Later this week I will be taking off for Southern California to experience Comic-Con 2008 in San Diego. Believe it or not, I've never been before, so I am really looking forward to it. The entire convention is sold-out for all four days but, fortunately, I bought my tickets and made my hotel reservations way early, so I think I'm good to go!
The only problem is trying to figure out which events I want to attend. Sure there are some things I'd like to see... but there's nothing so life-altering happening that I absolutely have to do it. With that in mind, I think I'll just play it by ear and wander around until something looks interesting to me.
I take that back... there is, of course ONE event that is positively unmissable, and that would be Dave Diego on Saturday night!
w00t!
If you will be in the vicinity of San Diego and like to drop by to eat, drink, and chat with a swell group of bloggers... please email me at dave@blogography.com ASAP so we can make reservations for dinner and get you a name badge!
And now for two more days of torture before good times begin...

Bugger I’d love to go as I absolutely love San Diego. Bit of a drive from Phoenix though 😉 Dinner in the gaslamp district does sound rather good though.
Motley and I are looking forward to going!
Lil Dave is doing his Karl impression!
So just where *would* he have to go for Lil Dave to be wearing a tropical shirt and flip flops? Davewaii?
Ooh! I have an idea for a new logo i.e. li’l Dave Diego as Don Diego (aka Zorro) – sombrero etc. Very historically apropos for So. Cal., I think. Wish I could be there.
I may just have to round up some bitches to come join in. Wha’? Hope you’re not offended. We’re bitchy like that, but in a most wonderful way.
Can’t wait to see what you’ll think of the jam-packed, smelly nerd-infested ComicCon!
Dave Diego… wow. And we get to see Winter and Motley together in the same place as loving mother and daughter. Nice.
I wish I was going to ComicCon! I’ve never been and I’m curious to know whether there are actually any affordable Silver Age books.
DaveDiego is just what the doctor ordered. Well, my *psychiatrist*, but we’ll keep that part to ourselves. Can’t wait to see you!
You’re going to Comic Con? So friggin’ jealous…
oooo the comic-con is fantastic, i have gone to past ones but not this years i am already awaiting next years. i am going to the toronto Fan-expo in august you must post pictures of your trip!!
Pffft! More like snarky mama and bitchy daughter. HEH. We’ll be good for one night. 😉
I wish I could be there. But alas, I cannot.
Have a great time! You have earned a bit of fun 🙂
wish i were going to be there…..
it’s one of my favorite cities in the world. you’ll love it.
lucky! i’ve never been much of a comic book fan, but for some reason or another i’ve become more and more interested in going to comic con.
First the candy show and now this. Wow, Bad Monkey has connections! Guess Savage Pizza was a good way to get you ready for San Diego. Say hi to Stan Lee for me. Maybe he can do “The Adventure of Lil’ Dave”!
Welcome to San Diego! I’d love to meet a bunch of new people for some eats… except, I’ll be in Orange County on Saturday night for a bowling tournament (yes, I said bowling). I hope Dave Diego is a blast! If you see a chickie driving around town in an old-school blue convertible, that’d be me!
That sounds awesome. Comic-con is definitely one I’d like to get to at some point.
