So we made it to COMICON! I got a bunch of cool stuff to show you guys after this very overwhelming and fun weekend. Here's a quick recap of our 1st 24 hours:
After a wasted THURS spent stuck in traffic finding our way down to SAN DIEGO, we made it to the convention center in time to do a quick sweep of the lay out and acquire our pro badges. Out of the 6 years we've been coming to COMICON this was definitely the most packed I'd ever seen a THURS (typically SAT is the real busy day). There was no lack of costumed holligans running around and even just hanging out for an hour, it was quite a handful to take in.

After we got out of the con, we went to meet up with my friends, Julianna and Tyson, whose house we are crashing at. We dropped our stuff off, had a few glasses of wine and all went out to grab some food at a 'grill your own entree' style restaurant. I burned my finger, but we managed to take a couple stupid photos of each other:

After this exciting meal, we made our way out on the town to meet up with some comic book folk. We hit up a couple industry parties that basically featured a bunch of people who didn't know each other and comic book people just standing around. Although, the occasional free drink was nice. What really turned the night around was bumping into what became the weekend's 'Comic Book Party Posse' of Jim Mahfood, Dave Crosland, Scott Morse, Shannon and a couple more. We also ran into Tara McPherson while we were out. These folks would prove to be the ones that we would tear it up with all weekend. Check out the beginnings here:

Finally, THURS night ended with us retiring from the comic book world and invading some SAN DIEGO locals for a little after hours sitting around a porch and drinking some beer action. It looked a little bit like this:
