Home bound for a bit

Well the trips have stopped but only for about a month and half.

San Diego was good. Mom and I hit: Comic-con, USS Midway, and the San Diego Zoo. With the help of a family friend that lives near by, Oceanside, we had a 3 hour tour of the area. We got to see areas we could only get lost in if we went past the ocean area. All pictures are on Facebook. They are not in order but hey be happy I got them up somewhere to be seen. :)

The Con was awesome. I can see where folks go nuts and just spend days and days there checking stuff out. Not to mention the amount of celebrities. We didn't check out any panels or stand in line to get autographs but we had fun seeing and meeting people. The guys from New Jersy behind us in line were really cool about it all. They were veterans at the Con and the people watching.

At Chicago's Comic-con I met some really nice guys and we chatted for a bit. Met them at the Hotel and just struck up a conversation. I have one of their posters - Britannia and home that Matt does a series. I still can't believe he did the whole thing in ink. It's just so gorgeous! Check out their site. I don't believe it's on the website but Jake's stuff is.

Next years big event in the Midwest. Chicago's Comic-con is still going to happen but this has the big publishers here.

The next adventure is to Ho-chunk. Jen has some convention thing of her own there and I get to help. My contribution is driving up there in my brother's van. He's got a sweet ass van too. It would be cool to have some of you readers there. I think we're makin it a weekend of it but I'm not sure. I didn't book the gig.

Speaking of which, I now have access to the airline system that my company uses. I just have to do some training on the site to do to become familiar with the process. Another big event that I would like to get more too is a weekend in Vegas - October 16th to the 19th. Let me know if you are interested in going. It doesn't matter where or what state you currently live in, I can do it! :)

Hope everyone had a good summer. May fall bring us together more often.
