Comic-Con International 2010 - San Diego, CA - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

One Radical Dude · 07-10-2010, 01:19 AM

All right, people, it's that time again! Some of the NF people and I will be returning to San Diego in under two weeks from now to have many adventures at the convention. This will mark my fifth consecutive year in a row at the con. I'm going to try to post as much of what happened at the con as I can each day, and I'm sure Cass, t, Howard, BBF, and anyone else that will be there will share the experiences this year. I'm leaving on the 17th for CA, and I'll be in San Diego from July 20-26.. If anyone else is going to be going, please post here.

Wish I were but I've been subjected to a life story over the past couple of years which has been "Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?" I lived near San Diego as a kid and would love nothing more than to visit again, but perhaps another year.

That is so cool to live there as a kid. I was stationed there between 92 and 95. I miss it terribly, even though I am a 5 and a half hour drive away (AZ). Were you there (or near there) when PSA 182 went down?

To the others - y'all know I am going to be there - I am bringing Cass with me.

Obviously you already know I'm coming (fingers crossed). First time I came back in '08 was a great experience, a real eye-opener, and hopefully this time'll be more of the same. Looking forward to meeting up with everyone.

Nope. The family moved out here in 1965 after our dad passed away and we've been here since. As a kid I lived in Escondido for roughly three years.

I was just curious. Escondido is pretty (I liked it). San Diego was one of the greatest places I have ever been stationed in my Navy career (which was shortlived after a major injury).

I'll be going, naturally!

Just how I'll be going about it is a wild card, since for those of us going off on single day passes, we have to register for every day separately beforehand instead of all at once this time.

I'll get there one of these years... There are times when I hate living on the east coast. And being poor.

For those who may not know, I'm stopping at Howard's place for six days, then we're driving from there to San Diego for the Con. My flight is leaving at 9:15 AM tomorrow morning; I'll be awake all night, in the hope that I'll sleep better on the plane. Unconscious is the best way to fly.

After a layover in Detroit, I'll be landing in Phoenix around 1:15 PM local time, then spend about three hours poking around the area until Howard gets off work and picks me up. Hopefully I won't get lost in the meantime.

After that, the fun begins.

Y'all can expect plenty of pics after the trip, as usual, both on my profile page and in my dA gallery. Going to be a long vacation for me, but it'll definitely be worth it. Only a few set plans at present; mostly we'll play it by ear and see what comes up.

It's now a little after 6:00 AM; time to get going. Wish me luck.
