San Diego bound
OK so Comic Con in San Diego is taking place next weekend and if all goes right, I should be making my way there without much trouble. I put in for press passes weeks ago and I am starting to get really excited, I mean this is Comic con, it's like the Oscars for our industry and I am planning to cover the event for SBC.
It's not like I planned a vacation this summer so this is the closest that I am going to come as I am still taking my photo class, but this event promises to live up to the hype with the inclusion of the Watchmen movie, the entire cast of Heroes and appearances by Neil Gaiman, Erik Larsen, Todd McFarlane, Marc Silvestri and a myriad of other creators and top industry figures.
My friend George from Portland will be meeting me and he should take care of our accomodations and transportation while in San Diego and I think my buddy and Mountaineer co-worker Adam Valenzuela is also making the drive down, so it should be pretty cool. We can even do a live vidcast and reports for the convention floor.
I wish there was time for me to watch the Chargers practice at Balboa park, but seeing the 4 day schedule for the con, I doubt I will have any time to take in any other sights as I have to return to work on Monday, but it should be a great mid-summer road trip.
