It's a conspiracy against Jewish nerds! How dare they have Passover during ComicCon! They should have held it Easter weekend because Christians wouldn't let a little thing like their crucified savior's death day stop them from getting their geek on.

The comic con used to be huuuuuuuge about 15 years ago. I guess it's back, but I wonder if Gwar will wander the convention center "eating" people again. Those were the days. oh, one of those, "i used to like it when it was cool" people. does that make jibbly a hipster or does it make jibbly really cool & only hipsters would attend? i'm so confused. maybe i should go to the bi-mon-sci-fi-con instead.

stan lee is one of those dudes that you think is cool but if you had to be around him in real life you'd want to punch him in the face."babyhitler" would want to punch a Jewish guy in the face? Imagine that.

There's a reason the Will Eisner Awards exist and Stan Lee has a star at Hollywood's "walk of fame". The comic con used to be huuuuuuuge about 15 years ago. I guess it's back, but I wonder if Gwar will wander the convention center "eating" people again. Those were the days.

This was the only time of the year the Javitz would let us have our nerd fest. I am sad I had to tell my hebro's that they will have to go though me for sketches. I am being paid my weight in yellow top coke though. The funniest thing is that it was announce like a year ago and none of them bother to check the calendar. Next year its back to cold ass February, so don't sweat guys. You can get your cosplay on in '09.
