			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1.<br />
Arrived safe and sound, where I immediately shuttled to an <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/beaucoupkevin/2696448334/">In-n-Out Burger</A>, a chain that simply will never come to the East Coast in an attempt to drive me stark raving mad.  You may have heard of them before and thought their reputation was exaggerated; you would be wrong.  </p>
<p>2.<br />
I&#8217;ve not had a chance to hook the camera up to the computer, but will likely do that tonight or tomorrow.  Took just a few photos of people.  I think that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m more interested in: portraiture of people I know during Comic-Con, not Oh Hey There&#8217;s The Nite Owl&#8217;s Ship because, you know, there&#8217;s going to be <EM>quite</EM> enough of that.</p>
<p>3.<br />
Preview Night crowds may be big, but they&#8217;re bearable.  I have no idea how Saturday, with its estimated 125,000 people dressed like Naruto (seriously, how is that still a thing?,) is going to shake down unless there&#8217;s going to be swat teams and riot control police on site.  I may just choose to hide under one of the multiple tables framing BOOM!&#8217;s booth and whimper on occasion.</p>
<p>4.<br />
My purchases for the night were copies of the <EM>Scott Pilgrim</EM> color special, the <EM>New Love And Rockets Stories</EM> #1 and <EM>Tales Designed To Thrizzle</EM> #4.  Jeff Lemire was kind enough to ensure I got a copy of the new <EM>Essex County Tales</EM> book, but I think that may be because I&#8217;m buying him lunch today.</p>
<p>5.<br />
If I listed the freaks I&#8217;ve already seen, you wouldn&#8217;t believe me.  The worst may have been the mentally-ill fellow working his way rapidly through the small-press section while rubbing his toy raccoon in a manner that I&#8217;ll say was <EM>sensual</EM>.</p>
<p>6.<br />
I&#8217;m part of the <A HREF="http://live.comicbookresources.com/">CBR Live Blog</A> for the event.  I may well be uploading photos from the Blackberry to that along with pithy updates.</p>

<p>1.<br />
I&#8217;m on a 5:30 flight, so I&#8217;m posting this now.  Yes, 5:30.  The airlines are run by meth-addicted bastards who have no concept of time as it relates to real people.</p>
<p>2.<br />
While I&#8217;m at San Diego, I should have the access necessary to upload photos, post drunkenly, and let you guys know when a new installment of <em>The Rack</em> is up if you&#8217;re not trained enough by now. (Birdie&#8217;s under instructions to just publish it while I&#8217;m out of town, so it should be up at the usual times tomorrow and Friday.)</p>
<p>3.<br />
I&#8217;ll be at the BOOM! Studios booth most of the time (2543,) so come by and say &#8220;Hi&#8221; if you&#8217;re nearby.  I&#8217;m also planning to attend just a few panels and visit some friends at their booths, so I&#8217;ll be free and clear to navigate if you want to fill me with alcohol at any point during the festivities.</p>
<p>4.<br />
I&#8217;d really like it if you did that.</p>
