Comic Con Preview Night 2011

WONDERFUL!!

I am not just a attendee and fan of Comic Con, I am a designer with a booth in the vast auditorium of pop.  I also have the honor/burden of being a venue manager for a few off-site events.  Soooooo, the last minute chaos is of the highest possible levels.

Did it!  We got the booth for Popular Naughty set up and ready, the giant space we call Industry Showroom in downtown San Diego has been completely reconstituted into the SEGA Game Lounge, and I still had some time to walk the floor of the Con.

Aah, at home for one week a year.  My fave moment so far was walking by a booth that Lou Ferrigno was signing at and as he stood up he took that moment to perform a thorough package scratching and adjustment session which made the Japanese girls in front of me giggle exactly like the Japanese girls in every anime I have ever seen.

“You won’t like me when I’m itchy.” the Hulk may say.

Day- almost, Tues July 19

San Diego Comic Con 2011!

The beginning of San Diego’s coolest time and hottest weather.

The streets are filled with installers, enormous murals appear overnight, saucy Ukrainian pedicab drivers careen through the streets, and buildings with or without tenants become offsite experiences to accompany “the Con”.  The Convention Center glows from the creative energy inside and the event that everyone, even the douchiest of the jocks, is getting an energetic buzz from the sudden influx of new energy.

I have a space down here and it is always pretty cool, but right now it’s one of the coolest in the world.

Aah, Geek Love.

On the flip side, the restrooms in the Convention Center are already unbearable.  Really? We can send a man to the moon, but we can’t properly ventilate nerd droppings?

 

Survival of the Hottest.

I’ve been saying it for years.  THE reason that Neanderthal people went extinct is that the Homo Sapien showed up with their flashy clothes, fancy doodads, and groomed bods and boinked the Neanderthals out of existence.

Now science has my back.  All non African people have SOME Neanderthal DNA in them.   Which means there was SUCH a fest of boinking, rarely between Neanderthal and Neanderthal, that they as a race were left at the bar long after closing.

Grandma?

The ladies couldn’t resist!  As our ancestors prowled across Europe they loved and left as many of the “natives” they could find and kept rolling. No, it isn’t much different than today if life were like a teenage movie.  But it just cracks me up that the most obvious of truths was argued against for so long.

My other theory and additional way to explain this massive interbreeding is that I suspect that the Homo Sapiens of this same time invented the paper bag.  THERE!  That’s how you can make love to a Neanderthal.

Here’s a stiffer version, with more sciencier science.

Since the actual launch date for this blog is the 2011 Comic Con in San Diego… you have missed this.  Exhibition night was July 1st 2011and a uber blast.  This show should be a regular event in San Diego for artists to mix, show, sell, and prepare for the massive invasion that is The CON.
