<\/a>\n(for the VI: Mike is on the left and Janet on the right. Behind them is a banner with a man on the left looking up at a Man floating to the ground wearing a black and white coat on the right. Under the floating man is a young girl with red hair. Mike has a black and grey beard, a shaved head, and is wearing glasses and a black and white checked shirt. Janet has brown hair in a pageboy cut. She is wearing glasses, a black shirt and a black and white striped sweater. She had her drawing board in front of her and on the table are pieces of her art work)
\nThey were kind enough to let me drop things off there to be picked up later.<\/p>\n
Then there are the people that you meet just because you happen to be in the right place at the right time. I went to the Stan Lee World of Superheroes Panel because Peter was on it and I have a stake in what he was talking about because it was the show that we created together a couple of years ago entitled \u201cHead Cases\u201d. While there David Uslan (yes, son of Michael) introduced me to his friend Izzy. Randomhouse has a party at SDCC for book sellers and the RH authors. Peter and I went and chatted with a number of people. We grabbed a table early in the party because later they can be hard to get. Warren and Caroline Spector sat down with us and we were shortly joined by George RR Martin, Christopher Paolini, Robert Greenberger, and Michael Jan Friedman. A fun time was had by all. A lot of other people drifted in and out of the conversation. I had a nice conversation with Chris\u2019 sister Angie too. <\/p>\n Told you this was going to be photo heavy<\/p>\n Another panel Peter was on was the Epic Mickey II with Warren Spector, Marv Wolfman and Rebecca Cline. The Oswald ears were considered a pretty good prize to get at the Convention. I have known the Pinis for a very long time. A number of years ago Peter got a tattoo of Leetah from Elfquest on his arm and we kept joking that I should get Cutter. So as a gag, Wendy drew a quick sketch on my arm. I got to talk Paul Cornel, Bill Sienkiewicz, Eric Shandower, and a host of other really fun people.<\/p>\n During the last hour that I was at the convention, we had a moment of SDCC magic that was so nice. Years ago Peter did a TV series called Space Cases (we have come to the conclusion that Peter can only sell shows with the word \u201ccases\u201d in them) and the leader of the group was played by a wonderful actor named Walter Jones who is probably better know as the original Black Power Ranger. Peter hadn\u2019t seen Walter since the Space Cases wrapped. At his last signing at the Marvel booth he found Walter waiting for him. They did a fast catch up and were so happy to see each other.<\/p>\n

\nPeter and Stan getting ready for the panel. Stan the Man Lee is in the middle. I got my hug from Stan. I also got my hug from Mark Hamill on the fly. I did really well in the hug department this year.<\/p>\n<\/a>
