Conan's San Diego report

[mycomicshop]

My wife really wanted to see the Wilfred Panel with Elijah Wood. We got to the room early to be sure we could get in and have a good seat. In the same room during the previous time slot was Beavis & Butt-Head with Mike Judge, moderated by Johnny Knoxville.

 

They showed some devastatingly funny clips from the new episodes! Big fan of Mike Judge's humor and looking forward to new B&B episodes. In addition to doing commentary on music videos, now they'll also be talking over episodes of Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, etc.

 

My wife and I had met up with Alan (pedigreeman) and his friend Minh previously for lunch and a few pints of Guinness at the Blarney Stone Pub on 5th. Both are fantastic guys and we enjoyed getting to know them. Later, Pedigreeman was in line for B&B and was kind enough to see if we wanted to take his spot to get in for Wilfred later. Fortunately, we were already in the room, but it was very nice of him to think of us.

DC war collectors' dinner at Filippi's Pizza Grotto. I sat between Doc Watson (disarmingly charming) and Paratrooper (great guy to share a pitcher with). Among others, there's Bedrock, adamstrange, and Dale. Top of Watson's head at the bottom.

Met Paul (hope I'm remembering that right, please correct me if I'm wrong) at Toon Tumblers. They were busy the couple of times I passed their booth, despite having a somewhat awkward location.

My parents, Buddy and Judy Saunders. Somebody sitting near us at the Golden Age of the Fanzine panel had one of the fanzines that Buddy had worked on and asked him to autograph it.
