Cousin Curt Blog #2

Thursday July 16th, 2009…it’s 7am and we just got finished our nutritious McDonald’s breakfast in the town of Primm Nevada. It’s the last time I’ll be in Nevada until the 27th.

The day before, when we first got off the plane, I turned to Isaac and thelabcoatguy and said “we’re going to be back here in no time, and once we do come back to the airport and the trip is all done I’m going to say remember at the beginning of the trip when I said once we get back to the airport I’ll say this?”

They looked at me with confusion, but they knew what I meant, and it was awesome.

FauxPop at San Diego Comic Con 2009 – Report 3

Preview Night

I assumed that, after the initial stampede to get into the exhibition hall, there would be an ebb and flow to the action, a kind of natural rise and fall of crowdedness that would allow us to get around more easily after everyone had bought all their limited edition figurines.
My assumptions were based on blithe ignorance.

The crowds did not cease. Nor did they ease off, thin out or scale back.

People were everywhere.

Walking from one end of the hall to the other causes everyone to accidentally get to second base. I didn’t have this many breasts pushed into me slow dancing in Grade Eight. And I’m not just talking about female breasts. There is a heavy contingent of well-endowed gentlemen wandering about, and I don’t mean down below.

And when has shame disappeared from our culture?

I remember being a kid and worrying about who was going to go Shirts and who was going to Skins in gym class, but these days, there doesn’t seem to be such a stigma. There are people out there walking around as proud as punch, big, round people with plenty of self, and they’re wearing skin tight leotards, thongs, side cleavage-revealing dresses and bodystockings. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be wearing those things, because I fully support anyone’s decision to do what he or she thinks is right, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else. But that doesn’t mean that he or she should.

FauxPop at San Diego Comic Con 2009 – Report 1

San Diego Comic Con 2009 Report
Wednesday, July 22 – Day 1

I don’t want to write the same thing every other first time attendee starts off with, but my God, the line-ups!

We left L.A. early, rolling off Santa Monica Blvd around six, and thinking we would be the only ones on the road. Just like everybody else thought.

Two hours later we were ringing the edge of San Diego, funneling in with every other commuter.

We lined up to get off the freeway.
Lined up to go south along Harbor Drive.
Lined up to get into the parking lot.

FauxPop Geographic

So we’re out here on the California coast, shooting some Ninja Turtles stuff and we end up driving down PC#1, which is a beautiful drive. But it’s hard work, and I’m only a man, in spite of what you’ve heard, and I get thinking that maybe we should stop and check into some place for the night.
