Finally, it has came and went. The much awaited Comic Con 2009. I only had a ticket for Sunday this year, but I made the best of it. Woke up early, road the trolley to the convention center and walked through the doors at 9:30a.

Some of the highlights for me:

-Everyone and their mother seemed to have signs offering free hugs. What is it with these people? Do they not get love at home?

-Stumbling across Adam West (Batman) in an obscure little booth signing autographs. He joked with me about my camera lens getting too close to his old man nose. But as you can see, I was going for the wide shot.

-My recent obsession with the Yotsuba&! toy, Danboard was satiated when I found the last Danboard for sale on the floor. Of course he went home with me.

-And of course, I can’t complete a list of highlights without including an honorable mention for my ever-present buddy in crime, Jeff. He gets high praise for just showing up this morning. And an even bigger IOU for putting up with my exhaustive toy search all day long. Thanks Jeff! You’re awesome.
