incredibly well dressed, and Danny was wearing a giant white shirt and denim shorts and high as hell white socks. Either way, Awesome.
I also think that we were close to the last people who did make it in. Ed, however, did not make it in. Which was sad. But he got tied up in buying his awesome exclusive action figure. And me and Val got to be confused by the never before seen Dollhouse season finale that is being released on the DVD and BluRay. The problem is I don't think me or Val had seen the 12th episode and therefore the 13th episode was a real mindfuck. Then people started asking questions about Dollhouse and 90% of them were silly as hell questions. They were either too involved with the Tech or too involved with asking inane 'what if' questions. One person asked Eliza Dushku, if she were on Firefly what position would she play? She said to ask Joss and Joss said 'Missionary'. Someone else asked if the device used in Dollhouse could be used with people in vegetative states and prolong their life, or something and it was extremely in depth. Joss just raised his eyebrow, "You're Hired!" Then they brought on the geek tech guy Topher on the show and the beautiful Asian girl from the show, and i think i mostly just stared up at the screen at her. And then was confused when Topher spoke with a silly accent.

This ended at about 6. So we went back down to the booths and Val wanted art supplies and soon enough it was announced that there was only 30 minutes before the booths closed. They closed at 7, we spent a half hour looking for Ed where he said he would be, then headed toward art supplies with 30 minutes left, and at this point i was like VAL, I'LL BE OVER THERE. It got intense looking for good purchases, my favorite booth, which i finished up at some 5 minutes before the thing ended, was Oni Press who publishes the Scott Pilgrim books, and i spent like 60 bucks there on awesomeness including a Scott Pilgrim T-shirt.

After not finding ed at the booths we told him we would meet him at Rifftrax Live in room 6DE and we did meet up with him at that line. However the line wrapped around from the etrance of the room to the Exit of that part of the building...and kept wrapping. We said fuck that. and headed down the Green Shuttle Bus which would take us to the Courtyard Marriott where we are staying. Please remember at this point, we're exhausted and Val's hip is aparently in some pain. We rode this bus all the way to the end of its route, only to find out that it wasn't the same Courtyard Marriott we were staying at. So we wondered the strange land of San Diego for a little while and then just caught a shuttle bus back. On this bus, Val started crying. It was sad...and awkward...for me. Yup.

So we got off the bus and just took a trolly back as we probably should have in the first place however when we were waiting for the bus the trolly crowd looked like the Hall H crowd i talked about before. So we said fuck that and got ourselves lost instead. But we made it home, and i read some comics and then passed the fuck out.

Oh did i mention i got a free poster and bought the miniseries of a comic called "HELEN KILLER!" Well i did, and i'm proud of myself. Today we gotta pack up again and head to Vegas and hit up some "Elegant Night Life Filled With Beautiful Women With Horrendous Daddy Issues"

Til then,
