To those who like original art, buy an artist's sketchbook from an art store and bring it with you to Wondercon. It should be hard, not soft, bound so that you can keep it for years. Look for free signings/sketch sessions -- there should be plenty of them. There are many more for a fee from $10-$500, although most run $40-$60. Over time, this sketchbook will fill with original work, provided you continue to go to Wondercon or San Diego Comic Con, and will be unique to you.

I will be there each day with my 8-year-old, Dave. If you recognize me, come up and say hi!

I wonder if I could unload all my old Starting Lineups and common HotWheels and other older crap

Anyone go yet?

Josh and I set up last night and Glenn and Lee are there today.
We have some pretty awesome deals. Just saying.

GAH!
too many plans and car problems to go ><

Looks like Ill be there tomorrow.

Wish I could go.
It sux when your toy spending gets in the way of more toy spending.
Plus I gotta start thinking 'bout SDCC.

Some super good deals. Just got back with the wife and kids. The new itokin park looks great!

I'm glad we went today... Thanks Glenn and Lee (I forgot to introduce myself..but I was the one who bought the green itokin)

How'd I manage to miss you!?!

S7 featured today "Lcfr bitches as there is no beer in the booth and Glenn is a nice shade of green as he was sicker than a dog." It was quite entertaining.

Sadly I didn't get to see my fav costumed person (I haven't seen this in the last 5 yrs actually)
This 300-400lb 5'2"?? person is brave enough to sport the slave Leia costume and of course is… wait for it,… wait for it,

a DUDE!!!!!!!

YES!!!! Hahahaha. Love it!!!! God I wish I had a picture to sneak onto my mother-n-law's fridge at X-mas <sigh>.

Here are a few of my favorite pics from WonderCon 2009. My son David held his own for the full three days:









Enjoying some time with Max Nagata (Mark and I were fighting Stormtroopers)









And, then the party Saturday night with Kazu:

Great pics of the Wondercon fun. Looks like your boy got lots of attention from the celebs and chicks.

Alex looks offended by SuperBlonde's SuperBoobs... but Josh's got the right idea. Thumbs up!

I was surprised that Mark Hamill looks more like the Sith Lord now that Luke Skywalker. Batman is also getting on up there.

Alex, offended? Hahahahahahaha! I would not mind being offended like that every day!

______________

I just remembered: check out Alex's shirt. That monster on it would make a fine Kayjoo!

You didn't get a pic of Erin Gray???

Looks like Alex was trying REALLY hard to hold in a fart in front of the superheroines.

Sigh. I wish I could get Princess Leia to rest her head on MY shoulder...well, 30 yrs ago.

who beat up Luke?

"A day before he was set to shoot one of the final scenes needed for STAR WARS, Hamill was in a car accident in which he fractured his nose and left cheekbone. According to STAR WARS producer Gary Kurtz, Hamill was in surgery from 9:00 am until 4 pm. As a result of the accident, a double was used for the landspeeder pickup shots."

yeah that was years ago..but who beat him up recently? aka he looks like he has a black eye (probably a shadow)

Plastic surgery doesn't age well... You have to keep getting it done to keep up appearances.

Just saying..
I've seen better costumed characters in my life.

nice shirt, alex.
