COMIC CON 09 -FRIDAY

Posted by Randy Kasugano at 12:18 PM


So now its Friday
Its 2:00am and so that left me 6 or less hours of possible sleep as i would wake up again to come back to Comic-Con within hours. But noooo, my dumbass stood up till 3:00am. 3 hours later my dad calls to wake me up to get ready for 8:00am. WHO THE FUCK TAKES 3 HOURS TO GET READY ANYWAY? So i go back to sleep and wake up at 8:00am. OH FUCK. No worries though.. I'll just slip on my new shirt THAT I CAN'T FIND. After the hustle, i'm at CC waiting for 9:30 to come. Its 8:20am and the place is already packed... But Sooooo many beautiful womenz. I swear its like the rule to have a skinny waist and big breasts to enter comic-con. Because these type of women out number the fat and flat people. So 9:30 comes and So i take a seat on a bench to see what time one of my japanese animus start. 10:00am?!?! WHAT!? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
Oh well... I'll just sit on the bench and look at this AMAZING view in front of me. Not of Women.. But the Downtown gaslamp. Occasionally i'll take a pic of a few passing cosplayers. But today was just a rest day from fucking up my limbs from walking for miles indoors. Just animu. All day. But i 7:00pm i was planing to watch the Dub premier of Ponyo whist Hayao Miyazaki talks about it. It was a once in a lifetime event. Hayao Miyazaki hasn't been in America since the promotion of Princess Mononoke. A snapshot of him with me would have made it a highlight of my life. So.. After all the study i did from learning the directions... I then find out that its premiering in HALL H. OH BOY! But when the time comes.... nothings happening... Its just a different panel of the Avatar movie (which was fun). The Avatar movie will be in Baysplosions vision. (Super CGI). ANYWAY... So now i find my self walking for miles finding the actual location... I see a line of people walking somewhere... Not just anyone, but Anime people. So i thought maybe they're going to Ponyo? So i follow. A mile later we're near a parking lot. And what happens? THIS LINE WAS GOING BACK TO THEIR CARS TO GO HOME! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
So i walk a few miles back to the convention.. and i walk another billion years to this hotel that was having a Comic-Con event. I see Asians and Hayao Miyazaki merch on them, so i'm like "FUCK YEAH, LETS GO GO GO!!". So now i'm at this fancy hotel. I see a line.. The glee on my face would suddenly burst into a WHAT THE FUCK as soon as i see that this event was for the Eisner Awards. To folks that don't know what that is -The Eisner Awards is the Grammy/Oscar equivalent to the Comic-Book. I would take a peak, but it was guests only. So as my hope exploded, i head back to the convention center... BUT FIRST, i'll take my Mocha frappuccino! Thank you Star Bucks. I needed that. So now i'm back at the convention center... I didn't really have anything else planned because Hayao Miyazaki was the rest of my day. So i sit into one of the anime rooms. I happened to be watching a dub showing of the movie "The Girl who leapt through time". I'm not going to explain it now, because this movie deserves it's own post. But this movie was probably the best movie i have ever seen. A standing ovation was had, and a new dvd was on my shopping list. Shit was so beautiful. I wonder if going to Ponyo would have been a worse experience... But i'm glad i didn't see it. If i did, i would have never seen this great film.
MOVING ON! If my night couldn't get any better, the anime showings were just FANTASIC.
Applauds to the premier of a new Fist of the North star was had, and HELLSING ULTIMATE WAS AMAZINGGGGGGGGG. I ended that night with some Ecchi. Headed home... and slept for another 3 hours.
