Dunno if it's related, but Mark Evanier says that a group called the Westboro Baptist Church will be at the Manchester Hyatt to protest Al Gore's appearance there Thursday (presumably because of his infidelity issue, but the group had planned this protest before that happened) and then make their way to the convention center to--as Mark tells it--just get some camera time for themselves when the TV stations cover the convention.

To get everyone into a further Comic Con state of mind, here is the annual Foxtrot CC related strip.

Same group as the loonies that Cartman414 mentioned. Think of them as a sideshow.

Howard and I are heading out to see the Arizona Crater shortly, to be followed by a barbeque later in the day. Turns out that the temperature varies widely in various parts of the state, although nothing below 90, except at night in a few spots. We encountered a few thunderstorms yesterday, and plenty of lightning. Heck of a light show.

I did arrive at the Ontario airport. Unfortunately, my luggage did not. It went to the other airport, the one I was going to go. I will be picking it up soon.

cartman414 · 07-18-2010, 02:19 PM

Well, it's good to hear that you're there in one piece, and I trust you've acquired your luggage since then.

One Radical Dude · 07-18-2010, 09:00 PM

Yep, I did receive the luggage. So I am definitely a happy person.

taranchula · 07-18-2010, 09:27 PM

Hooray.

For me it's one more of day of work, then a day of final preparations and then I'll depart on Wednesday morning to the wild wild west.

We went to the Arizona Crater today. Pretty impressive. Long drive both ways but definitely worth it. After that we went to the house of one of Howard's friends where, after some suspicions were dispelled, two dogs competed for my attention.

After that was a big meal of ribs, followed by a round of Wii-based bowling. I'm astonished that I did as well as I did. It continues to be distressingly hot but I'm managing well enough. More distressing were the four episodes of Johnny Test that we sat through. Sheesh, that show is as bad as everyone has said.

I have been a resident of AZ for a long time and never been to the Meteor Crator until yesterday. And yes, JT is horrible to watch, but it was the only thing on while we ate our ribs. "Lost Clause" will be airing on the "Christmas in July" event on CN.

If anybody plans on going to the beach in the next day or so, be careful. There are rip current conditions from Encinitas to Imperial Beach.
