Many of my most significant memories of 2010 involve Comic-Con (both San Diego and New York). Here are the highlights. In no particular order: |
|
Panels |
The White Collar and Psych panels were awesome, but my favorite was the Rifftrax panel (moderated by the awesome Veronica Belmont), which included a hilarious live riff of a ridiculous short called "Buying Food." |
|
(SDCC) Geek Girl Supreme Veronica Belmont and the Rifftrax guys. |
|
I got to meet the riffers (Rifftraxers?) themselves, Mystery Science Theater 3000 alums Michael J. Nelson, Bill Corbett, and Kevin Murphy. |
|
(SDCC) With Kevin, Bill, and Mike from Rifftrax. What's up with that look on my face? |
|
|
People |
|
* Todd Stashwick, who isn't anything like Dr. Scott Borman, and Dennis Calero, who is. (Just kidding, Dennis.) |
|
(SDCC) Todd Stashwick and Dennis Calero: partners in evil. |
|
|
Dennis Calero's rendering of Todd Stashwick's Heroes character Eli as the Three Stooges. |
|
|
|
* Stephen Tobolowsky. I was disappointed to learn that he can't turn things to gold in real life. |
|
(SDCC) Ned Ryerson? Bing! |
|
|
* The evil great David H. Lawrence and the lovely Mia. |
|
(SDCC) In the clutches of the Puppet Master. |
|
|
* Foz McDermott. Hell of a guy. |
|
(SDCC) "The Mighty Foz" himself. |
|
|
* Milo Ventimiglia. The guy knows how to handle a camera. |
|
(SDCC) Milo sporting the crewcut, and me looking goofy. |
|
|
(NYCC) Milo's hair is longer, and I am looking goofier. |
|
|
|
* Brea Grant. Wonderful, as advertised. |
|
(NYCC) One of these days, someone will take a picture of
Brea and me in which I actually look halfway decent. |
|
* Brea's brother Zane is awesome in his own right. |
|
(SDCC) With the Grant siblings. (Note to self: wear smaller shirts.) |
|
|
* Interviewing Brea and Zane at NYCC was definitely one of the highlights of my year. |
|
(NYCC) Awesomeness runs in the Grant family. |
|
|
* My Twitter peeps at SDCC. Notably absent is @TsarMaxii, no doubt off doing something involving either bacon or murder. Or both. |
|
The Convention Center fell to our superior numbers. |
