SDCC 2011

Just got back yesterday from another visit to the San Diego. This will have been my 4th time attending.

What did I get up to?

Well for the most part I just wandered aimlessly...
I did manage to chat briefly with the likes of David Lloyd, John Higgins, Mark Wheatley,Richard Starkings, Geoff Darrow ,Tharg (Matt Smith) and the one and only: Jordi Bernet(albeit through a translator). I also hooked up with an old art college mate: David Rabbitte, who was selling his wares...

At a restaurant I slipped our waitress twenty bucks to pass off a UXB comic to Grant Morrison who was sitting a few tables away from us.

Completely shameless! He probably used it as a coaster.

I was not surprised at all to see Slave Leia wandering around the con... however, I did not expect this:



Lot of sweaty nerds around that booth ...


2000AD represents!


...and finally- a little something for the ladies.

-and before you ask... No. That is not me.

...to colour

Thanks Jim!

Sail Away

Perfection:


So good, it's worth hearing twice:


Harry Nilsson's version is a must listen also:


Hey it's my blog!

Umbrellas

Detail of a splash page....and it is not UXB.

Summer in Vancouver maybe?

3 +10 = 13 - 3 = 10

I forgot to mention that last month this blog became 3 years old..

ALSO AS OF MARCH 2011 I HAVE BEEN IN VANCOUVER CANADA FOR TEN BLEEDIN' YEARS!!

I'LL SAY THAT AGAIN JUST FOR ADDED EFFECT :

TEN YEARS !!!!!!

CAPS LOCK ACTIVATED WITH BOLD LARGE TEXT HELPS TO VISUALLY IMPART MY GENUINE EMOTION AT RECOGNIZING HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED. NEED TO FIND WAY TO SLOW IT DOWN!!!!

OK THAT'S JUST GETTING ANNOYING ...

To celebrate the fact that my life-clock continues to tick down:

I put it to you that if I do not get at least 3000 comments on this post I will be shutting this blog down. Yes, I am that shallow! I have seen other bloggers threatening followers/casual readers with their blog's imminent removal unless they are duly recognized for the joy they obviously bring to their readers somewhat sad little existence (Lots of comments seems to validate ones self worth...)

Remember such posts of erudite and intellectual excellence as these:

Lubbert Speaks!

The Beef Delusion.

My First Death threat.

Fuccerham

Me Meme.

James Spader's Cock and Balls

You want to see posts of this type again?

This blog is in your hands (your grubby, unwashed little hands I might add...)


I love you all!

Relaxation Podcast with Matt Berry

Not a big fan of relaxation therapy; I always end up really agitated by the fact that I am supposed to actually lie still and do NOTHING. Expected to look at a white ceiling for an hour will just slowly make me very, very angry. The fact that I have a stain* on my bedroom ceiling that strangely resembles the face of a rather young Phil Collins doesn't help matters much either ... and believe me, having those beady little drummer boy eyes staring down at you for a prolonged period of time would make anybody angry! (Or possibly suicidal depending on your state of mind.)

Of course I could just close my eyes

..but I just don't trust that little bald headed bastard...take your eyes off him for a minute and he may start bloody singing!


In saying that, take a listen to the soothing dulcet tones of Matt Berry's podcast. You may feel strangely refreshed by the end :
