Geekin it up: Part II

This is Part 2 to the ongoing series of Comic-Con goodness.
I would suggest scrolling down and hitting the first part up to begin with so that the posts regarding this geekfest has more of a natural progression...cause starting with Erin Grey may cause awesomeness overload....or boredom...im pretty sure there is a fairly narrow interest in these kind of posts....you know...comics and stuff.


Erin Grey of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" Fame. I sure she has been in some other things over the years (Silver Spoons being one of them if i recall right) but lets be honest, she will always be the hot chick in the skin tight sparkly space uniform who conversed with a poorly designed robot named Twiggy. Yeah, thats right, i remember the robots name....Comic Con? me going to it?....yeah.....i fit right in.


Bruce Campbell, the man, the legend. He passed by me to buy some junk and i snapped a quick picture of him. He was keeping a pretty low profile and moving as fast as he could. Comic-geeks are notorious for not being able to focus on fast moving objects and im sure he was well aware of that genetic defect as he sped past the throngs of fans weaving and dodging. Trial and error on his part i suppose. Bruce Campbell in all his B-Movie glory is to the Comic-Con goer as the Beatles were to underage screaming girls. He and i both realized right after my flash went off that i had blown his cover and i saw the panic in his eyes as heads turned instinctively towards the bright light. He was gone just as fast as he came. Yeti would have been proud.


We (both of my brothers and I) were all pretty geeked out when we happened upon a booth that was giving away free "Greatest American Hero" comics. It was a call back to my childhood watching TV on friday nights with my family...in comic form. We spoke to the booth attendant about how we loved this show and inquired a bit more about the comic to which the booth attendant replied "well, why dont you just go ask William Katt and Robert Culp, they are sitting right over there and signing the comics". Yeah, thats right, the stars of the show were sitting kitty corner from the booth. My brothers and i jumped up and screamed with girlish joy. Travis even began to do a little giddy dance that, when pressed, I'm sure he would be willing to do it again to show you his excitement. Autographs were had, praises to these men were given, and a photo-op was the outcome....great ending to a fun-filled day.

Geekin it up once again...Comic Con style: Part 1

Cort and some random vampire chick promoting the sequel to "30 Days of Night". Im guessing its not going to be as good as the first considering the first kinda sucked monkey balls. Either way it she was pretty creepy to look at and it was one more opportunity for Cort to practice talking to girls who are completely uninterested in him.


Eric Estrada took a break from promoting real estate on infomercials to pencil a Comic Con in?....yeah confusing for me as well...and a just a dash of sad rolled in there also.


Cort wasnt as excited to be in my pictures as he was last year, so here he is questioning the point of it all, perhaps swirled with a bit of anger at the notion of me forcing him to do something so beneath him....then again it was a couple of star wars guys dressed up as generic troops. Basically they spent hours upon hours and most likely a few hundred bucks to be "background extras"...whats the point.


Travis was geeking it out to a few people on the street dressed as "V" soldiers. You know..."V"...the series...reptile people come to earth to harvest humans for food....ringing any bells? yeah, thats why there was no one else around taking pictures with them. Anyway, I really enjoyed the series.



Travis with 2 gals dressed up as the stars of "Avatar, the Last Airbender" series. Its a cartoon....and it rocks......i watch cartoons...what of it?

Ok, its been a while....piss off.

A little belly-bound boy pulling charlie's hair and giggling. One would think that Charlie would just stand up and walk away, but alas, his only reaction is to sit, cry and point showing all of us his excellent coping skills to real world scenarios.


The boys went to a strawberry farm as part of some field trip for Simon's pre-school....i think. To be quite honest, i dont really remember as more updated and relevant information is now occupying that portion of my brain. Here we see Charlie explaining to the strawberries that men over 30 should really get themselves checked out on a regular basis and then he began to show them in lurid detail how to self-check themselves. He just cares that much. Makes a father proud.


Simon wants to show how fat on strawberries charlie has gotten. He accomplishes this by holding him and trying out some new form of reverse CPR which seems to not affect charlie at all. I think the desired end result Simon was looking for was perhaps a bit of strawberry mixed with bile concoction exploding from Charlie's mouth which, fortunately for Melissa, did not happen.


Extensive tests regarding my theories that children are nothing more then drunk midgets have finally begun to produce results. Case in point....
