No, we haven't day-tripped down to the beach as we were considering. Errands that had been put off have gotten in the way. Not a big deal really, heat concerns with little to no shade at this time of year, are an issue. There are plenty of other places we can day trip to in the area. We do have plans to have supper with some friends, this week, that have moved back into the area recently. They are about an hour away farther into the Hill Country than we are and that will be a great time.
One of the errands we picking up our youngest son at the airport. He had been at the San Diego Comic Con for the last 6 days.
It is insanely crowded
It is mostly a business trip for him. He was able to make some new contacts that should help with promoting his new comic company and he almost always obtains more work. He wasn't involved with exhibiting this year has he has most every time in the past.
Did you know a lot of these costumed characters make their living this way?
That will probably change the coming year as his new comic company launches this year. I would have expected them to have a huge launch at the Con to introduce themselves. Apparently it is extremely expensive to exhibit there, not to mention a cheap hotel room runs in the 400+ range. That really adds up after several days. Not to mention you have to hire union labor to set up your exhibit once you get to certain parameters. That all just adds to the cost.
He also is involved in the Alamo City Comic Con that has become hugely popular. This September will be the third one here. It and the comic company launch along with developing his own comic series has kept him extremely busy. And he will stay that way at least until the local Con gets done in September. It's almost unbelievable how many hours he puts in each day/week. It makes me tired to hear about it lol. Oh well how many of us can say they are living their childhood dream?
Nerds...
Happy Trails.
