Anyway, I think it's time I end this post. Here's a picture of the Link Light Rail station in Seattle on the way home from the airport. It's hotter in Seattle than it is in San Diego right now. Usually I leave soCal thinking i'm going to get a break from the heat, but not this week. Highs are supposed to reach the upper 90's/lower 100's this week. yeowza.

Anigen had no idea where the party was so we had to guide him where to go to and everything. Squeef, Ansel, and I then met Anigen for the first time. Right after taking my picture with Pen, rtil arrived and we all took a group photo and then we talked.

We were very very very tired and realized we had to wake up in only 6 hours.
if you think San Diego is hilly, try walking around in downtown Seattle

it's intense
Hayao Miyazaki looks like the Kentucky fried chicken guy!
This post has me very excited for next year. I can't possibly me any more excited than I am now.
I was totally unaware of McCracken's contract. That REALLY sucks. I was REALLY looking forward to Cartoonstitute.
And it seems that Pen did a better job at promoting Cartoon Network than the Panel did. A beach party. That's low budget and effective. Why not do it?
And Kirbopher? He's still around?
I remember where he spawned around on the internet and his 'animations' caught on. Albeit, slowly.
Jeezus. I wish I had the money to go to Comic-con. But I have friends that can be unreasonable fanboys/girls. They all want to go to Akon. :/ though they did get this awesome picture of a Doctor Venture cosplayer. Not much else.
penn ward is looking pretty handsome
w0pp
i was there too but noone knew

oh i got alot of pics but most of em were for friday i will post those later
I hope I can get there next year, living in boston sucks, there's never any good cons on the east coast, the new york comic con is the only one I ever get to make it to, and it's tiny compared to the san diego comic con
Looks like you guys had fun.
Pretty sure I'm going next year.
lol kirb keeps looking scrawiner and scrawiner with every pic.

Oh man oh boy, I can't wait for Comic-Con '10 like everyone else. Great fun, great photos, great con.
poor tom probably had at least a dozen of those pitiful specimen approach him

this and the "I'm a lvl 9 newgrounder" "ok." is what makes the video hilarious.
I mean the conversation is just so incredibly awkward and boring, I love stuff like that. It makes me laugh to see how stupid some people are. If someone isn't good at smalltalk, like that kid, he should prepare at least 2-3 things to say. The only thing he thought of was "hey i want a poster".
i love how tom looks around its painfully uncomfortable
that video is the newgrounds booth in a nutshell. a lot of awkward kids coming by and realizing they have nothing interesting to say
Lmao is it really like that? Are most of the kids going to that booth like that?
If I was Tom I would probably stop trying to get a booth there (which probably costs money??) and just go there casually, to avoid all those extremely uncomfortable conversations.
I mean he tries to make a conversation but the kid in that video only answers with yes, yeah or no.

I think it's better to willingly have dumb conversations with awkward people than try to enjoy the con and be constantly interrupted by them - HEY IT'S TOM FULP! ...I AM A LEVEL 9 ON NEWGROUNDS
the swain was there every time we passed the ng booth
GLAIEL-GAMER IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS AFFRONINJA HAS CHALLENGED YOU TO A FLASHOFF
that kid was there with a megaphone yelling about game #3, he's become some kind of bizarre mascot

These stories have led to comparisons with Vlad III the Impaler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlad_III_the_Impaler) of Wallachia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallachia), on whom the fictional Count Dracula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Dracula) is partly based, and to modern nicknames of
the Blood Countess and
Countess Dracula.
well close enough I'd say.
I overread this a few days ago when I was looking at another article, so I assumed he was the actual guy.
