Overheard at San Diego, part 6
Saying this place is slowing down is like saying you’re better off landing from a plane with an umbrella in hand rather than nothing, but we’re game to hold out to the last…
Right outside the Slave Labor booth: "This is madness!" "THIS! IS! SAN DIEGO!"
Mark Evanier to Peter David at the Quick Draw panel discussing their respective weight losses: "Between the two of us, we’ve lost a complete Tony Isabella."
Warren Ellis on writing Lara Croft as a feminist icon: "In my story she’s stark naked, but she’s wearing an eighteen inch green strap on with the head of Chtulhu, so I figure I’m covered either way."
Melanie McFarland, TV reporter for the Seattle P-I, on ABC’s decision to blow the Lost surprises at the Television Critics convention instead of SDCC: "The very idea that a room full of socially awkward types who get paid to obsess over people and worlds that do not exist would be passed over in favor of a convention center stuffed with socially awkward types who obsess over people and worlds that do not exist — while wearing costumes! — was simply unacceptable. We are the true nerd herd, the gatekeepers of stupid information!"
More SDCC wrap-up as soon as we get back to the office!
Did those two guys lose weight? That's great. They were both a bit larger than life.And Mark Waid looked liked he, uh, weighed a bit less in the Boom video too.Good for everyone!(I could stand to lose a Myxyzptlk or two myself.)
That would be Mark and Peter I referred to… not those two silly guys with the spears…. not that there's anything wrong with that!
Thanks for clarifying, I was wondering…Yes, Mark and Peter have lost about 80-100 each since last SDCC.
Then that would be Tony Isabella and Trevor Von Eeden, combined.
