I originally wasn't planning on attending this week's sold-out San Diego Comic-Con (on my Twitter page, I joked, "I'm not much of a fan of crowded comic cons anyway. In fact, San Diego C-C isn't even a comic con anymore. It's now the TCA Press Tour."). But at the last minute, someone invited me to the con, and then I changed my mind about not going.
I'll be at Comic-Con for one day only--Friday. It'll be a Phil Collins-performs-"Sussudio"-at-Wembley Stadium-for-five-minutes-and-then-flies-off-to-Philly-to-perform-"Sussudio"-again kind of trip, except much less douchey.
The first time I attended Comic-Con was in 2007, when I saw a bunch of booth babes in cheerleader outfits unenthusiastically pass out copies of the Heroes: Season 1 DVD box set packaging to all the Ballroom 20 audience members at the Heroes season 2 cast and crew panel. The cheerleaders were glum probably because they already saw season 2.
My second visit to the con will be Friday. It'll be my first time there as a professional.
If you feel like saying hello to me, I'll be hanging around the Secret Identities booth, a.k.a. Jerry Ma's Epic Proportions booth (#1735), for most of Friday. My Secret Identities page neighbors Keiko Agena and Ming Doyle, the duo behind "Learn to Share," will be signing books at the booth at 2pm.
For those Fistful of Soundtracks listeners who are headed to Comic-Con, I'm re-airing the 2004 Fistful of Soundtracks: The Series episode "Superhero Worship" today at 10am and 3pm.
