LIVE from COMIC-CON 2008

Howdy folks,

I'm surrounded by Storm Troopers, Anime babes, Batmen, and locked & loaded gunmen from Umbrella Corp. Them, and plenty of talent scouts, studio execs, fifty thousand news crews and little shaggy-haired fanboy spawn reading comic books. A guy just walked past wearing cardboard/sharpie signs announcing that he IS, in fact, hiring "2D and 3D Animators". Oh, yes. The fun continues.

I've talked to a Disney Studios talent scout, a guy who started his own graphic novel series, and another dude who's trying to create a multi-platform story world through webisodes, comic books and lotsa merch. His series is called "The Red R". More on that later.

This event is truly mind-blowing. I've never even conceived the ability to market this much STUFF at once to this many people. Times Square, Universal City Walk - they don't come close. I've got so much swag I'm thinking about wallpapering my room with it.

Anyway, I'm going to re-emersh myself in the sweet, sweet womb of the exhibit hall now. I'll take some pics & hopefully meet some more of the 100,000+ people that swang by.
