I had a ring. Fairly nice, too. It just didn't show up in the pics and I forgot to show it at all.

I also had an alternate mask from when I was Zorro years ago....should've gone with it, in retrospect. I may wear the costume one more time, so maybe you'll see the alternate version at some point.

...my friend who did his Mick Jagger impression for Adam West is on the right side of the pic.

Lulz at the expression from the guy on the right.

It looks like he's about to pass out from excitement. And you're like the Donald Trump of the comicbook world.

With G.I.Joe and Transformers coming out in'09, I hope there are some cool stuff at the NYCC next year.

Anybody going to the san diego comic con next year?

More pics from the same Con:

My friend with a life-size Vader made entirely of Legos

Same guy with Peter Mayhem (Chewbacca):

And yours truly with Adam West:

...West really didn't seem to care about being there. But hell, I saw him. And that pic is the only one we took where you can see my GL ring at all.

I see absolutely no pics/images in that post.

EDIT:

Strangely enough, I see them now.... weird.

Digi, what city do you live in?

I'd rather not say in public.

*PMs Scoob*

Also, it's Peter Mayhew. I wrote Mayhem....which, while a funny typo, isn't the correct name.

Here is a video I made for the first ever Long Beach Comic Con. Which took place last weekend. Enjoy!

Yep! In case you're wondering...that's Jeph Loeb there next to Stan Lee.

Oh, and I had a blast! Made some new friends. 😊

Zoinks! It's, like... Adam West! At the convention!

Nice video, WD. I liked the picture montage of costumes. That one WW was incredibly hot.

Thanks Digi! I believe she works for Golden Apple Comics. She's done WW and Zatanna in the past. When is your next event in your area?

I have to check, but the only Con within reasonable driving distance of me should be in a few weeks. It usually coincides pretty closely with Halloween, which is convenient from a costume perspective. My Doctor Who pants are currently being hemmed, which is the last step in this year's costume.

A sad day today for Comic Book Conventions fans. Shel Dorf died yesterday at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego. He was the founder of SDCC.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Shel Dorf, the founder of Comic-Con International in San Diego, one of the biggest comic book conventions in the world, has died at age 76, a spokesman said on Wednesday.

Dorf died Tuesday at a San Diego hospital, where he spent much of this year being treated for diabetes.

The first convention in 1970 was attended by only about 300 people, but this year Comic-Con International attracted more than 125,000 for what has become a gathering of comic lovers, movies and TV fans, and pop culture followers worldwide.

A fan of comic strips, Dorf for a time worked in comics and he was friends with many comic artists, including Jack Kirby. He created the comic convention with the help of friends, said David Glanzer, a spokesman for the convention.

"Shel had notable foresight in not only believing these people needed some public acknowledgment, but that this truly was an American art form that Americans knew very little about," Glanzer said.

Dorf was not directly involved in running the convention for the past couple decades.

He is survived by his brother, Michael Dorf. A funeral service for Shel Dorf was held on Wednesday.

🙁

Well, San Diego Comic Con 2010 is sold out for Saturday. Four day badges sold out back in October....fortunally I got mine early

😊

The one near my house was canceled. No '09 convention for Digi.

🙁

NO CON FOR YOU! 😛

You still have the New York Comic Con.

Here is a new video I shot for the Wizard World Anaheim Comic Con.

Good times. Though I felt bad for those chicks dancing. Do we really need to perpetuate the stereotype that dudes need to be looking at scantily clad comic book characters at these things all the time?

On a similar but contradictory note, lots of boobage in the video. A+

Yeah, those crazy DC fangirls. 😛

Thanks Digi! I appreciate your review.
