COMIC-CON

My first Comic-Con! Sweaty fanboys pawing over well-preserved first editions as far as the eye could see. 
There was plenty of D & D slash Magic the Gathering going on.
Old Nintendo Systems I was drooling over. All for sale! Curse my dismal resources.
The closest I'll come to having an action figure of myself.
This guy gave me his 'x-rated' pose.

Awesome.

It looks like the Ghostbusters have really let themselves go over the years...


Probably the saddest shot of the day. Interesting how one line of dialogue can lead to a career on the convention circuit. As Hadleigh and Seth pointed out, the 'Autograph Area,' which included Peter Mayhew (the guy inside the Chewbacca suit), felt a little like the poignant autograph/merch scene in The Wrestler. It's the strange territory where pride and embarrassment overlap. The dream goes on...
