I forgot how much fun it is! The adventure. The experiences. The quick adapting to unexpected changes in plans.

"Retro"spect on 2008
Everyone begins the year with a list of “New Year’s Resolutions.” Things we say we’re going to change about ourselves, or things we’ve put off doing, in order to grow. I have the wonderful benefit (or curse) of having been a blogger for...
Comic Con 2008 – Last Day (sunday)
Well, the adventure draws to a close. Our plan was to take Chris to the airport around 9 and head back to browse for a couple of hours. But we didn’t schedule quite right and traffic was still bad the closer you got to the convention center. By the time we got...

Comic Con 2008 – Day 4 (Saturday)
This was GOING to be the last day, so we were prepared to get the most out of it. And there were panels we all wanted to see on our own, so we did. Troy headed off to see Heroes panel, Chris went off to see Futurama and Simpsons and I…well… I wanted to...
Comic Con 2008 – Day 3 addendum
They warned us about crowds and lines. They weren’t kidding. But nothing any different than Disney World. And instead of a 3 minute ride, we generally got an hour of entertaining and informative information. Not to mention all the tv and movie stars. Granted,...
Comic Con 2008 – Day 3 – a little late
The energy was ramped up for Friday. Crowds lned up well before the doors opened and people were decked out in costume. Still missed the Stormtrooper parade. Have NO idea where it was or if it existed. However, bands of stormtroopers wandered the exhibit hall, groups...
Day 2 – Addendum
Had to crash last night after we got back. Not a super late night or anything, but after all that activity being around all those people, and…well…we were all pretty wiped out. We ALMOST went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show…maybe tonight. Today,...
Comic Con 2008 – From Troy's Camera
Here are some various shots from some of the sessions we went to, some costume shots and other stuff. I’ll try to add some descriptions.
Day Two – Comic Con
Just a quick entry. We’re about to watch a panel on women in horror, fantasy and sci-fi moderated by Kevin Smith. Will explain and/or update photo captions later. FUN! Richard Hatch from Battlestar Galactica Castle Grayskull There’s an old school Cylon...
Day One – The ComicCon (plus some other stuff)
I’m SOOOOO freakin’ tired and we haven’t really started yet! I’ve been up since 3:30 this morning after a 3 hour nap. While it’s only 10:30 out here, it’s 12:30 back home. Troy is snoozing on the couch (funny, hunh dad?). Anyway,...
Day One! Part 2 – The Suite
OH YEAH! Troy did good. We arrived at noon at the Hotel Sommerset…well before normal check-in. But we were so darn charming and geeky that the lady said we had our choice of floors and choice of rooms. She asked if we wanted an EXECUTIVE suite. We said,...
