*SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON WRAP-UP..
Or should i say “Rap-Up”? Shook hands with one of my favorite folks in Hip-Hop, Mr. Chuck D of Public Enemy, when he walked by my table in the small press section at the Con. Not totally sure, but he seemed to know who I was…Wow.
Also, as we were waiting to get on the elevator after checking in at our swanky (free!) hotel. Snoop Dogg strolled off the elevator with about 8 dudes. Rock!!
Other celeb sightings: That comedian that was on “the Show”, and did that comedy tour documentary show with Patton Oswalt and Zach Garafilnakis (I can’t spell his name for the life of me)..One of the Wayans Bros. on the street with some white chick trying to jump on him. Also, in L.A.: Cuba Gooding Jr. at Kinko’s talking about thongs and pancake batter and former Laker/Celtic/Mr. Vanessa Williams Rick Fox on Venice Beach…
The Comic-Con is a completely different animal now compared to just a few years ago. 120,000 people. It’s big-time Hollywood….But it’s still really great. The place was packed even on Wednesday’s Preview Night, which used to be a time when the exhibitor could go around the floor and check out some of the stuff before the public does. Not any more.
The new bigger, stronger, sexier canvas bags were a big hit!! And the new 2007 calendars were snapped up, too. Look for both on the site soon…
But the biggest hit was the Beginner’s Guide to Community-Based Arts. Sold out of ’em. folks couldn’t get enough of ’em. I caught somebody in the bathroom doing things with the Beginner’s Guide in (left) hand.
Highlights:
-Maine Lobster night at Ye Ole Madrid with Garrett Izumi and Stevie Notley (Behold! the Grassy Knoll!)
-Swanky free hotel room at the Omni!!
-Some 6.6 dude with the ultimate Chewbacca costume, lifting tiny children up on his shoulder for pictures (Made me wish I was a kid again!!)
-Hangin’ with Kyle Baker
-Somebody suggesting I put my public access T.V. show, Bruno MacPush, on DVD!!
