Comic-Con has started putting out programming schedules! Oh happy day!
Comic-Con International is what I would describe as a geek mecca (not to be confused with a giant robot). Conventions by definition are a change of pace in our geekly sub-culture, but for the rural geek the contrast is beyond imagination.
Imagine trying to explain the specifics of Joe Quesada’s continuing crimes against the Marvel Universe to a random person in your town of a few hundred people. Now imagine a mile long building filled with 125,000 people and knowing that odds are good that any one of them not only know who Joey Q is, but understands exactly where you’re coming from.
For those of us that converse more over DSL lines than face-to-face, it is a very singular experience. One I recommend to anybody that can scrounge up a couple thousand bucks for the best week of geektastic fun of the year.
I will be there, of course. I may even update while I’m there (because I’m so good at that on normal days...)
