2009 San Diego Comic Con (Part 2)

Did you know that "Buck Rodgers" is 80 years old? Gil Gerard and Erin Gray were at the Buck Rodgers panel. There's new stuff coming up for Buck and Erin's daughter is the new "Wilma Deering" in the new adventures of Buck Rodger's. Seeing Gil and Erin brought back happy childhood memories.














That was about it for the panels that I attended. This year there weren't too many that I wanted to see. I guess I'm losing it and getting old to stay in the Hall/Room for a full 8 - 10 hour day. Chris did that for Ballroom 20 and Nelson got up pretty early to wait in line for "Lost" which Russell missed by that much.














Nourishment provided were sandwiches courtesy of Von's, Quaker Chewy Granola Bars and water. There was a Mexican restaurant near the condo that was the bomb. I had two lunches and a dinner there. It was profiled on FoodTV by Guy in "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives". The place was called El Indio. http://www.el-indio.com/ I had a carne asada, carnitas, and California burrito. The carne and carnitas were meat only with Ranchero Salsa and the California had carne asada, french fries and cheese. Yummy! On our last night we went for Japanese. My rice craving was sated.


























All in all I had a great time at comic con this year. But I think that a two or three year gap is good for me. The crowds are a bear but the atmosphere is joyous. I love seeing all the cool costumes and generous cleavage around. A shout out goes to Big Brother Rich, Chris, and Nelson for their generosity in making this amazing trek possible. Thanks for making the vacation and trip a memorable one.
