Comic-Con International 2009 - San Diego, CA - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Well what can I say? I quote Cass, "stars!" The ComiCon was an adventure and a half! In both Cass and myself's case, it was "It's a Mad Mad World," meets "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure," meets "Foster's Goes to Europe" all in one. The whole city was insane! Costumed and non-costumed fans all over the place. Parking was horrible, but we took pedal taxis (have a pic). It was the most wonderful experience I have ever had. I needed to get out of Arizona, and this was the way to do it.

My first and most important mission, was to meet Craig and Lauren. I was able to meet Craig in the morning, but Lauren was on the phone. I told him we were picking up another friend at the airport and would be back for signings at 1pm (See Lynnies story about Cass and I trying to meet up with her). Cass and I ran out to the airport to surprise her, with no success. We were cutting it close to signing time, so I illegally dropped Cass off to get sketches done for me and Lynnie. I spent 20 minutes looking for a parking spot which cost $30! I met up with Craig and Lauren finally, and wished her a Happy Birthday. I then had this taken (a little fuzzier than I liked, but good enough):

Some of Lauren's MWGG stuff (congrats on the toy store deals!). NOTE: Craig somehow got in the pic

Here is a ped taxi driver. Most of them are students; great way to get around in the city (note Cass trying to get in the pic - he too is so vain):

Later on, we all met up for a wonderful dinner. It was a pleasure meeting with ORD, Sparky, Government Man, Iceburg, Lynnie, and Cass. It was also a pleasure to meet the Frankie and Terrence plushy dolls! They get around geographically more than I do! All of you are great to hang out with. I hope to see many more you at the Con next year!
