Ten bucks say someone mentions scans_daily as dirty pirates.

[stinglikeabee.livejournal.com]

HAHA, exactly my thoughts. Unfortunately I didn't make it :/

I would have gone if I'd had a teleporter.

[stinglikeabee.livejournal.com]

Damn, I would kill for a teleporter. And I wouldn't be surprised if at least one panel at SDCC talks about online communities and hates on Scans_Daily. I wonder if PAD is going...

I think I saw his name there some place. I plan to go to Gail's panel on Thursday to fangirl her. ^_^

[stinglikeabee.livejournal.com]

Us and like, hundreds of others :D I plan to ask Nichola Scott who she uses as a model for Catman. Because damn, he's pretty.

I might have to forcefully keep myself from any with the artist from Iron Man (whose name I have blocked from my mind) to keep myself from asking him if he just hates to story if there is another reason his art has gone from beautiful to fugly.

All I know is that an Astro Boy panel is the same time as a Tim Burton panel! NOOOO.

[stinglikeabee.livejournal.com]

What, are the panel schedules up already? *searches* Damn, Astro Boy clashes with the IDW panel. Eww, Veronica marries Archie?!

Are you still thinking of doing a meetup on Thursday?

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

Yep! The post is up in Steve/Tony...I'm unsure if I should post it to Marvel_slash or not. *G* I'm also not sure how many people my hotel room can hold!

[stinglikeabee.livejournal.com]

Yay, I found the post! I hope I can convince my friend to come along. She's not a slasher or a comic fan, but I'm sure you guys might be able to convert her :D

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

I hope so! (And man if I get 15 people I'll have to move it someplace *G*) Hopefully I'll be able to hook my ps2 into the hotel tv so we can watch things like Iron Man and the 90s Captain America movie.

[stinglikeabee.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome! And if not, there's the Slasher's Dinner. I've decided we're definitely going (barring something SUPERDUPERAWESOME happening Friday night).

I've already paid so it's going to take Fanboys sized awesome to whoo me away. (Because omg seeing Fanboys was worth all the grief getting those passes)
