Re: SDCC 2017
Will you guys be doing something big this year? Isn't it the 10th year aniversary or something like that?

As for something big, I'm sure we'll figure something out.

Re: SDCC 2017
So when is a good night to get together? After the Valiant panel maybe? Or should we do a big lunch somewhere?
Or both?

Re: SDCC 2017
Either one is good ... I guess we have to get closer for the schedule but Friday night sounds good so long as wrunow is around.Blood of Heroes wrote:Wrunow flies in Friday, but I don't know what time.

Re: SDCC 2017
Trying to come up with ideas for a VFSDCCSH (scavenger hunt):
Get a dollar bill signed by Dino, Fred or Warren: 3 points
Signed by all three: 10 points
Bonus point if dollar bill is crisp: 1 point.
Get a picture with Levar Burton: 10 points
Get a picture with a guy who kind of looks like Levar Burton: 3 points
Point at a strangers chest (do not poke, that is assault if you are not Levar Burton) and shout: "Get it together!" 3 points (must be witnessed)
Take a picture of a Valiant book on a dealer wall: 2 points
Take a picture of a Valiant book in a bin: 2 points
Take a picture of someone wearing Valiant gear: 2 points
Take a picture WITH someone cosplaying as a Valiant character: 5 points
Any other ideas? Anybody in for this stupidity? I can throw together a really nice prize package but we'd need a few people to play.

Re: SDCC 2017
Planning on doing a beach day while there ... last year we went to La Jolla Shores. A lot of pasty rich kids wearing wetsuits there. What's a cool beach that's a little closer?

Re: SDCC 2017
Mission Beach or Pacific Beach (PB) would probably suit you. You could even walk from one to the other down the boardwalk since they're basically different ends of the same stretch of beach. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Ocean Beach (OB) is south of that but its separated from Mission Beach by water so you'd have to drive around to that one. The only reason to go to OB would be if you like to hang out with filthy stinking hippies and homeless people. Or if you are looking to score some drugs.

Glad you said that because from looking at a map Ocean Beach made sense.

Re: SDCC 2017
Funny last time I was there I was a pasty poor kid wearing a wet suit. Had a tiger? shark swim up 4 feet from me, thought it was a dolphin at first until it turned around.depluto wrote:Planning on doing a beach day while there ... last year we went to La Jolla Shores.

It's not that I don't have an avatar... I've just been working on it for the last few hundred years.

Probably a leopard shark. They show up in La Jolla every Spring (I think?) and draw a big crowd.Aram wrote:Funny last time I was there I was a pasty poor kid wearing a wet suit.

The usual reason .... not enough steak in the freezer.
And I'll give you a juicy kiss when I see whoever can tell me where I stole that line from.

Re: SDCC 2017
It's a great film with two very big actors who had never shared the silver screen together before his film. Funny bit of trivia is the fire and retreat scene from the heist with Val Kilmer in the back of the truck was so accurate that it is used as training footage for some military and police personnel, as how to appropriately reload, cover, and return fire.Jace wrote:Blood of Heroes wrote:That's surprising.
