Good start

Well 12 runs is a good start. Of course they scored 11 runs last night and 14 runs on Sunday. Welcome to Atlanta Mark, it is looking like a good summer.

Demo?

With this group of sad looking mofos I'm surprised we got a single demo.











Of course, as a reminder we did get a demo or two :)

Nice Ride

I so missed my Mustang last week. I had to drive a huge Lincoln Town Car, wtf man that thing was a boat. At San Diego Comic-Con I did find a few alternatives to the boat town car. I love Batman but I think I'd take the Mach 5.

Welcome to Atlanta Mark

He'll look much better in a Braves uniform. This is the first good first baseman we've had since El Gato Grande. This guy is one helluva ballplayer. Good times.

Good bye San Diego, see you next year

This is such a bittersweet show. It is so much work, so expensive, on the other side of the country, all sorts of random things that appear bad. But I absolutely love the show. There is so many good things to see and do, I wouldn't want to miss it if I could avoid it. See you next year San Diego.

Done!

We're done with San Diego Comic-Con. What a great and tiring show. This is the first time since I left Decipher that I broke down this show, I forgot how much waiting was involved. I will post a complete after the show write up sometime this week. Less than two weeks until our next show, Wizard World Chicago. I doubt I'll see as many celebrities much less talk to them like I did at this show. It was pretty cool to talk to Ali Larter, Levar Burton, some guy from Kyle XY, and Andre 3000. I love Comic-Con!

The Simpsons San Diego Comic-Con Style

Who knows who the person is in the picture. But the Simpsons were walking around SDCC all week to promote The Simpson's Movie. They stopped and had a huge queue line for pictures, I just grabbed one.

Happy Simpsons weekend

San Diego Comic-Con Hotties

There is quite a few hotties at San Diego Comic-Con. From the before mentioned Jessica Alba to Hayden Panettiere and Ali Larter to just people who dress up. Some of them even stopped by our booth.

A naughty nurse taking a demo.














Another person taking a demo who kept readjusting her pants to make sure her thong showed to whole world. Hey if she is going to readjust to show it then why not take a picture. It turns out she was a model looking for other booth modeling jobs. She did like 24 TCG though.














Probably the best looking Slave Girl Leia I've ever seen. I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of her rear even though she was showing a good bit of it off.














Black Cat.














Jean Grey.














Batgirl and Supergirl.














The coming of 50 girls, yes 50 of them all right in front the booth, for the new Resident Evil movie.














And the going of 50 Resident Evil girls.














And of course Ali Larter's backside after her security realized I was trying to take a picture of her after talking to her for a few seconds. Sadly no lacy thong with her either.

Masi Oka and more!

I know that isn't Masi Oka but I can't figure out how to get pictures from my phone to my computer at this late hour. I have plenty of other pictures to upload but I am exhausted and ready to crash.

I will tell the Masi Oka story later. Unlike Jessica Alba I actually got to talk to Masi, well for about 5 seconds.

Jessica Alba

Our booth at San Diego Comic-Con is apparently near the celebrity entrance to the floor. Most celebrities do not even attempt to visit the show floor. However Jessica Alba does. There was a huge crowd of security and people when she came out onto the floor and most people didn't know who she was, because she is only like 5 foot flat and you couldn't see her.

On the way back however, you definitely could tell it was her. Man is she attractive. Of course I was in the middle of a demo to Dr. Heimlich with my camera in my bag, no picture for me. However I was able to find this nice piece of eye candy on the internet, enjoy!

Thursday San Diego Comic-Con Update

Some more pictures from Thursday at San Diego Comic-Con. I didn't get to see stuff as much today as I could on other days, stupid work getting in the way. The one Batman was huge and the Dark Knight Batman is almost a must own. I know the Little One and Pretty Bird will like the Emily the Strange picture.

More San Diego Comic-Con

Here is just a few pictures. I've got more on my 24 TCG blog, they mostly have to do with 24 TCG though.

Some Disney stuff for The Little One and Pretty Bird.













Some Heroes stuff for everyone else. Actual props, so sool. HRG's actual HRGs! They also had the Tim Sale paintings at the booth, I love Comic-Con.

Live from San Diego!

Man I love this show, what an over-the-top experience. In addition the best geek show in the world we have great weather, incredible seafood, real Mexican food (featuring my favorite, corn tortillas), and some pretty good eye candy. I will post some pictures here and on my 24 TCG blog.

This is for Pretty Bird. It is about a 1/3 or 1/4 scale Black Pearl. Pretty cool.












This one is The Little One. She really loved the talking polar bear in the Golden Compass preview and this one is life size. Well if there were talking polar bears the wore armor.










This one is for me. Indiana Jones and The OMG Trevor Can't Wait To See It.

Who's Now

I have no idea, I know "Who's Now" means change the channel on ESPN. I also know that "Now" I'm getting ready for San Diego Comic-Con. I should update some, I might not. If you're going stop by the booth and demo 24 TCG. If you're not going, well then why the hell not, it is San Diego Comic-Con!

Barry Bonds can suck it

I don't care about the steroids/HGH issue, I think it sucks ass but I also think a ton of players did it as well. I just don't like Barry Bonds, he is an ass, I don't like players who act like a dick. The Braves had to deal with Barry in 91 and 92 with Pittsburgh and then in 93 with the Giants. They did had to deal with the fucker a few years later when the Giants got good again. Sure I wasn't going to bitch about the steroids/HGH thing and I won't. The think that bothers me the most about Barry, how the hell is he allowed to wear that armor? It allows him to stand on the plate with no fear of getting hit, it shouldn't be allowed. Anyway, enough bitching about Barry Bonds, what an ass.

To quote a song from the now defunct 96Rock in Atlanta during the great summer of 1993

"...strike out Barry Bonds..."

Polamalu Facts

Two thirds of the earth is covered by water, the rest is covered by Troy Polamalu.

Some days has good news, other days have great news. Emily's favorite Steeler, real close to mine, and probably their best player for another five years. Not bad, not bad at all.

San Diego Comic-Con

Yes, I'm going to San Diego Comic-Con. We have a very small booth and we're doing demos for 24 TCG all week. I've had about 15 questions if I was going and I wanted to make sure everyone knew. If you need that exclusive Transformer or The Dude just let me know.

Reading Material

Some book came out today, I heard some people might want to buy it. Pretty Bird got it of course, I will read it when I return from San Diego Comic-Con. I'm sure there will be some people there, at least a dozen or so total, that have read the book. Hopefully it won't get spoiled.

Freddy Krueger

We have a new kitten and should have named her Freddy Krueger. She both is psychotic and has a fetish towards clawing up people. If she ever gets over either of those things I think she might be cute, well for a cat.

Weekend

Man I need a weekend. What a long week at work. At least I get 2.5 day weekends still, good times. Plus next week is only one day in the office so the turmoil that is causing extra stress won't apply to me as much. Something to look forward to I guess.
