Tom went down to the convention early this morning, so no back and forth between Oscar and Felix to report. That’s okay, I think we’re all pretty tired.

I think this is the last year I’m going to attend Comic Con in the capacity of spectator. The panels have been great, and I’ve been fortunate enough to meet a couple of neat people, but I’m ready to start creating. I’m going to check into tables for 2004 today. I heard you can get an artist-alley table for free. That might not be the best placement, but it certainly is the best price. So here’s my plan. Pick a story/character and stay with it. Do one single issue and then a 72 page trade. Have the trade ready by San Diego 2004. I’ve said it, it’s in print, so it must come to pass.

Good times with Chad, Lashara, Tom and Steve. I finally got my reclusive self into “The Field”, a very … cozy … Irish pub in the gaslamp district. Many people go there each night, in fact, that’s the place where Steve saw Judd Nelson last year. Great fun, and the lamb stew was killer.

Hey I forgot to mention 2 celebrities I saw. One was Brian Posehn, comedian and actor on Just Shoot Me. He was walking by us as we left our restaurant. Then, I’m not totally sure, but I think I saw Lou Pearlman at Joe’s Crab Shack. He’s the guy that “discovered” the Backstreet Boys and N’sync. It may have been just another balding chubby white guy, but he was definitely smooth talking some Asian couples and interrupting his trophy wife, in the parlance of our times.
