Sure, I'll Do It For Fifty Bucks
As a warning, this post may be long, as I have a lot to cover.
So Tuesday night I went up to Sven's hous eto spend the night, as the next morning we were heading up to San Diego for the Sand Diego Comic Con. We set out to leave between 10 and 11 am, but ended up leaving at like 2:45pm, lol. We just slept in and we wanted to eat before we left so we got In-N-Out (which I am so addicted to right now, I want it all the time, mmmmm, I want it right now too), and we filled my tires up with air, and then we were off. I was surprised that we didn't hit too much traffic, there was somee closer to downtown, but it wasn't so bad, except I had to pee so horribly bad, and to make matters worse, it took like 10 extra minutes to find the entrance to the hotel with all of San Diego's freaking one way streets.
Anyways, we got all checked in and went up to our room, which had a really nice view and was all around very nice. WSe headed over to the convention to get our badges and check out preview night (which is for 4 day registered members only). I bought a few things that night, but it all kinda blends together now. Over the course of the 3 days I was there I bought:
Fantastic 4 Movie: Invisble Woman (fully painted)
Fantastic 4 Movie: Invisble Woman (phasing version)
King Randor Staction Figure
He-Man Mini Bust
He-Man 'Best Of' DVD
Happy Tree Friends Volume 3 DVD
Happy Tree Friends Buttons
Nancy Drew Graphic Novels (Volumes 1 and 2) - Thanks G!
Buffy The Vampire Slayer Super Articulated figures: Graduation Buffy and Faith, Bad Girls Faith, Once More With Feeling Buffy, End Of Days Buffy and Faith
Crisis On Infinite Earths Supergirl
Cirsis On Infinite Earths Harbinger
DC Direct Teen Titans Superboy
Mattel's Catwoman Comic-Con exclusive
Elvira Maquette (signed by Elvira herself at the convention).
Wednesday night after the convention, Sven and I walked around downtown looking for a place to eat, and we spotted Rock Bottom brewery (which we had been introduced to by ka) and I was in heaven! I got my Classic mac and chicken and it was SO good. For dessert I got the Apple Pear cobbler, which was delicous, and Sven got their version of an ice cream sandwhich, which was also delicious. We headed back to the hotel where we flipped through the channels to see if there was anything on. And we discovered a new fantastic reality show 'Dog The Bounty Hunter". It's about a family of bounty hunters and it stars 'Dog' who is liek teh best bounty hunter ever and his wife, beth, who is just so fantastic. She dresses in little denim outfits and is always themed it seems,and wears high heels tp go hunting, it's awesome. And I swear, all she is is neck and then boobs, she could rest her head on them if she wanted to, lol. So we watched the little marathon of that then headed to bed.
Thurday we got a bit of a late start, but we made it to the convention and spent a couple hours there (if that), then headed back to the hotel. We made plans to meet Sven's friend (and mine buthe knew her first) lacey (which isn't her real name, but the name on her fake ID) that night at this place called Gringo's which is supposed to have really good food. It was awhile till we were supposed to meet her and we hadn't eaten yet, so we decided we would get some food, and hour after debating what to get, we went to the hotel restaurant (this is like a half hour befor ewe are supposed to meet Lacey now) and Sven had Pizza and I had the best Spilt Pea soup ever and we shared parmesan fries, which were to die for. After that we went back up to the hotel, grabbed our stuff and headed out to meet Lacey at Gringo's, which lived up to the expectations. Sven has been talking about wanting what he calls 'venti cheese' and now I know why. They have this amazing cheese dip for chips, and once you've tasted it, you want a venti sized portion, lol. I had some steak thing that was really delicious and then we all got a different dessert, and all 3 were phenomenal. After dinner we said good bye to lacey, returned to the hotel and relaxed. it was cool because for some reason there were fireworks that night and we got to see 2 different shows from the comfort of our room.
Friday, Vitamin G and KQ came up too. They met us at the hotel andd we all walked over to the convention center. The highlight of the day was the Veronica Mars panel. It featured the Creator of the show, Rob Thomas and a few of the actors. And a big surprise, the guest star of next season, CHARISMA CARPENTER! YAY! Love Her! Anyways, it was great because all 4 of us were wearing the 'Veronica is my BFF' shirts KQ had made us (which we got comments onall day) and Rob Thomas thought they were so cool. KQ even gave him one and one for Kristen Bell. After the panel discussion, they did a signing, and the bastards at the convention switched the site so we were in the wrong place. Thankfully we made it up to see them and they were all excited over our shirts. They were signing really cool posters, and it was awesome to meet them.
After that, Sven and I got in line to meet Elvira, while Vitamin G and KQ went back to the exhibit hall to shop. It took awhile to meet Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) as she is reallynice and talks and takes pictures with her fans. I was super excited because she had her maquette for sale and I had been looking for one since they came out but they had sold out super fast. So of course I bought it and she signed it on the thigh of the statue, which is very cool. I also gave her a copy of the Elvira vector (see previous journals) I did, and she loved it. She said she'd put it on her website, yay! Sven got teh Mistress of the Dark DVd so he could have a signed one like he has with Haunted Hills, and he had her sign it "Stephen, Sure I'll Do It For Fifty Bucks -XX Elvira', which is a line from Mistress of the Dark. She ot a real kick out of it, and tehn we each took our picture with her. She is awesome.
After that, we met up with Vitamin G and KQ and walked around for a bit more. KQ wasn't feeling so well so she went to sit down and Sven had kinda had enough of the conventionand I don't blame him, it's not his thing, so he went to Starbucks. Vitamin G and I walked around for awhile longer, then we met up with KQ (who magically appeared out of no where) and then with Sven at Starbucks. We were all hungry so we ate at the Hotel restaurant, which was again, delicious (I had a pesto capellini). After that we headed home. Sven and I arrived home about 12, so I spent the night, plus his frien A was having a party the next day, so it was easier then driving home and driving back up.
the party was fun, but I smelled like cigarette smoke afterwards and my eyes were burning. Sven had alittle to much to drink, he didn't get sick, just kinda passed out in the car on the way home. He was fine the next day, but I stayed a little while with him to make sure he was ok, then I headed on home.
The weekend was a blast, and I am so glad Sven came with me, he is such a good sport. The only bad part was I lost my 2 credit cards. think they fell out in the hotel room, as that I remember tossing my wallet onto my suitcase and I think it happened then. However, no charges had been made, so that was good.
