Comic Con 2007: Not All Geeks...

Look like this:









But the few who did made Friday afternoon at Comic Con a simply delightful place to be (and almost made up for the hour and a half spent looking for parking in the one-way construction zone that is the Gaslamp District of downtown San Diego).

Of course most looked like this:




























And then there was this one chick, who the comic nerds were drooling over, but I found her whole outfit somewhat disturbing:











Of course there were celebs: that guy from Stargate Atlantis, the shorter one from Supernatural; ST: TNG's Geordie and Deanna (too much Botox my dear); BSG's Chief/Cylon; and the ever present (at these type of things) Green Cross Code Man, aka the man who first played Vader, amongst others.

No official Joss meeting this year either (not even a post bathroom meeting like last year), but Joe did get a bunch of signatures from the 30 Days of Night boys, as well as some from the Aspen Comics hotties (and yes they were). But at least I got a couple more pieces from Robert Kraus of RAK Graphics (which he did on the spot for me), an artist I'd met previously at Wizard World LA and whose comic-styling images I love.

Two days of merchandising exclusives, crazy crowds, packed panels, and never-ending "what is this line for" queques, and Joe and I are already planning on spending three days down there next year!!!
