Best Con moment from C2E2

Juan was proving certifiable badassery with his knowledge of Chicago gangs.

Not that there's that much to know really...you're a King or you're a wop...er, mafia. *is wop*

After the Kevin Conroy panel it took all the stones I had, just to walk up to Kevin and say "Hi Kevin, *shakes hand* I'm a HUGE fan and was wondering if I could get a picture with you." Thanks to Kwhack for taking the pic.

KWhack: Kevin, this is actually Spider-Man
Kevin Conroy: *exctied and looks at me.* REALLY?!
Me: ..I.uh.....uh.....

Then the picture lined formed!

LOL!! I do know more then I should about gangs in Chicago.

You're without papers?

OOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I also like the fact that as Spidey, once I changed back into Peter (I'll never get used to me saying that) it was nice not to be stopped every five seconds to get a picture taken.

Close enough, but that's because I'm all digital baybeee!

...actually, I'm semi-Italian. eep!

The applause at the end of the PoP! video at the panel gave me a wettie.

Rick Marshall from MTV SplashPage giving PoP! some major compliments.

Giving Jim Lee Strawberry/Peanut Butter M&Ms and then him tweeting about it.

speaking of bangers... I saw a few at the con trying to hit on every girl with a costume on that looked hot. It was funny to see them get shot down but it was hilarious when one of them bumped into Kearstin's boyfriend, Mike, and asked for her phone number. Mike and I were just standing there laughing at this kid with the fro lookin like a fool with his pants on the ground.

Yes, I did sing it after he left. It was fucken hilarious.

You guys were Robbed!!

wait a minute, the kids won right? Didn't they have the kids costume contest earlier? Shouldn't this have been a DQ?

I DEMAND A RECOUNT C2E2!

One of my suggestioins to them was to do a seperate kids contest. There was no seperate contest for the kids and adults this year,

Thanks, Tito...

You guys remember that time that we drank all those beers? Yeah..... that was awesome.

Oh man, yeah, and we talked about pop culture and tits. That was awesome.

I dont remember drinking beer so much.

Remember that time I made a joke? That was pretty awesome.

Oh and by the way Eli, I was in the Indian-run Tobacco store next to my work today purchasing a Mt. Dew, and happened to look into their glass nic-nac case and see an entire box of corn-cob pipes for sale. DickButt cosplay group next year?

I would rock a Dr Magnus costume.

i wish i wasnt sick over tha weekend, cuz just about every time i was goin to laugh (which was quite often) it would turn into a cough lol.

this con was also funny in tha respect that it reminded me of my first con, wizard world chicago 2005 becuz there was so much goin on, i didnt know what to do lol. that first one, i was so overwhelmed by everything, and wit this one they just had so much i wanted to do, sadly i couldnt do it all, but thats a problem i didnt mind havin. rather have too many options than done at all (lookin at u chicago comic-con 2009 )

Interviewing Guy Davis and Gail Simone (sorry, Rob)

Getting to meet most of my fellow Pop Stars and the awesome PoPulation in the flesh for the first time ever.

Being introduced to the Jurassic Park Erotic Fan Fiction Society (Thanks, Foxy!) and Capri Sun Back to the Future

Hanging with Tad, Denim, and Ernie in the lounge on Friday

Talking old comics with Denim and Eugene on Saturday during the Lobby Takeover (FUCKIN' CAHMICS!!!)

The rush of the Conroy and FGOTM panels

I wish I could have had more time to talk to each and every one of you, and I hope I can make it next year. It was definitely one of the best cons I've ever been to, if only for the great people I hung out with.

Wait, isn't sleet "freezing rain"?

Actually, no.

- Freezing rain is rain that freezes upon hitting the ground.
- Sleet is rain that freezes on its way down, hitting as ice.
- Hail is sleet that is caught by strong winds and pulled back up into the cloud, where it gains moisture, and freezes further. Eventually, it becomes too heavy and falls. Obviously, the stronger the winds, the bigger the hail.

As for PoP!ulation related events? Fuck... everything. From Capri Sun Back to the Future to giving birth to Jim Lee. It was all an absolute thrill.
