I was lucky to be able to attend Comic-con with a Professional all week pass thanks to RLO and Paul T. because they are animators with a hook up. This was my 3rd or 4th time attending and it was pretty much the usual, except I saved a lot of money this year. If you know about Comic-con then you know its always an expensive weekend. Hotels and restaurants jack up their prices and this doesn’t include people who have to pay for their passes, and all the crap you end up buying at the Con. You also know that Comic-con happens at the San Diego convention center, which is the “24th largest convention facility in North America.”- Wiki
One year I ended up spending over $400 in a Comic-con weekend, WHAT THE FUCK! So for this year I told myself I’d only go if i could spend zero-$100. Being that I’m fucken suave and savvy as hell, I succeeded!
-Car ride there with friends (RLO)- $5
-Comic-con passes from friend (RLO)- Free
-Waterfront Hotel across the street from the con from friend (cant name names)- Free
-Food- $75 (for the whole weekend.)
-Crap I bought from the con (Tokidoki tote)- $5
-Booze- Free (happy men like buying me drinks.)
Um, and that concludes my short bill of an AWESOME weekend. Thank you sooo soo much to my amazing friends, you know who you are.
So even though I got sick the day before going to San Diego, and even though I got my monster flow of a period on the last day of San Diego I really can not complain, I had a wonderful carefree weekend.
Here are the photos for now, more to come later tonight-

Deja and I wanted to visit our happy hippie girlfriends Sara (my old roommate) & Holli both from Ancient Astronaut in San Francisco for a weekend of girl vibing. We stayed in two National Historic Places in San Francisco. We’re so thankful!

The weather was a perfect escape for me since my 1955 apartment in Los Angeles only has one old wall unit A/C in the living-room entrance.
Listen and watch from my view, you can hear the cold warmth.
Here’s a quick photo re-cap of mine and Deja’s wonderful weekend. {click on the photos or hover over them like Marty McFly to read more, click links, and find cool places we visited.}
Just last month Cleveland, Ohio had a meeting of the creative masses.
20 Musicians, 20 Artist and 20 Motivational Speakers lined up to put together WMC Fest. Weapons of Mass Creations Festival.
This project was brought to it’s community to inspire and drive their creativity. They started a kickstarter with $7,000 dollars as their goal and asked those who were willing to back their idea.
This idea inspired me in many ways and I am really compelled to figure out how we can start something like this in Los Angeles.
I don’t even know where to start, but if anyone out there is just as interested in this idea we need to get our brains together and make it happen.
I still have plans to visit Ohio next year for this festival, and you should too!
So keep your eye on them and check their website, or twitter or facebook.
I have always loved Sesame Street, and now its my nieces obsession. Of course I also dig outer space news! Check it out.
This is pretty important-

I’m still pissed off at Katy Perry for going on Sesame Street and acting like a stupid bitch whore. She should have fucken known better.
Katy Perry should take some advice from Feist- This is how its done Katy Dumbass Perry.
