San Diego Comic-Con 2012
Howdy Folks,
Comic-Con was the first part of my two weeks in California. This was also my first Comic-Con, and boy did I go over budget 😉
I arrived late on Wednesday to meet up with Polaroid as I was staying with him. This was great because he is a veteran and expert on Comic-Cons. We stayed at Kings Inn which has two restaurants, and the free shuttle bus stops in front of the Inn. Thursday I didn’t have a ticket yet so I went to the San Diego Zoo, and had a great time there too. Later in the evening we met up with Matt & Bronwen to pick up her ticket so I could use it the rest of the weekend. We talked for awhile and offered dinner out, but they had to get back to make manikins.
Friday 13th was a excellent day. Met Frank Cho and got his signed calendar and some prints. Also a couple drawings from Armando Huerta. One of his models (Andi Lyn) was there and Snuggles got his picture taken with her. Armando does awesome drawings, and so does Greg Horn. He was the next stop, and many others.
All this time we were getting pictures of the many Cosplayers, and most had their picture taken with Snuggles. He was getting email addresses left and right, Lucky bastard. Guess this more of a continuing adventures of Snuggles.
Saturday was a big day. I met Doug Sneyd of Playboy fame. He did a drawing of Ceilidh from a picture on my website. He said this was the first time he had done a drawing from an iPad. While waiting for the drawing I got an autograph on my Witchblade shirt from Mark Silvestri. After dinner we went back to pick up my drawing and iPad. Then looked around until closing.
Sunday we went back in the morning to do some final shopping to get the best bargains. Also Frank Cho singed my Liberty Meadows shirt. After lunch we stopped by Ruby13, but that is a story for another blog 😉
Enjoy.
