Right now the closest I can get is watching Doug Benson's new documentary ChronicCon Episode 420: A New Dope.

yesterday it was still very crowded at 10 before I finally collapsed.

Today we are doing minions, the movie. We are doing AC. My legs are tired. Somebody stepped on my foot. I had sturdy shoes, it still looks like a very colorful tamale. (Swollen). Funny though, it most be soft tissue or something. It does not hurt at all. Oh this is a first by the way.

But I figured we gotta take it easy.

I can't believe he's going to be 93 in December.

we have had the opportunity to talk to him. I even did a game demo to him, and others in the comic industry.

As to his role...I am sure the President of Comicon would quickly contradict you. She is....PM me if you want some stories.

I should have wrote that his appearances at Comic-Con etc etc. You're right, of course, he had nothing to do with its inception.

Sure, I'd be interested in some fun stories, but I'm REALLY trying to shut down partially. I've had about three months nonstop of this Jason Bourne routine of two or more countries every day for my day job, and I haven't been 23 for decades. I need a break, which is why my wife and I trek 4000 miles to a place where I can't be recruited to be everywhere at once for a few weeks.

I managed a sci-fi/comic shop for some years and my best friend is VP of sales for IDW Publishing, which is why I get free My Little Pony comics and merch. (Yes I am a Brony and proud of the fact.)

It has become one of the biggest trade shows in the world. I go to CES every year and that is one of the few that is bigger. I remember when it was just a geekfest w/15-20K attendees.
