Wizardworld LA wrap-up

So on Saturday, I headed down to Wizardworld L.A. at the L.A. Convention Center. Nice little show. I spent most of the day bored, but things got better as the day went on.

Spent a couple bucks on a few of those beat-up 50%-off graphic novels. Saw writer Marv Wolfman across the room - didn't get a chance to say hi to him. Hung out with my writer-friend Anne Toole. Met character designer Stephen Silver, who did the designs on Kim Possible. Met writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach, who's writes on Lost. Caught up with writer John Rogers, whose Kung Fu Monkey blog is one of my favorite blogs.

After Wizardworld, I wandered over to Staples Center next door to watch the Kings take on the St Louis Blues. Since I got there early, I got to watch the whole warm-ups. Watched Keith Tkachuk get smacked in the rear by a puck shot at him - he turned around ready to kill somebody, then saw Jeremy Roenick pointing and laughing at him. I love J.R..

Then came the game. My voice was hoarse from booing the Kings for two awful awful periods, but then they came back with three goals in the third period to win it 3-1.

Worst part of the day? Carrying around a stack of beat-up 50%-off graphic novels in my bag all day long. The harsh physical consequences of being a comic book-reading dork.
