SDCC Day 3: My 5 sec on video

July 27th, 2008 Robert Posted in Misc., SDCC 2008, Viral Marketting 1 Comment »

MyLocationScounts.com. List it. Rent it. Film it!

So there I was kicking it in the Fables line at the DC booth awaiting to get a trade signed (for William S.) and this SMOKING hot young woman came over and asked the young woman behind me to be in this video they were shooting. So they shot the video and it was the sexy young woman trying to cut in line, the woman in line behind me says “NO!” and continues on with the conversation. There I am trying not to drool into the camera and am playing with my badge (in my mind, to get it out of the way of the BC LIONS t-shirt I was wearing) and then the hot young woman continues onto the front where she gets in line. It is said to be on this new hot website: MyLocationScounts.com.

I spoke to the CEO of the site, Elvina Beck (sorry I called you SMOKING hot but come’on, I am a big, tall, fat, comic book geek!), and she told us what the site was about, it is similar (in my mind) to a craigslist for the film industry. You can login (for FREE!) and list that you have a DRUM SET and you live in VENICE BEACH, CAL and then if a local location/set person needs a Drum Set for their shoot, they contact you and you guys make the deal. Sounds like a GREAT website so please go and check it out, maybe you can login and make some $$!

http://www.mylocationscounts.com/

Oh and thanks again for the great conversations with the young woman in line with me (I am a big goof for not introducing myself) and person who gave me another of the bonus from the Fables panel (a small 1 page story by the Fables team) for William S. Thanks again and good luck!

… and if / when I see the video on the site, I will mention it here so you can see my fat face looking down at my toes in the background for a 5 sec blur. woo hoo! :P

My Comic-Con moment!

July 25th, 2008 Robert Posted in Comic Books, DC Comics, Final Crisis, SDCC 2008, The Dark Knight, The Venture Bros, Watchmen 2 Comments »

My Comic-Con moment! Meeting Grant Morrison!

Thank-you Grant Morrison for this moment!

Okay so after going to see the Watchmen panel (It was so-so, nothing special and Zak Snyder is obviously nervous on the panels) and you can read more about that and the new “exclusive trailer” here:
http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17402

I then hooked up with Ethan (and his bro) from Elfsar Comics & Toys and then rushed over to make the DC Batman panel.

The panel was okay with some great one liners from Grant Morrison & Paul Dini. You can read more about it here:
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/080725-comic-con-Batman-panel.html

So after the panel, I waited and got the chance to get a photo with Grant Morrison. We then went for lunch and came back to the SOLD OUT line-up for the Venture Bros. panel (yeah, I was like WHAT-THE-F*******CK! as well) so we rushed over to the big “H” room (more like a small stadium) for the Entertainment Weekly Visionary series panel with Kevin Smith, Judd Apatow, Zak Snyder and Frank Miller. This was a GREAT panel with Kevin and Judd having great one liners with one another, Zak had some good lines and Frank just kept drinking and ignoring the questions. It was a comedy show and it was a ton of fun but hey — not for any kids ’cause these people swore like a… well you know what I mean! After this panel and catching my breathe from laughing so hard, we went to the Con floor for a bit until we got ushered out (Con ends at 7pm) to which we parted ways, I headed over to the end of the Kevin Smith panel which was just more swearing and laughing. I then took off early before the end to catch my ride back, of course with my luck, I caught my foot on something on the Con road and now have a major bruise on my foot. Right Day Two is over.

So I missed the DC Final Crisis panel which sounds like it was a good time here:
http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17413

I also missed out on the Eisner Awards tonight but I needed dinner and to get away from the Con. Day 2 photos will go up tomorrow (I need sleep!) - William S. I missed the Venture Bros. but I did a shot of The Monarch & Trixie!

Well sadly I won’t be going into the Venture Bros panel due to the popularity of Robot Chicken cause all those fans dominated the lineup to VB! F**ck!
