this is for you, kq
July 17, 2005At Comic Con, one of my favorite places in the world to people-watch, I spyed:
– Life-size Lego R2-D2, Darth Vader and Chewbacca
– Willy Wonka
– Two Jedis with Jack-in-the-Box heads
– Life-size Ugly Dolls
– My little ponys!
– More pirates than goths
– A girl covered in pantyhose material and not much else
– A ton of boys who looked like my cousin, but wasn’t (Steven, where were you?)
– Some gorgeous and not-so-gorgeous artwork
I heard a little boy say, “I like this convention, mommy,” but I couldn’t find him in the crowd.
I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>
I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
Oh! I love the ComicCon! The hubby & went to the one in Novi, Michigan last year, and we are going again this year to promote our new horror mag–Theatre of Decay! (The hubby is a horror writer, and I, well, I make for a good editor, though you’d never tell it by the way I leave messages….)
But, yes, it is so much fun to people-watch at a ComicCon!
