Since Weebl's still a bit lazy in getting some of the more recent stuff I've made for him on NG, I put together another compilation of my various quickie stuffs to serve as a grim reminder that I haven't died yet.

Behold! Tidbits 2!

Any hoo, I got back from San Diego earlier this week. Neatly enough, I shared the same plane connecting between San Diego and Philly with Tom Fulp and some other NG people. (I think I was right in front of Mike but generally chose not to bother anyone.)

Anyhoo, following on from the description of Day One from my previous journal (to sum up, lotsa Scott Pilgrim related aceness), here's my summary of the other days as copypasta'd from deviantArt.

Day 2

As Friday's events kicked off, my first priority was to get Bryan Lee O' Malley to sign my copy of Scott Pilgrim Volume 6. I had had plans to visit a couple of panels about Cartoon Network and Stan Lee, but those were thwarted by either getting stuck playing games (in this case, Metroid Other M), and not knowing where the heck I'm supposed to be going. So for the majority of the day, I potted around the stalls, even spotting a stand dedicated to monkeys wearing goggles. Badass. Ran into Eddsworld and his possy, and Tom Fulp signed my Behemoth Stress Chicken, even giving it goggles. ;3 I also got Worf's autograph and briefly caught glances of people such as David Boreanaz and Seth Green. I later hung around Edd again and went to a panel about The Goon, which looks kinda interesting. After parting ways and carting around for some evening entertainment (note: trailing through each avenue one by one is not a good game plan), I eventually returned to catch the late night screening of Batman: Under the Red Hood, which was pretty badass.

Day Not 3

On Saturday, I didn't have a ticket to the con, so I slept in in the morning and then later, following a pointless walk down a long street completely void of passing taxis, went to a relaxing sauna. After that I got some souvenirs for me family and expressed by jealousy over Europe's lack of tasty flavoured drinks. I later returned home to have a late night swim whilst Bare Naked Ladies played at a concert just a few metres away.

Day 4

Started the day by going to a nearby restaurant for some Steak and Eggs for brekky. Was some damn lovely steak it was.
Later booked it to the con, following up on a few things with some purchases (namely The Goon and that thing with the goggle wearing monkeys), as well as trying out/buying a game or two. Decided to go the Phineas and Ferb panel, the show being one of the few I actually watch on a television, and it was fun hearing all the character voices and seeing some of the exclusive clips. I then went to get an autographed poster from the cast members, though the line was so long, I missed the chance to see the screening of an hour long special. But hope was not lost, as I ran into the likes of Rubberninja, Princess Aurora, Skraggy, Channel Cat, The Swain and others at the Behemoth booth. We mooched around the bit looking for photo opportunities that Skraggy could Skraggybomb into. Fun was had. After the con closed its doors, we collected what NGers and went to a mexican restaurant. The surf n turf with crab and shrimp in it was lovely, though the two Long Island Teas I had caused me to be a little wibbly between walks to the loo and randomly sing aloud mrSimon songs. The thing ended just as I had hoped, with a nice gettogether with my pals from the interwebs.

Now to hastily list my booty for the trip:

Right now, I'm gearing up for next Saturday's NG London Meet. Jokes will be told. Drinks will be drunk. Knees will no doubt be fucked on the bumper cars. It'll be great.
