NY Comic Con: A Long Cold Trek....

The original plan was to leave around 8:30. Yeah that didn't happen because Kyle was a sleepy head. So we ended up leaving around 9:00 still expecting to get there with no problems. The trek was long, cold and just all around shitty. When we were about a block away when we saw this mass of nerds waiting. We knew we arrived too late as we saw the line wrapping around the convention center and Shane started to cry like a little girl.

So I get up around 7:15 and was tempted to call someone...anyone to see if they were awake on Saturday morning that early. But instead I took a shower, put on yesterdays pants, and put on a pot of coffee. Rasin Bran fueled me as I checked the bus schedule at 7:43 and the bus came at 7:50. So I filled my bag for the day and headed for the bus too the subway and off to Manhattan to meet Diddy and gang at 8:30. We hung around till 9 and I got water straight from Fiji itself and walked in the wind tunnel blowing so hard it put the New Jersey American Idol girl to shame. The line was wrapped two blocks away from the Javits Center. I tired to cut in front of a handicapped woman in a wheel chair because she wasn't moving fast enough to get over the curb, but Derek and Kyle decided it was a no-go. Finally 45 minutes later of line waiting we got in to start the epic journey of the AA Asshole.

One thing that Shane decided not to add was that while in line a few friendly stormtrooper and an oversized jawas decided to come up and start busting chops. They came up starting asking for Shane's ID. Acting like any American who's been laid, Shane didn't know the star wars line to reply with. So because he didn't reply with "You don't need to see our IDs" he was then molested for the next 3 minutes while so called straight stormtroopers patted his ass a few more times then they should've. One thing I learned while watching this incident is that just like our armed forces it looks like there's a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy with the Empire.

Looks to me like Diddy & Shane covered most of the morning, except for how darn cold it was. Holding a small hot coffee was torture as my hand somehow started to freeze, so I threw it away. :( We almost got in the con early using Mentos "the fresh maker" as our pass but instead we watched videos of Mentos & diet cola and ate our breakfast: starburst!

It was a long cold trek and the wait pretty much sucked too. Some of the highlights of the morning were watching people who had to get in line behind us. Watching people who rushed inside to get a special ticket only to realize that they had to go back outside and get back in line again, and talking about Shane being so mad that were outside that he was going to break every window in the convention center with a single punch. Once inside the real fun began.
