Green Lantern

We were there and we LOVED this kid. Oh my goodness. And, I love Ryan Reynolds. :)

More (More) Thursday At The Con

I'm not gonna bore you with too many more celebrity photos , but here are just some of the people we saw on panels in Hall H on Thursday: Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren (I want to be like her when I'm 60 please), Sylvester Stalone, Aaron Eckhart, Angelina Jolie, J.J. Abrams, Michelle Rodriguez, Joss Whedon, Liev Schreiber, Dolph Lundgren, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Michael Cera, Jason Schwartzman, Mary Louise Parker, Kieran Culkin, Scott Bakula, Mae Whitman . . . and more. It was a celeb fest on Thursday.

Mary Louise Parker is lovely.

This is Michael Cera. Seriously. He is delightfully dorkish. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is going to be amazing.

We had dinner at the Studio Diner. Delish.

More Thursday At The Con (TRON!!!!!!!!)

OH MY GOODNESS. My geek is on. Tron is going to be amazing. For those of us who were children of the 80s it doesn't get much better than this. And we got to be entertained by The Dude himself. Love him.

Plus, Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer sat by us. :)

Thursday At The Con

It's been a looooong day, and I'm tired, but I thought I'd at least get started with the Thursday blogging before I go to bed.

We started out the day with a run, watching the city wake up next to the port. It was lovely.

Then the mayhem began. Today we spent the day in Hall H, which is comic-con's famously huge venue full of celebrity panels and previews. It was AWESOME. I'm only going to post about the first little bit, then I'll get some sleep in and post some more tomorrow.

Here we are standing in line to get in to Hall H, sporting our t-shirts for the day:

And here's my favorite costume so far:

The first panel was Megamind. Will Farrell showed up in a hand-made, ridiculous looking costume. He was hilarious. Tina Fey and Jonah Hill were there, along with a cardboard Brad Pitt. We got to see some clips of the movie, which is going to be INCREDIBLE.

Mwaaaa (sporting my lovely 3-d glasses). More posts to come!

Comic-Con Preview Night (otherwise known as The Night Worthy's Head Exploded)

El Indio Restaurant for dinner

Kate and Little Worthy, look who me met (and he's made out of legos)!

Want to see what pure joy looks like? Worthy up close and personal with his favorite comic book authors and writers.

one of many t-shirts to come

Every attendee was given one of these awesome bags from Warner Brothers. Good for all of the free stuff.

Worthy perusing the schedule.

COMIC-CON!!!!!

We're here! Worthy is beside himself with joy. The whole city of San Diego is crawling with giddy, proud-to-be-geeky people. So much fun.



I'm determined to stay in touch and blog just a little bit, since I know when I get home life will take over and it will never get done. Right now we have a 5 second window of down time, so I thought I would post our first 2 adventures, Diners Drive-Ins And Dives style:

Last night we ate at The Standard Diner in Albuquerque. I have been there before, but Worthy had never experienced it. It was lovely. Worthy had the bourbon burger with sweet potato fries and I had bacon-wrapped meatloaf (which was really, really good. really). Totally worth the 5 miles I ran on the treadmill this morning.

There are 6 little places in San Diego featured on Guy Fieri's show (so far), and we are planning to visit them all while we're here. Today we had lunch at a great little hole-in-the-wall called The Blue Water Seafood Market And Grill. They have fresh, grilled to order fish. YUM. I absolutely loved this place, and I don't even necessarily have to run 5 miles tomorrow.


Tonight is Preview Night at the Con, an event that only a few of us lucky (and early) ticket holders get to be a part of. We're headed there in a few minutes, as soon as I can get my Wonder Woman outfit on. . .
