Yep. I was a total GEEKANDILOVEDEVERYMINUTEOFITSOTHERE!!!!!
I got to watch Kevin Smith talk about his new movie and laughed my ASS off!! I could honestly listen to that tubby bitch for days. He's just so goddamned entertaining.
Bryan Singer, the gentleman who directed X-men, X-men 2, Gods and Monsters, Apt Pupil and the Usual Suspects was there talking about his latest movie; Superman. He and the young star (whose name I forget) who plays Supes gave a rather bland talk about the movie. Both men seemed genuinly unprepared for the questions by the con-goers. Now, one could argue that the Con is NOT thier typical venue. That's fine. They did, however, show an extended clip of the new film which looks fucking amazing.
Karen Berger, the head of DC comics played a preview of; "V for VENDETTA" and then passed out masks that I was fortunate enough to get and bring home in one piece. Pretty fan-boyish but fuck it. That's me! :P
I got to meet a few X-Kubert School folks like Steve Lieber who was very kind and asked me about my co-conspiritor, Mike Sellers (Mike inked a bunch of my work you can see in my pics section on this browser), whom Steve also went to school with. Steve did such great comics as; "White Out" and "White Out-Melt".
I got a number of good leads for where to send work; Bongo Comics for one-they publish all the Simpsons and Futurama books. Slave Labor Graphics liked my horror stuff so they want me to send 'em shtuff. Image seemed pretty interested in having me send some work and there were a few companies that are just starting up that want to take on more creator owned projects so I'll be sending shiz-nit out to them as well.
One of the highlights (other than hearing Kevin Smith say to all the Gay San Fran populace; "I'm only one cock in the mouth shy of being gay too!!") was to meet Rafael Navarro who publishes; "SONAMBULO". He lurks here on Myspace too and you should check out his page and see his work. It's really fucking good. but not only is he a very talented individual, Raf is genuinly one of the nicest guys I've ever met.
Raf; I hope the con was great to you!
I wish you all the luck in the Sonambulo-verse!!

E :D
