Hey there loyal readers and welcome to a site update. Right now I am still in the process of prepping some pics from the Con, and today I will hopefully be getting up the rest of the post from the adventures of Day 2. What I wanted to talk about with this post is the upcoming Post #100. Now this post is #93 for those keeping score, and #100 should be up very soon with the amount of crap I need to post about the comic con. So please keep your eyes open and wait for that post #100, when there will be some very big site news about the future of Cee Diddy Holla.

NY Comic Con: I Heard You Wanted to Meet Me...
While we were in line we talked about a great pick up line for Shane to use on this hot Jedi girl we saw. The line was simple and right to the point, "I heard you wanted to meet me." Shane loved this line and was determined to use it. So during our quest for AA batteries we came across the Marvel Booth. Our goal was to ask Joe Quesada for AA batteries. I mean the guy runs Marvel I don't see why he wouldn't have a few extra batteries on him. Although that was the plan it was derailed when Shane-O met Virgina....
~Diddy
So I needed AA batteries for my hungry camera. Joe Q was busy interviewing some assholes with a camera. So I asked this slammin' girl if she had any AA batteries and she kind of laughed and said no. There was this cubicle with storage for the con and I asked if they were in there and she said no. Then I asked if Joe Q would have any...just a straight flat out quick no from her. She seemed like that would be a bad move to ask him. I did not listen as I will explain later. So then I asked her with her being a girl and all, what her opinion would be if a guy asked "hey, I heard you wanted to meet me." She seemed a little put off as to why I was actually using that line on her, which I wasn't. She said I would turn away if he was creepy or laugh if he was wasn't, and she laughed when I did it. We played a bit of the flirt game for a bit about Joe Q having a AA battery utility belt. But then awkward Shane came into play. There was about a minute too long of me hanging in there. 10 seconds of silence and so she finally says, "well nice to meet you" and put out her hand, and I said Shane and she said Virginia. Then some guy who probably was her boyfriend came up and started kissing her as Derek and I walked away. He was my wingman to get me out of that awkward situation ending. Then our quest into the middle east for AA batteries continued.
~Shane
Before I can go on the exciting conclusion of our quest for AA batteries I need to comment on Shane's version of that story. Shane really had a shot with this chick and will hopefully seal the deal tomorrow. Shane did screw up by being there a minute too long but I also swear to God that when he introduced himself by saying "I"m Shane." that her reply was , "Nice to know." I could be wrong but only time will tell. Tomorrow we're going to post more from Day 2 and maybe even some Day 3 stories.

NY Comic Con: Meeting the Stars Part One
During the first day we all got to meet a lot of people, Steve McNiven, Greg Horn, David Mack, Mark Morales, Talent Caldwell, Greg Rucka, and Mark Brooks. The people we would meet on Day 2 would be even more impressive. So impressive the list needs to be broken in two parts. For me the first person I got to meet was J.G. Jones over at Midtown Comics. It was suppose to be a double header with him and Rucka but Mr.Rucka was running a bit late. While waiting for Jones and Rucka I got see Stan Lee and his posse go by. Stan looked great and his posse looked weak and virgin like. After Jones, me and Shane headed up to the Artist Alley where the brushes with fame would just continue.
~ Diddy
While Diddy and Shane were off doing their stuff, I went straight to the Marvel booth to wait in line for Joe Quesada! Found out from the EIC himself that Elektra has some good stuff coming up, awesome! Missed my chance to meet David Finch so I got in line for Mick Foley, where I caught up with Diddy....
~ Ky!e
When me and Shane got up stairs to the artist alley, I stop quickly to get a print from Greg Horn. I picked up a pretty sweet Captain America print. From there we decided to check out the gaming area. To our surprise there were even more people to meet. Or gawk at. Waiting upstairs was Chewbacca, Gary Coleman, The Cheerleader from Heroes, a couple contestants from "Who Wants to be a Super Hero.", a couple cast members from Buffy and a surprise appearance by G4's Blair Butler. I"m gonna let Shane talk about the scene before I talk about the wonderful Blair Butler.
~ Diddy
Well I saw Hayden from Heroes and I kept asking, "how can she be 16?!". Also everyone's Venti coffee's from Starbucks were making me jealous because I can no longer afford them. Gary Coleman was a scary site. This is where the journey of the AA batteries started because they all of a sudden started to die quite quickly. Derek wanted me to take a picture of the beautiful, yet sassy Blair Butler and the red light was on. I had to take out batteries a lot and keep putting them in when I wanted it to turn on. After this is when the epic of the day started which would later lead to the Marvel team despising Shane O Mac forever.
~Shane
While we drooled over Hayden and wondered what the age of consent was in this state, I noticed that Blair Butler from G4 was there filming for Attack of the Show. When she walked by I told her she was doing a good job on G4. She seemed pretty happy to come across a fan. She went on to film a piece for ATOTS. I wanted to be bold and ask for a picture with her when Shane informed me that his batteries had died in his camera. Luckily he had just enough power to get one more shot off. In between doing shots for the show I asked Blair for a pic and she was nice enough to pose with me for a picture. That pic will be on here very very soon. So after that life altering moment, the quest for the AA batteries was about to begin. Our first stop would be Marvel booth where Shane would meet the lovely Virgina.

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.
~Diddy
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.
~Shane
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.
~Diddy
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!
~Ky!e
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.

Day 2 New York Comic Con Day 2
A lot of stuff went on during day 2. So mch it gave the day the status of Epic. Day 2 will be made up of a lot of different post by myself, Shane O Mac, and maybe even Kyle if I can get him away from his new BKV book. So sit back and enjoy the experience. Also once again the pictures are coming after they've been photoshopped.
