Comic-Con update

I still have slow internet, so the pics will be few. But in short, we saw a lot of cool people...I bought 13 graphic novels, Amanda bought a book, and so far we have received 7 free t-shirts, 3 free books, a bunch of posters, and I bought some Todd Lockwood art...

Comic-Con

Quick update, the internet's slow here but here's some cool teaser stuff...

House Update/Off to Comic-Con

Here's the progress on the Townhouse and we're off to Comic-Con today!

COMIC CON!! (i.e. Nerd Alert)

This is going to be a long one...
Well it has come and past, the main event of the year...ok, maybe not the main event of the year, but definitely awesome. As you saw in the previous post, I bought a few things (At the end of the post I'll put what I bought down). I got to drive down to San Diego with my sister Nicole and talk to her. TJ and Chris had been going since Wed. night so they hung out till about 12:40 and then peaced out. And of course, my loving wife -not wanting me to be alone (we knew TJ and Chris weren't going to stay)-Amanda came with us as well!! So to best tell the story, I must use pictures:

Comic-con was this Sunday (well, it was longer, but I couldn't get off work so Amanda & I just got to go Sunday) and here's a preview. I have more pics I will be posting within the next couple of days.

Drooling over Todd Lockwood art, by then I was out of money,
so I didn't get any. Why was I out of money...

And this is why I was out of money, also part of my b-day present. And don't worry, most of it was 60% off... more to come...
