THE CAPER

We touched down in San D. on Wednesday afternoon.

Already the town is in full swing for the Con. I'm not joking, there are banners hanging from lamposts and movie posters covering the sides of Hotels. There are rolling billboards and ads covering he sides of buses and the shuttles that move back and forth between the Con and the Hotels.

They don't play around.

So there we were checking into our hotel about four blocks from the Con.

Yeah that's right FOUR BLOCKS.

If you never done Comic-Con you don't know what a score that is. We booked in early March.

'For a Convention that doesn't happen til the end of July.' you say?

Yeah, 1st week in March. and by the mid March the town was booked SOLID. It's like the Scarlet Witch whispered 'No more hotel rooms.' Coming in is more of the same Planes, Trains, Buses, Cars, and Vans booked to bursting. And by nightfall restaurants and bars (especially hotel bars) standing room only. Look, the only people who drink more than Comic artists, fans, writers, and retailers are...

Well, come to think of it, Wolverine isn't real, and Artie Lange is in rehab so it's a moot point.

We dropped our bags off in our room and went o go pick up our Con passes.

Hey wait a minute, didn't you say the Con was SOLD OUT no more 4 day passes?

Well yes, I did. The four day w/preview night was sold out in Oct, and the rest about two weeks later, and the one day passes went blackout in April. But hey, no worries, we got ours in May.

See we got Comp. Pro passes.

About a year ago we started putting together a little webshow, a sit-com we call

'Forever Wednesday'

You can see it here http://watchforeverwednesday.com/

Go ahead, we'll wait.

So what do you think? Well tell your friends already!

(and if you weren't impressed? Keep it to yourself, alright? We're all friends here...)

Anyway thanks for taking a look.

So see we're Pro's just a litle bit of Internet Magic and we were in.

Comic-Con 2010.

Me, Gir, & The Hammer.

I wonder if anyone will notice.

READY FOR THE RUN

In a little over 3 days I’ll be in the fun and sun, the madness and the the thrill, the crowds and the crush.

Where did it begin?

Oh yeah, November…

On November 2009 Four day passes to Comic Con 2010 sold out. Surprising, well, more than a few people, myself included. I mean the con had stated to sell out lately, that wasn’t surprising but hey, selling out a mere 90 days after the close and a full 8 months prior to the doors opening in July of ‘10. OK that makes you stand up and take notice.

Now I’m the type that kinda likes to go into battle stations mode. So when it turned out that the passes gone I didn’t panic. Oh no, if anything I started to scheme.

To me the sold out really meant; GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.

So, yeah, time to stop screwing around. So you going or what Sparky?

Yeah, I’m going.

Time to get the crew together.

1st things 1st, who was my partner going to be?

I like to have some type of a crew when I’m going to pull a gig or a caper I can’t help it, I have a heist mentality about things. So I need back up. For the past few years that means Gir, My right hand my filthy assistant, my monkey wrench for the back of your head.. (and bane of my existence.) Gir hinders as much as helps, but Gir keeps me focused, she can also clear an aisle with a glance and possesses stompy powers far above the mortal ken. She is also the bearer of the ring of Hangry red might.

Fear her.

Ok, so Gir.

Next, an established member of the tribe, but joining Nerd Prom for the 1st time The Hammer. The Hammer has wanted to make Comic Con for over 10 years now, this year it was going to happen.

Now we need just need the stunt.
