Thousands of hot nerds is summer + bad ventilation.

Go to San Diego, enjoy the show. Leave your cynicism and self-judgement at home; they'll be there when you get back. While you're there, head over to Ocean Beach and soak up some positive vibes from the old hippies, then take a couple of beers over to Sunset Cliffs.

My sincerest condolences on the loss of your Sandman collection. I know how long that took. I have a few "Tapping the Vein" still, did you lose yours in the flood? For some reason, my wife doesn't think the kids are ready for Clive Barker and wants them gone. I want them to go to a good home where they will be loved (the comics, not the kids........I think).

“There’s something not right here. I feel cold, death.”
“That place… is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is. In you must go.”
“What’s in there?”
“Only what you take with you…Your weapons… need them you will not.”

First he referred to himself as the biggest Superman fan in the world, which lead to much grumbling from the crowd. THEN he gave Singer his business card, and the grumbling turned to boos.

I just hang out in Artist Alley. It's the perfect mixture of amateurs who have put up their life savings self-publishing their "groundbreaking" batman ripoff looking at you with puppy dog eyes, really old guys (I think the guy who created Green Lantern is always there), and occasional true artistic genius (Andy Lee).
