San Diego Comic-Con 2007 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

One Radical Dude · 07-28-2007, 01:12 AM

It was a great day at the con. The Foster's panel (as well as Billy and Mandy) was a total blast, and I wore my costume right after it ended. People took plenty of photos of me, as well as Mac and Frankie. I also had a bit of fun with Keith Ferguson (I will provide the videos, as soon as I can). Some of us went for burgers afterwards for lunch. Then, I went back to the exhibit hall to just hang around. Once the exhibit hall closed, I kinda wandered around and stuff. I ran into Keith again, and I chatted with him again for about 15 minutes. After that, I went to the Worst Cartoons Ever event hosted by Jerry Beck. That was bad!

Unfortunately, Grey DeLisle won't be around Saturday (she'll still be around for the El Tigre deal on Sunday)

Just been reading up on what's been happening, I'm glad to hear that for the most part, everyone's been having a great time there.

Sorry to hear about Taranchula's luggage episode, though.

Sounds like it was / is a good event. I wonder when we'll get the new episodes here in the UK ?

And the prospect of a Foster's movies sounds cool

Taranchula, hope you get everything sorted

Yes. I loved it. The Moon Mullins cartoon was the first since the Filmation Droopy cartoon in 2004 to get booed by the crowd.

So far today, I took a brief trip by trolley to get something to drink/eat (I got up just after 8 AM). I went to see the "Who Wants to be a Superhero" panel with Stan Lee. Man-Faye was among the people to ask questions there.

Also, I caught Keith for one last time, talked to him very briefly, and gave me a friendly hug before leaving SD. I went to see a Voice-Over Actors panel (part 1 of 2), with featured actors, such as Rob Paulsen (which I got a photo with him after it was over, my second time to meet him), Joe Alaskey, and others. I wandered around a bit more before going back to the hotel room. Soon, I'll be going to see the Futurama panel, go to one other panel, and then see the Masquerade. Oh, and I also have pre-registered for 2008 Comic-Con (I'm such a geek).

More to come later.

That was you in the Bloo costume ORD? Oh man, I thought it might have been someone else, so I didn't ask if it was you. I definitely remember meeting jetbaby and CG there. I might have seen others, but wasn't about to ask every single person I saw if they were part of this forum.

Anyways, I am back from my final day of the show this year. Great Billy & Mandy/Foster's panel from Cartoon Network. Also enjoyed the booth that Craig and Lauren had. I actually found myself really digging the whole Milky Way & the Galaxy Girls concept, and got a copy of the book. Aside from the autographs, I got a couple nifty sketches of my favorite characters from both of their shows: Eduardo by Craig, and Bubbles by Lauren. Came around perhaps just a little too frequently to ask questions beyond that, and was a little slow at that too.

(I'm a bit of a scatterbrain at times, and I guess within the packed din of the center, it couldn't be helped anyways.) At least they've been taken care of now, making any potential future meetups a lot more prompt. Even the voice acting advice, which I thought they would have a more input on given a couple of the unique circumstances (i. e. character creation of Cheese) but didn't have that much on, helped quite a bit.

But that wasn't the only sweet panel I hit up. Although I came a little late for the whole thing, the Shin Chan panel, which I went to prior, was typically hilarious. Shockingly (or not), there was some stuff the English adaptation writers came up with that was too obscene to go through their own senses of good taste.

Following the Foster's panel I went to the preview panel for Chuck, the new show from Josh Schwartz of the OC. The first episode, which was screened at the intro, was unexpectedly hilarious and quite thrilling. Think Alias meets the Office, or some other [insert action/spy thriller] meets [insert workplace comedy] metaphor. So yeah, I would recommend at least checking it out when it debuts on NBC in a couple months.

And today I checked out the Simpsons and Futurama panels, both of which were great. I only wish I wasn't late to the latter due to the incredibly long line, which led to me missing the preview clip(s) during the beginning. Not to mention that I stupidly missed today's voice acting panel.

Anyways, I enjoyed it on the whole, and was inspired to really begin chasing my own dreams.

Yeah, I did wear the Bloo costume, but I believe someone else here that occasionally posts here does, too (Waynekaa or someone in his group does). Did you get any photos?

No, I didn't really take any photos.

narfcake · 07-29-2007, 08:58 PM

Here's one (and alas, the only one I have) of the trio ...

On another note, both Bloo's managed to create so much chaos after the panel that Craig and Lauren escaped without too much incidence.

(If anyone was wondering, I was the one wearing a white ringer shirt with the original 2004 promo design on Friday ... and mostly a variety of Animaniacs and Powerpuff shirts the rest of the weekend.)

Ccook50 · 07-29-2007, 02:09 PM

I was at the Sunday panel with Jess Harnell, Maurice LaMarche, April Stewart, Greg Burson, Michael Bell and Tom Kenny. Hilarious stuff. I wanted to go to Qualcomm and make fun of the American Idol wannabes but I'm pooped and I have an 8 AM flight back to Atlanta to catch. (If you've heard the Geico radio spots with Smokey the biker, that's Greg Burson.)
