This woman was as bold as it got on Friday. Perhaps Saturday will be
better.

I knew I wouldn't be disappointed
The Ever Popular Bootlegger
There was a guy with a pretty nice assortment of bootleg DVDs, including
Howard Stern's Channel 9 show, the animated Star Trek and even Bionic 6.
To say I was tempted was an understatement, I'm just curious how it is
these guys are so brazen in their illegal activities. I feel guilty
taking a free pin.
Rizzo...out!
Day one is done for me. Truth be told, it was to be expected that it
would be a bit light. Tomorrow should be better.
Now I'll walk back to Penn for a train home. I'll post my post-lunch
notes when I can sit down.
My Big Bag O Swag
Thanks to the lovely people at TokyoPop, I have a shopping bag big
enough to smuggle midgets in. In it, I have a little bit of everything,
including, but not limited to various pins, posters, and other
promotional crap, as well as a couple of books (one of which is the
novelization of V for Vendetta), a Bettie Page sticker, a temp tattoo
from a novelist and a few DVDs. For what you spend to get in, you sure
get your share of free stuff.
Se7en Comic on the way
This summer, a new story John Doe will be told in a 7-issue miniseries
from Zenoscope.
For those wondering...
The lonely table is for Karen Lynn Gormley of Saturday Night Fever
"fame".
Plus, the place is starting to smell a bit.
Incredibly...
The booths with the half-naked women get the most attention. Wish the
dvd content was a tad higher, though it's still early.
X-Men Minimates DVD
Available in a pack of four toys, this animated movie actually looks
kinda cool. It has a bit of a Lego Star Wars feel to it.
Tidbits
Stopped by Lionsgate, and they said expect Hard Candy about 4 months
after the theatrical release.
Anime is the king here though, with plenty of studios on hand. No real
freaks yet though. My swag bag is growing though.
First Costume of the Day!
Yeah, the photo has a real Bigfoot in the woods feel, but you can make
her out. If it's a she.
I'm official
I've got my badge, and now, I wait. So far, the freaky-freaks haven't
appeared, but it's only a matter of time. After all, the doors don't
open to the public until 4.
I must say, so far...unimpressed. But it is early.
Oh yeah, they just added Jason Mewes to the line-up. Snoogans.
Heading West
I'm on my way to NYC, on the unfortunately scheduled 9:11 train. It's
wicked cold out, but the train is toasty warm.
I actually just ran into a guy I used to work with, and oddly enough,
he's driving the train. Plus, there was actually an excellent spot
available at the train station. Looks like today is off to a decent
start.
