Holy shit! Go you indeed.


This past weekend was Comic-Con down in San Diego. Went with Zabuza and our friend Bernie. Hung out with my friend Gina and her son, Conner, while down there as well.

Shit I did and saw (my apologies if it sounds like bragging, but when going to Comic-Con you see A LOT and get really excited about it):
- Saw Stardust, which Neil Gaiman did a Q&A after. I was sitting 3 feet away from him the whole time. Asked him about the meteor shower coincidence and got a signed poster. I went to two different panels where Neil Gaiman came out to talk about his projects.
- Saw a few preview scenes for Neil's other film project, Beowulf, in 3D (actually it was something they call Real-D).
- Was stuck with Jhonen Vasquez waiting for a really long freight train to go by after we came out of the Spike and Mike Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation gauntlet.
- Went to the big Heroes panel where they showed the sneak preview of next season (lots of spoilers) and Kevin Smith came out as a surprise since it was announced just then that he would be working on the Heroes Origins spin-off.
- Was at the Futurama panel discussing the show's return (only 16 episodes). Before the panel, the audience was given these little comic books that explained the show's cancellation and triumphant return. As a treat for the fans, all of the voice actors read through the comic book in their characters' voices.
- Saw the pilot episodes for Bionic Woman and The Sarah Conner Chronicles. Both were a bit cheesy, but sci-fi can be that way sometimes.
- Saw Joss Whedon again.
- Was at the Battlestar Galactica panel when Lucy Lawless came out as a surprise saying she would be returning to the show.
- Went to a few of the movies in the film festival and completely fell in love with this Star Trek buddy picture called "Orion Slave Girls Must Die!!"
- Got my copy of Battle Pope #1 signed by Robert Kirkman, my PvP books signed by Scott Kurtz, a few of my 100 Bullets books signed by Brian Azzarello, my Wizard World L.A. exclusive Hellboy #1 signed by Mike Mignola, and a Machete poster signed by Danny Trejo.
- Took pictures of tons of cosplayers, but one of the best was this booth babe who really had one leg who dressed as Cherry from "Grindhouse."
Cherry
- At the Paramount Pictures panel, they had a satellite hook-up with the Indiana Jones 4 set and Harrison Ford, Spielberg, and Karen Allen (Marion Ravenwood), Neil Gaiman came out to talk on Stardust and Beowulf, J.J. Abrams discussed his secret (and currently unnamed project) that has cryptic trailers out for it, and Joe Favreau did his thing for Iron Man, and the finale of it all was the announcement that Zachary Quinto would be playing Spock in the next Star Trek movie and Nimoy would also be in it as old Spock.

My weekend went well. I just spend time with my friend Jeffrey. I played Prince of Persia and Prince of Persia 2 for Nintendo Gamecube while my friend plays True Crime NYC (God I love that game). Have you ever played that game. Also my family went to Coney Island while I get to stay with my friend because I was too old to go to amusement parks for any rides.

Talk about I've become way to serious for buisnesses and other shit I have to do.

I went to my dad's house for the first time in a month or so and over there was a party to bet on the motorboat races (whatever they're called) and to watch the blue angels perform on tv. I don't like sports though so I played video games. I still put a bet down though, but my boat lost lol. All well.

Otherwise I played video games and read.

Oh yeah, and I got my first car. A silver ford. Though it's kinda old, used, and cheap I don't really care so long as I can get from point A to point B. lol

This weekend was a bit interesting, if not odd and edging on frustrating near the end of it.

Thursday: Went with WhiteRose, Elara, and GuardianOni to a preview screening of Stardust at the Grove in L.A. Ended the night with VenomnousLobster running around the Shorehouse parking lot on power risers.

Friday: Biked over to Junkie's house to see about cheering him up. Didn't realize I'd biked 8 miles 'til I got to his place. The thing that sucked about it was the fact that bike's seat is a lot lower than would be comfortable for my legs, but oh well.

Later went to a friend's birthday party at a bar in Santa Ana, where Zoso's car completely broke down. Either way, I drank an ungodly amount of Coke since the serving girl thought I was the designated driver and kept bring me free soda. Found out a former MI tranny killed her husband and sons, just after she called Becky to tell her she was doing a lot better in life.

Saturday: Got dropped off at Junkie's to pick up the bike and ride it home. That night Zoso's band, Voidcrush, played at this bar in the desert, opening for Creeping Death, Metallica's "official" tribute band. Finally got to meet Rick, Voidcrush's new member.

Took pictures, roadied, drank a little, took care of Zoso who drank quite a bit, and rocked out to Metallica.

Sunday: After being woken up early to eat breakfast had to head over to the airport to pick up Zoso's sister. Got lunch with their dad and brother, which was awkward (but amusing for me). Had to watch the sister until their aunt came back from Vegas, which turned into waiting around 'til 9 p.m., watching Nickelodeon pre-teen shows and being bored out of our minds.

When we finally got away, went to Phil's one-man show in Long Beach, which was a sequel to the show he was doing last year. Took Junkie with us.

Afterwards drove into the Palos Verdes area to watch the meteor shower.

This past weekend was pretty cool despite my being sick through a lot of it.

Friday: Was originally going to see Conspiracy Theory play at a bar somewhere in Downey, but illness got in the way. They play with Zoso's band every now and then, so I'll see them eventually.

For some reason went with Kittybob and Zoso to Wal*Mart in the middle of the friggin' night, though.

Saturday: WhiteRose had a big party at her house for her and her father's birthdays. It was great. Zabuza flew down from San Jose and of the people on the board Elara, GuardianOni, Vyrus, Zoso, DarkBeloved, Makura, Pockets were there.

The poor DJ...

Sunday: Zabuza and I went on a museum crawl through L.A. relying only on trains and buses. Went to the Pastel Cathedral, LACMA, and the La Brea tar pits, specifically.


Next weekend'll be packed with Voidcrush shows as mentioned here.

Triple post score.

Really I post to this thing because it actually keeps track of what I did and so on. Blah.

Last weekend:
Friday: Voidcrush had a show at the Relax Pub in Hollywood. Got some really good pictures. Afterwards, we all watched movies at Marty and Becky's, drinking some, and winding down.

Saturday: Voidcrush had another show at the Winchester Inn out in Hemet. It went over REALLY well, and not just for a show out in BFE, but it was probably one of their best gigs yet. That night sat up past 3 a.m. at Marty and Becky's having conversations with Marty and Rick, the new guy.

Sunday: ANOTHER show for Voidcrush. This time at a naughty nurse club called The Good Hurt in Venice Beach.

That Monday, after spending the weekend somewhat in pain over a troublesome wisdom tooth, had said tooth pulled.


This past weekend:
Friday: After finally getting some rain here in the L.A./Long Beach area, Zoso and I hung out with Pat (Junkie) and then we went to see Sound & Fury perform Cyranose, their take on the Cyrano de Bergerac story. Beforehand, we went to the county art museum to kill some time and then took a stroll around the La Brea tar pits in the dark with it raining a little on us.

Saturday: Spent the day going all over L.A. with my mom and Zoso. Went to the central Library, LACMA and drove around a bit.

Seriously thank whatever deity there is for the rain. It seems to have cleansed everything to some degree.

Just found out Terry Pratchett will be appearing at the Torrance Borders tonight at 7.

I called Junkie to ask if he was interested. He said he's doing laundry.

Anyone else interested? Zoso and I are going.

So far this week's been pretty interesting--saw Terry Pratchett, went tidepooling, ate an ungodly amount of expensive sushi (which I feel guilty about since Kittybob picked up the tab, because Kittybob is cool like and then takes you out to lunch again the next day. She's AWESOME!!), and then tomorrow going to the big street fair in L.A.

One of my pics of Terry Pratchett:


More as it occurs.

Bumped. Just because.

This past weekend was pretty much a continuous celebration of Dia de los Muertos, pretty much my favorite holiday.

Friday: I drove up to Pasadena with Zoso to see some altars people did at FolkTree's gallery. Both of us put names in the community altar to honor our deceased loved ones. The names people placed in the altar will be ceremoniously burned.

Right after that we drove over to Olvera Street in L.A. for their traditional Day of the Dead celebration. For the non-L.A. folks Olvera Street is an old part of L.A. peopled with Mexican immigrants who've put together a wonderful and flourishing marketplace in an alleylike area.

Saturday: Went to the closing reception for the Frida Kahlo exhibit at a Long Beach gallery, met a surrealist who discussed his painting of Frida.

Headed over to the library to take care of some business and register Zoso for a show that we were planning to attend. My city's weird. Whenever the library has an event, you have to register to go and residents have priority over non-residents. Yeah, odd.

Zoso's band had a show in Winchester. Drove out there with Rick, the rhythm guitarist. The show went over pretty well. Small crowd, but we had 7-year-olds moshing in the pit. Seriously.

Went home and watched the 1962 version of Lolita.

Sunday: Went to a Dia de los Muertos festival at Bowers Museum. They had this really cool and surreal display they put together. It's really hard to explain, but it was showing a dead couple going through the life they didn't get to have because they died before their wedding day. Everything was done up in black lights with lifesize paper-mache skeletons.

Monday: Went to class, was picked up by Zoso and I drove to Borders to see Slash from Guns 'N' Roses do a signing. Left early, got lost on the way home and ended up in L.A. where we had dinner then raced home to watch Heroes.


Will write more soon. The weekend after this upcoming one, as well as Thanksgiving weekend (the weekend after that) promises to be rather interesting with all the races to and from San Diego and then to and from Phoenix, Arizona.
