San Diego Comic-Con

[Drunk Monk]

It’s a real dog. A cosplaying dog.

About to board my flight. It’s full. And 6 mins behind. 

No fellow nerds spotted. I am disappointed about that.

[Greg]

You carry enough nerd weight for two.

[Drunk Monk]

Boarded

Southwest sucks

But so cheap…

[Drunk Monk]

Oh man

Im so spun. 2 beers on an empty stomach and I don’t know where I am. Connected with my imoortal & den bosses. Got a hotel key 

Stumbling about with the immortal ceo to the Junji Ito party next. Open bar. Scary Japanese shit. Im down.

[Drunk Monk]

A Manhattan and a shot of makers for Junji. That was on top of two beers (which I really shoul not drink) and not food. The there was an irie break (unexpected) and dinner - salmon & Cole slaw at some room in this hotel. Then more bourbon at the hotel bar and some fries (which I really shouldn’t have). So spun. But had some great convos with fellow geeks about all kinds of fandom. The new kid, John, is into Airbender & Warrior and I dominate those topics.

Now we’re working on our press release which should’ve gone out yesterday.

[Drunk Monk]

Oof
That was a bender. When I woke up, I still had a bit of a buzz. I expected to party here, but not like that, not quite so much so fast.

[Greg]

Are you out of practice or just old?

[Drunk Monk]

Both.

Also worn down from the previous two weeks of Cali summer adventures. 

All good now. Just finishing up breaky at Coffee ‘n’ Talk. I had a shitty oat milk cap and a shitty 2 egg bfast sammy that was hella expensive for what it was. Not coming here again. It looked nice but there’s not any people here - I shoulda taken that as a warning but I wasn’t thinking being uncaffeinated after a binge.

I forgot to pack my daypack bag. I’ll have to acquire something today. As if I need any more bags…

[Drunk Monk]

I’m in the den interview room with Kelly Hu!!! ?

[Greg]

Act cool!

[Drunk Monk]

Bro. I chatted up Kelly Hu. I totally fangirled. She is so hawt. 

Now in line for the ST: SNW photo op. Checking out the uniforms close up. Fascinating.

[Drunk Monk]

At the Den of Geek party at Mission brewery. It’s banging. Free tacos, open bar, pop dj, blockchain games. I still don’t quite understand blockchain games - it has something to do with NFTs

[Drunk Monk]

What a night. Lots of story sharing with comrades. Many old friends gathered at the Den party where they delighted in fresh beer, amazing tacos, ice cream, and some light dancers. Such fun. Learned a lot. Some major changes for Den & Immortal in the works…

[Greg]

Light dancers: A third less filling than our regular dancers.

[Drunk Monk]

Pretty much. I got a pic with one because she was in the background of a selfie I took with another Geek of Den. She was cute. The other was an annoying dude with a light up suit juggling 3 lit hula hoops. Had to squeeze past him several times. Beyond the light dancers, there were several horror cosplays (Michael, it, Freddy, the girl from the well) and those blockchain games which I did not engage at all.
