My Time At Comic-Con

I’m writing this from my phone at Comic-Con.

The LOST panel was incredible. I didn’t even know they were doing one so when I first walked into the con and saw that there was something LOST going on, I ran right in.

While I waited the 45 minutes to start, I took out my DS lite and loaded up pictochat. To my surprise there was one full room of chat and one near full. After seeing that the full rooms were unreadable I made my own.

No conversation is possible in pictochat. I was feeling in the community mood so I suggested everyone in pictochat wave their DS’s in the air. They did and I saw two younger kids and an old guy thrust their DS’s into the air. Then they had me do it. Shortly after I left pictochat.

For the next half an hour I saw a random popping of DS’s into the air. I could only assume I started a trend that would continue through the end of comic-con.

Writing on my phone is tiring.

The LOST panel was cool. They showed clips from the LOST Diaries and some stuff from the season 2 DVD. Both Hurley and Jin were there. I’ll write more about this when I have a real keyboard.

I ended up meeting Sid Haig. I took a pic with him which no one will see. I had him sign a glossy for Trista, I told him to write something really mean since she is my exgirlfriend and she cheated on me.

He wrote something “in character” which was hilariously appropriate because it’s a line that I actually said to Trista many times before in relation to my lack of trust of her. So funny, what a coincidence.

Sid Haig is a tiny man, sweet as a teddybear. Its amazing that someone so small and sweet looking can be so FUCKING SCARY on film.

Tutti-fuckin-fruity indeed.

I bought myself a bundle of money of stuff. There’s other stuff too, but again, real keyboard.

Now I’m waiting to meet Bruce Campbell, then I’m getting the fuck out of here since I only slept 2 hours.
