Comic Con--and why you should go
PostPosted: Tue Feb 06, 2007 11:48 pm
Top reasons:
(1). If you live close enough to San Diego and have never gone to "The CON", YOU HAVE ALREADY FAILED AT LIFE.
(2). Even if you live further away and have never gone to "The CON", YOU STILL FAIL AT LIFE.
Comic Con, unlike any Anime convention, is a convention with a much broader scope that attracts divers hordes of pathetic lowli--I mean, fans of all shapes and sizes.
Many movies that are soon to be released (and destined to be hits!) are previewed there with lots of exhibitions, panels, and the like. I remember going to "The CON" during the LOTR years and attending the Snakes on a Plane panel. Wonderful memories.
The dealer area is massive. AX2006, which had the largest attendance of any American anime convention, dwarfs in comparison to CC. (And don't give me numbers! You know what Twain said about d@mned lies and statistics).
You will be amazed at the sheer.... superlatives that reside within the Hall of the Great San Diegan Sail Barge, as I call it. Whether it be the massive PHAILURE of the PHANBOYS or the scope of the grandeur of the celebrities that condescend to make their presence there. Vic Mingnogna? Normal people (non-anime watchers) would think you were talking of a sandwhich maker from Philly. Samuel L. Jackson? SAMUEL L. [EXPLETIVE] JACKSON!? Mention that name and people start misquoting the Bible all over you!
And, besides, it's right by the sea and a bunch of intimidating Naval warships. What's not to love?
If you need any other reason, it's because I'M SICK AND TIRED OF BEING THE ONLY CAA DUDE TO REPRESENT!
And bring a controller so I can kick your rear end in Melty Blood using Hisui.
