New York Comic Con 2008, Jacob Javits Center.



The prerequisite, insanely-long line to get in. This is only because everyone shows up before the doors open, apparently -- a couple friends don't show up until about an hour, hour and a half later, and they're able to just walk right in.



Birds of Geek, Denise and Amy.



Ryan.



Ryan killing Spano.



Mitch.



The inimitable Vampire Cowboys theater troupe put on a few very cool stage-fighting demos.







Kaiyodo/Revoltech's new hentai...excuse me, "Fraulein" line.



Seeing their new Regult and YF-19 figures in person gets me all excited, though.



I keep wandering past their booth waiting for the (I think) inevitable "5 o'clock discount"; unfortunately, it is never to be.



Table full o' Heroclix.



Priscilla with Jim Butcher.



Battlestar Galactica panel, with surprise guests Michael Trucco (Sam Anders), Rekha Sharma (Tory Foster), and Michael Hogan (Saul Tigh).



Gypsy.



Straight outta Jersey, it's Unemployed Skeletor! Here with Kathleen...



...and Jimmy.



Edwina.



Kristen.



T.J.



Jeff.



Jay.



Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer on CNI - how cool is that? Urbaniak drops in later, too, while I'm in the middle of the screening of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, unfortunately (good movie, by the way).





Mike and Eileen.





CONN!!



Heroes action figures looking pretty keen.







Grunberg!



Enjoy the weather, guys -- next year it's back to February.


(Not pictured: Milo Ventimiglia, who apparently EVERYBODY sees/runs into but me; inappropriate Robin (one of several), and Jay and Grant from Ghost Hunters, whose hands I shake but whose pictures I do not take -- they look both lost and late.)

Insane fog over the East River this morning.



You can just make out the Manhattan Bridge in the distance. Note that the ENTIRE Brooklyn Bridge is completely enshrouded in fog, just gone.

Congratulations to Mitch and Jenn!


RBNY opening night match against Columbus, Giants Stadium, Jersey.







We win, 2-0.



Click here to see an odd, possibly pornographic, certainly inappropriate sticker stuck on the back of one of the vans belonging to a teen- and pre-teen boys' daycamp that parked next to us (the writing, according to Laura, reads: "The last one is the one who pays").

"I've built a lot of castles
I've built a lot of blazing speed-of-light machines
But it doesn't matter, you know
They all crumble in the winds of change



"So I turned back to breathing
I learned a few good reasons to cry
And I finally called home
Praying you weren't out of range



"I'll carry the weight
I'll carry the weight of you, I swear
I'll carry the weight
I'll carry the weight of you...."

- Vienna Teng
"Enough to Go By"






Friday.

Kelle's birthday, Mama Mexicana, Upper West Side.





(possibly the last of the March birthdays, but one can never know for sure.)

Happy birthday, Laura.

(Another birthday!)




Guy getting his hair cut a couple chairs down from me won't take out his earphones, which I can't imagine isn't a rude thing to do. The hairdresser asks him what he's listening to. "Miley Cyrus," he answers. "'Hannah Montana'?" he adds, helpfully. He's like 40.

Dagfinn and I take Lana out for her birthday, which was on Tuesday. Dinner at Gonzo, drinks at...the Guitar Hero bar on Greenwich Ave. (Treehouse?, née Caffe Dell Artista, RIP and sigh).



I always feel like everyone I know's birthday is in November and December. Now it seems like everyone's birthday is in February and March.



Lana's camera is much nicer than mine.
