The first photo is by far the best though. All the imagination on display at the Con pales in comparison to the fascinatingly fucked up shit parading around in the real world. Fuck Denise Richards! That nutty old crippled broad in the wheelchair should have her own reality show. I'd pay to hear the stimulating conversations between her and the dummy.

NOTE: For the record, I would gladly fuck Denise Richards. Call me, Denise...

doesn't give me any hope for GI Joe, thats for sure.

I went to the preview night in 2006. It was about as busy as Sunday 2005 - a lot of people eager to see as much as possible in a limited amount of time; a good, tolerable, crowd. But every other day on the floor in 2006 was terrible. You didn't walk around so much as propel yourself along by bouncing off other people. Getting anywhere was like navigating an obstacle course, where the obstacles are (slowly) moving, in any given, often unpredictable, direction. Anytime any kind of gap opened, it was almost imediatley filled again by the swell of bodies.

I understand there were about 125,000 people there in 2006, a new record. But in 2007 they broke that record and sold out on Saturday. How many people qualifies as a "sell out"? 128,000? 130,000? And it looks like this year is sold out as well. That's a whole lot of people! 2005 was my first time there. I thought the crowds were big but not too big. 2006 was a bit too much. I could not stand having to deal with the "sell out" crowds that Comic Con now attracts. Just too many people.

In the two years I attended I got to sit and listen to (off the top of my head) Ray Harryhausen, Bruce Campbell, Stan Lee, Frank Miller, Roger Corman, John Romita Sr & Jr, Walter Koenig, JMS, David Cronenberg talk about their experiences in their respective industries. Plus stuff like "the world's worst cartoons", the short film festival, and the "comic con exclusive" previews that you won't see anywhere else.

Feast was awesome, I hope they can bring the same energy toward the second one and third.
