[Dr. Ray Stantz]

SO maybe I'm just being retarded, but have we determined where everyone is meeting up yet? Regardless, I'd like to go ahead and say that I'll be there. It will be my first year attending, and unfortunantly I am one of the GB horde that does not have a ticket, but am going to hang and see shtuff outside anyway. I'm too close this year to not just go. So count me in.

[jettajeffro]

I would like us to meet up inside most likely and venture onwards. The exact location is still being determined. Most likely the Mattel booth as I'm sure they'll have GB figures etc on display. It's usually a large and easily spotted booth.

[Dr. Ray Stantz]

And what of those without passes? i noticed a few people notice theyre just going for the festivities. unfortuantly thats me unless i can score a pass there.

[jettajeffro]

At the worst you can meet us outside on the docks or at the restaurant. I'll put my number out before the con for anyone that will need it.

[jettajeffro]

[Vincenzo330]

I'll be there thursday.

Yeah... as a woman MWAHAHAHAH!

[usagiagujero]

well of course i'll be there, im so excited my 1st con and i get to go with all you guys all dressed up hells yeah

[Fifthrider]

I just found out that I'm going to be there Saturday too.

...and apparently I'm supposed to be somewhere specific at a specific time. `:-\




I will amuse the fans by seeing how many Mini-Mates I can shove into my nose.

[Vincenzo330]

Does that mean I can come and take my picture with you? How about if you wear the GB2 Santa hat so I can sit on your lap and tell you all about what I want for Xmas

[xtrmn8r17]

i wanna go on sunday... i hear all the best deals are on sunday =\

[Midorikai]

Ok soooo! since several people have asked me..I was going.. then something happened and I couldnt go.. BUT I made some Magic Happen So I CAN be there! dont count me at a 100% JUST yet though. I have a ton of things to do with work and if I dont get them done or I get promoted in that time I wont be there (because work takes top billing right now since i got a fabulous job finally!!).. and if not I will 100% be there next year

[Vincenzo330]

A few Sunday tickets just went on sale if anyone's interested.

[Dr. Ray Stantz]

So as of right now ill definantly be there on Thursday as i was able to nab some passes. may or may not pop up another day or two just to maul around.

[jettajeffro]

So at this point I think we need to finalize plans before people start their journeys to the con. The Old Spaghetti Factory won the voting poll.

Thursday of SDCC 7/22/2010
2:00 PM
Screen-Used Ecto-1 at Hot Wheels/Mattel booth
Meal following at Old Spaghetti Factory around 2:30-3:00 range

After that we can head outside and down the street to Old Spaghetti Factory. Hopefully fifthrider and his group can join us and we can see his Ecto outside.

If you miss the group, get there late, etc. either call or text me, Jeff Lewis, at 602-550-7016.

I'm looking forward to this, and as I mentioned somewhere around here, I'd like to mix the groups up at the meal so we all have a chance to talk shop with members not on our respective teams. If there's any major concerns about the meet-up time, place, etc let me know.

[GB Ty]

So is the screen-used Ecto 1 display the meet-up area? I"m just double checking. More than likely I won't be attending the lunch, that probably won't come as a big surprise to some of you. But I'll mostly be hanging in the convention center, this is my very first time and I know jack-crap about. it There is a question I've been meaning to ask though, does anyone a have a general estimate as to how long one would have to wait in line to the entrance? Thanks for any help on that.

[Vincenzo330]

You don't wait to get in Ty, you wait to pick up your badge. Get there an hour or two before it opens and bring a PSP and you'll be ok.

[GB Ty]

Well the only portable game I have is a Nintendo DS, lol. Anyway thanks for the answer. As it is I have to wake up at 3am and leave at 4 to make it at 8. We can only afford making it a day trip.

[jettajeffro]

I do hope we get to see you Ty. Yes, the Mattel booth in general will be the spot I'd like to meet. As mentioned, the main line is the line to get your pass, there might be another line to get in the hall but it depends on how you time it.

[Vincenzo330]

I am in total disbelief, Traveler Of Games just posted this on facebook.

"Apparently, the Westboro Baptist Church is going to be outside the Comic Con Convention Center protesting on the 22nd around 1:15pm-2:00pm. If anyone is coming late (instead of being there at 10am like you are suppose to be!), please avoid this time."

Personally, I would love to throw something at that inbred hillbilly Fred Phelps, something like a hand grenade perhaps. If you have a strong stomach take a look at the picket schedule


STAY OUT OF MY CITY CREEPS!!!

[Boomerjinks]

You won't be throwing anything at Fred Phelps.

There will probably be six people there from WBC, half under the age of 10. It's actually kind of sad.



edit - From chat:
In a place as busy as san diego, one of two things will happen. They will either have their own location designated by police, a certain distance from the convention, or, more likely, they will just pick a corner that they believe has enough traffic and stand around for a bit. In Denver, we were prevented from being on their side of the street. But it wasn't a busy street. In boulder, people stood shoulder-to-shoulder with them with funny signs. Basically, they want people to bump into them so they can shout "assault!" or throw soda cups at them so they can file suit against you. They will then take your money and use it to fund the church.

I honestly thought it was going to be a really heated and intense thing, protesting them, but in reality, there were only 5-6 of them, each holding like 4 signs, with little kids stomping on flags. Their rage is directed at everything, so it kind of loses its potency. I felt bad for them, kind of. You know what I mean. I honestly felt bad for the kids. They are far from being some evil empire. They are not a worthwhile adversary. Going to see them for yourselves is probably important, because it will help you be less angry and realize that they are just wasting their lives.

Where ya been? You didnt know about this? Pssssh! This is so OLD news. I heard about it on the radio longz ago, and yes..i spelled it "longz" with a "Zee".. They mentioned the website godhatesfags(dot)com and I just had to see what was going on. It cracks me up what they said....


"San Diego Convention Center 111 W Harbor Dr. WBC to picket Comic Con 2010 at the San Diego Convention Center. Are you kidding?! If these people would spend even some of the energy that they spend on these comic books, reading the Bible, well no high hopes here. They have turned comic book characters into idols, and worship them they do! Isaiah 2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. It is time to put away the silly vanities and turn to God like you mean it. The destruction of this nation is imminent - so start calling on Batman and Superman now, see if they can pull you from the mess that you have created with all your silly idolatry."


Anywho, yeah they r crazies

[jettajeffro]

Well if any of them are carrying "The End Is Nigh" signs, it'll make for great pictures.

[Vincenzo330]

Oh man Jeff I think you just gave me a great idea.

[xtrmn8r17]
