Saturday’s not over yet! Here’s what happened for the rest of that day at the fabulous Comic-Con! And on top of all these adventures, I handed out pretty much all of my postcards! Yay!

SATURDAY (CONT’D)

In addition to meeting voice-over artists, Scooby-Doo creators, basketball players, and even some Black Nerd Comedy fans who recognized me (with and without the Scooby suit), I got to run into some other “Cewebrities” promoting at Comic-Con.

Hey, we all have to hustle to get seen.

I ran into the ladies of MyNerdGirl.com, Kiko from Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show, the cast of The Guild (although stupid me forgot to ask for a picture of them), and even my good buddy Ask a Chola!

Chola actually got filmed for a segment on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I hope she gets on it. Then I hope she does late night. I’d rather have her after Conan than Jimmy Fallon.

I also had another awesome Scooby moment. While in awe that I was in close proximity of “Rocky” and “Bulk” from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a lady asked me to jump in line to meet Joe Staten. He actually used to draw for the Scooby-Doo cartoon series and now draws for the Scooby-Doo comic book.

We had a small Scooby conversation, he told me some history of his career, and out of the kindness of his heart, he actually drew me a sketch drawing of Scooby right there and signed it! What a guy.

Another awesome moment happened while waiting in line. Joe’s table was right next to the autograph table of the creators of a little show you may have heard of… THE SIMPSONS!

And the main man himself Matt Groening, once he sees me, stops autographs, comes right up to me, and says something to the effect of, “A lot of people come here as Superman or Batman. But you…”

Then he just extends his hand for a shake, tells me “great costume,” and floats away just as fast as he floated towards. It was like a visit from an angel. An angel who created Milhouse.

That night was the Comic-Con Masquerade. If you ever go to Comic-Con, this event is a must see, whether in the ballroom or on a monitor in one of the rooms. I wish I could describe it, but I can’t. It can only be described by your eyes to your brain.

After the Masquerade, a party breaks out in the Sails Pavilion. I took lots of pictures of this party, which you can see in my Comic-Con 2008 Flickr Set. Why did I take a lot of pics of this party? To prove a point.

NERDS CAN DEFINITELY GET THEIR FREAK ON!!!
