COMIC-CON 2006
@ San Diego Convention Center

We went to COMIC-CON on Friday since Paul had his summer day off :) So, we made a plan with our nephew Davey and met him at the event.
Oh my goodness! There were soooo many people there even on Friday! CRAZINESS! I guess there are more and more people there every year (the attendance supposedly doubled from 2 years ago!)... and more and more new vendors show up that don't really have much to do with the comics industry. It was pretty overwhelming at time, but we had our own fun :)

My favorite area to visit at Comic-Con is checking out all the new collectible and art toys (probably going against a lot of the Comic-Con traditions). Also, I enjoy looking at all the NERDS who are dressed up as various characters in silly costumes!! (Please don't be offended, I admire and love nerds!) They are cool :)

Since we got there kind of late, we missed meeting most of the artists I wanted to meet... Oh well! But, I found a new toy/product called "mimobots" which I really thought was cool :)

YAY :) Ladytron will be playing at various different places in Northern America! We just bought tickets to the show on Oct 17th! Here is the list of the shows in Southern California. I'm so excited!!

Stunning and magical show! Must see while they are in your town!!
Cirque Du Soleil is in town now performing Corteo in the tent under the Grand Chapiteau at The Forum, Los Angeles. This was our first time going to see their tent shows... and I was blown away by their performances, stage presence, set design, and the costume design. Very European, classical, and nostalgic style. It just took me away to a complete different world. Everything about it was just ...wonderful.
