We were a little late getting out to the Con on Saturday, so we ended up in this alternative parking area. While San Diego is a nice city, cars in unattended lots have a tendancy to end up south of the border. The Convention Center had a security guard at this lot, though. More	The reason for the alternative parking area is the minor detail of the extensive construction going on. The Convention Center is undergoing expansion, as seen on the left. That area used to be an extra parking area. The main Convention entrance is directely opposite the condos in the center there (condos available starting at $500,000!) More	Here, the Convention Security Squad is prepared for yet another vicious day filled with rabid nerds. More

John Romita Sr. and John Romita Jr. More

I know what you're saying, "Enough of this woman already!" More	Not while she's dressed like this, I say. More

The Mystery Men. All I want to know is where she got that bowling ball. More	Introducing the newest Mystery Man, Richard Hatch a.k.a. Apollo from Battlestar Galactica. More

Actress Kirsten Dunst More	She was here promoting the upcoming film The Crow: Salvation, due out next year. More	Most actresses, I feel, are not quite as beautiful in person as you see in the movies and such. But Kirsten was actually more drop dead gorgeous in person than I had ever thought. More

Artist Frank Kelly Freas More

Patrick McDonnell, who does the Mutts comic strip. More	The Infamous Scott Shaw! (Notice I correctly included the exclamation point) More

One of the many Zombie Training Center located throughout the convention. These eager recruits are just minutes away from becoming drooling mutant zombies. More	While I thought these radio controled 'droids where cool, there were several people who thought otherwise (and made there feelings known, loudly). The Con is quite crowded on Saturday, so running these buggers down the aisles was in questionable taste. More	The only way to play CCG's. First, get a wall of velcro. Then you throw you foot-long cards at it. Ok, it was really just a neat way of teaching people how to play the Star Wars CCG. More

Ahh, this poor lady. Obviously tired, she was sitting on the ground by the wall there, until rude, inconsiderate me asked if I could get a picture of her. She was still posing for other people after I got my picture. Well, at least I asked. More

It must be Saturday!! There are more people dress in costumes on Saturday than any other day, and most of them don't join in the Masquerade. More	Are you ready for the next Star Trek© movie, KIB (Klingons in Black)? They'll kick the MIB's ass anyday. More

Casper Van Dien was there promoting the movie Sleepy Hollow. Tim Burton was also supposed to be there, but was a no show. Casper took it all in stride and had the audience in the palm of his hand. While I can't really say much for his acting ability (I've only seen him in junk like Beastmaster III: The Eye of Braxus and Starship Troopers) he's great in person. More	Model Bobbi Billiard, who helped out EonMagazine.com (long since dead link) well, by just being there. They were having free drawings, in which I won a hat. More
