I survived CAR-MAGEDDON ... Now it's Comic Con time!
Car-mageddon... No, not the old video game... This was the news and other folk having a bit of fun with the crazy appellations given to events--in this case, the weekend closure of one of the busiest freeways in the Los Angeles area (and the country)-- the 405, San Diego Freeway, running between the 10,Santa Monica, and the 101, Ventura. It sounds dry... and nasty given the amount of traffic in L.A. without any problems on the freeways, so the name, CAR-MAGEDDON was about the only fun thing to latch on to. I love that they were trying to put some humor into the situation, though. (and can laugh at themselves, since they really DO go overboard with sensationalizing the news at times)
Strangely enough, although everyone was thinking of getting out of the area for the weekend, I headed towards it... But, as reported... the car-pocalypse didn't happen (I'm sure because of all the hype about it). I stayed in all weekend, anyway. I hate traffic (which means I hate driving in L.A.).
................
Now, the San Diego Comic Con starts tomorrow (Preview Night-- Wednesday). I'll be sharing a booth with Diana Stein once again in the Fantasy Illustrators area (around entries F and G, I think). It'll be listed under LEE & STEIN or something like that.
As usual, I am totally, and I mean TOTALLY unprepared... Diana even broke e-mail silence to try and give me a friendly kick in the butt, but it sadly didn't work...
Oh, well.
I sucked at selling Girl Scout cookies, too.

I WILL be hauling along a doll (if I remember) of course, for the Panel/Meetup on Sunday... Not even sure which one. Gah. So pathetic...
