Saying Goodbye

Well the day has finally come. Though Harry and I have been broken up since February we still lived together, ate together and pretty much did everything we did when we were a couple. But today is the day Harry heads back to Austria.

This morning Harry ran around a few hours finishing up things and making sure he had everything before we left for the airport. Harry's flight was at 4:30pm but we needed to be there 3 hours in advance so we got there around 1pm and after going into the wrong terminal we finally found the correct terminal and got in line as the ticket windows were still closed.

Since Harry was here illegally for eight years we weren't sure how easy it was going to be for him to leave without immigration getting involved. Well the ticket windows opened and we walked up and he gave them his temporary passport and print out ticket. A few minutes later we took his bags to the X-ray scanners and walked to the entrance to the TSA check.

We said our goodbyes.. I thought I would cry but I didn't. I did cry a bit when we were getting ready to leave for the airport but I kept stopping myself. But now that we were saying goodbye.. no tears. I knew it would only be temporary. We didn't really say much to each other. I gave him a hug, said we had a great 8 years and he entered the line to go through the TSA.

I walked back to car and manage to get on the freeway before the tears started rolling. But I couldn't breakdown while driving on the freeway so I held it in. I got a text from Harry about a half hour later informing me that he got through TSA with no issues and it now waiting to get on the plane. I stopped by El Pollo Loco for some comfort food and made my way home. Soon as I got on the dirt road to our house the waterworks started to flow.

I made it home and greeted Daisy who kept looking for Harry. As I started to eat I looked over at Harry's recliner and it hit me that Harry was not coming back, he's not out at the store and will return in an hour. He's never coming back. As I looked around there are so many things in this house that remind me of him. This was our house, we purchased this together, we painted every room, we purchased every piece of furniture. I couldn't stop myself and I just balled. I cried uncontrollably like I had never cried before. My heart was hurting as the realization of my situation hit me like a brick wall.

Poor Daisy had no idea what was going on, I lost my appetite and just felt numb. The crying continued on an off for hours, but I'm feeling a bit better. It's funny I know we are broken up and it's for the better. Both Harry and I agree that our situation was not good. But being with someone for eight years and seeing them day in and day out, regardless on being partners or not I love him and will always love him. 

I have had so many facebook comments, tweets and texts of love and support and I appreciate it but for this weekend I just want to be alone. I don't want to talk to anyone or see anyone. I just need time to recover from this I know it will take more then a weekend to get over it but I'm taking babies steps and putting one foot in front of the other. I promise I'll be back to my happy go lucky Kenny but for now I just need to cry.

I'm Blown Away!!!

So if you are a regular follower of my tweets, facebook or blog you'll know that my podcasting equipment was stolen on the last day of San Diego Comic Con. Well several folks/friends approached me about doing something about it, Brian suggested a Kickstarter project which I like and he just ran with it. Next thing I knew we had some pretty sweet rewards to offer and over the next two weeks Brian, Teresa and I worked on getting this Kickstarter project going. Well it launched at midnight tonight and I was worried that I asked for too much that I wasn't going to able to make the $2500 goal in 21 days.

Well five minutes after I had posted it, I had 3 backers and my total was $350. So I went to bed feeling pretty good about this. Got up this morning and I had 16 backers and my total was $830 and as I was getting ready for work it went up to $1020. I was almost halfway there and it had only been eight hours. When I got to work at 10am my total was up to $1380, and I was getting a ton more backers.. then around 11am someone purchased our big ticket item for $650 and that gave me a total of $2030. By noon I was just a few hundred away from my goal of $2500 then someone purchased one of the $400 rewards and that did it.. that pushed me pass my goal and I'm currently at $2630.

This project funded in 13 hours.. AMAZING!!! I am totally blown away and overwhelmed by the support I have received. I can't thank you all enough for supporting me and my little podcasts. With these funds I'll be able to buy new and even better podcasting equipment.

We still have lots of great Guild / Knights of the Guild rewards to give a way. If you want to make a donation please do so. The additional money will go to upgrading equipment and paying for URL's and websites.

Thanks again everyone!!!

Show Notes:

It’s time once again for the next CompanionCasts for The Guild Season Five. First of all be sure you watched Episode 3 of season 5 “Megagame-o-ramacon!”. If you haven’t seen it yet watch it HERE

Our Season 4 CompanionCasts were a huge hit so we thought we would do them again for Season 5. So what is a CompanionCast?? It’s a behind the scene look at the current episode of The Guild.

I was on set everyday while they shot Season 5. As actors and crew were finished with scenes I would try and speak to them. Get some inside info about the scene they just shot. I also interviewed Felicia Day and Kim Evey about the storyline and Sean Becker about the directing. Each one of these CompanionCasts will be episode specific and will vary in length depending on how much guildie goodness I am able to gather.

In this CompanionCast I interview Felicia Day, Sean Becker, Kim Evey, Sandeep Parikh, Robin Thorsen, Jeff Lewis, Amy Okuda, Vince Caso, Hayley Holmes and Greg Aronowitz

I hope you enjoy a look behind the scenes of Season 5 Episode 3 “Megagame-o-ramacon!”

Harry Potter in Six Minutes

This is pretty good.. Movies 1 - 7 part 1 told in 6 minutes.

In A Funk

Not sure what's really going on with me but I've been so tired and lazy this entire week. Maybe it's work, the stress levels are off the chart and I just keep telling myself six more weeks.. only six more weeks. But when I get home I'm exhausted and all I want to do is eat dinner and watch TV.

Well I can't do that. I have the next CompanionCast due tomorrow Friday 8/12, the next MASH 4077 Podcast due next Monday 8/15 and the next Knights of the Guild podcast due next Monday 8/15 and not to mention I'm trying to launch my new podcast Confessions of a Fanboy this weekend.

The past few days I have sat in front of my computer around 10pm to get some work done on any of these podcast and I'm just not motivated. I did a bit of work on the next MASH podcast on Monday and yesterday I forced myself to work from 10pm to Midnight on tomorrows CompanionCast. I haven't even recorded the next KOTG yet, not sure that's going to happen.

I'm sure it's a combination of work, stress, the fact that Harry leaves on Saturday and Daisy leaves on Wednesday.. things are kind of crazy in my life at the moment. Hopefully it's a temporary funk. But I still have to work tonight on finishing the CompanionCast for S5E3 and then this weekend on my other three podcasts. Gotta get my podcasts out!!

Confessions of a Fanboy Promo

Visiting Family

Today Harry and I went to visit my family. This was Harry's last time visiting them before he heads back to Austria. We did our routine and picked up my Dad and took him to our favorite Chinese restaurant called Hong Kong. We then went back to my brothers house and hung out with my dad, brother, sister-in-law and nephew. I played with Kenobi, he just loves the iPad so when I brought mine in he had to play with it as well. We played games for about an hour and then he found the Photobooth app and we had a little fun.

Harry said his goodbyes (for the final time) and we made our way home. It seems like everything Harry does this week will be his last. Last time he had to drive to my Dads, last time he is going to eat Hong Kong and Miguel's Jr. (which we picked up for dinner later that day). Last time he'll visit with my family. Lot's of last times. :(

Ipad Accessories

Today Harry and I went shopping for Ipad accessories. First stop was Best Buy, were to got a Camera Connection Kit which includes a USB adaptor which is what I really wanted. We then went back and forth on cases and wireless keyboard and in the end only got a wireless keyboard as none of the cases really stood out to us.

We then went to the Apple store to see about getting a case for the iPad there. Though we didn't find the case we both got a Smart covers and I picked another set of Earphone with Remote and Mic, as my previous ones were stolen. I also grabbed a dual USB car charger as once again my previous one was stolen.

Though we didn't find cases we got plenty of other goodies for our iPads. One thing is for sure.. owning a iPad is not cheap.. spent over $325 dollars today on just accessories.

One Week From Today

Wow.. one week from today Harry will be on a plane back to Austria. Never would have thought when I meet him eight + years ago that this would ever end, but it just goes to show you that you never know what your future holds. Though we've been broken up for months now it doesn't really feel like we have broken up. During those months we lived together, eaten together, watch TV together and hung out like we did when we were a couple. But as the day approaches of him actually leaving I'm feeling more emotional about it. And I guess that is to be expected. Not that I ever expected to get back together with him, but him leaving actually makes it real. I've come home everyday from work the past eight years and he's been there to greet me. But a week from today he won't be.

I'll be alone for the first time in eight years. Part of me can't wait for that, as I've always lived with someone, first my parents, then roommates. I did have a 10 month stay of living alone before meeting Harry. But part of me will be lonely, I don't like being alone. I'm going to be living in the middle of no where in a big house all by myself and that's going to take some getting use to. I'm sure I'll cry when we say goodbye, this past week I've cried on my way home from work just thinking about the whole situation. Not sure what my future holds, but I'm looking forward to taking that first step.

My New iPad

Today our new iPads showed up. I had to replace my stolen netbook and instead of buying another netbook I opted to go with an iPad 2. A friend of mine (Lisa) works for Apple and was gracious enough to let us use her "friends and family" discount... and by we I mean Harry and I as we both have been wanting to get one.

So they arrived in the afternoon and I was still at work so I had to wait until I got home to open it and play around. I got home around 9pm and immediately opened my iPad to check it out. First thing that Harry and I did was plug into our computers and start downloading Apps. Since I have an iPhone I already had quite a few apps but Harry was starting from scratch. But I did know the very first app I was going to download was the Star Trek Padd app.. which I did and it's AWESOME!!! Didn't get a lot of time to explore it as I had to go to bed and get up for work tomorrow but I know days this will become my favorite new toy and I'm hoping I can use it alot for my podcasting.

What A Day!!!

Started off getting my Jeep smogged. The older the jeep gets the more worried I am that one day it won't pass smog. My tags expired at the end of July but because the DMV is so backed up the extended it for another month. But my jeep passed and I finished renewing my registration.

I got up early to get the smog so I was finished by 9am, which gave me an hour to get to work. I normally hit traffic but today it was sooo horrible. It started backing up at Nordoff and for those who don't know the 405 that's about 4 miles from where it normally does. It was hot and my jeep as no AC so I'm sweating, sitting in traffic and it was miserable. It's times like that when I ask myself, why do I work so far away from where I live. But even with the bad traffic I got to work around 10:20.

Lot's to do today.. well everyday now that the show are starting to finish up. And as soon as I sat down problems started to happen. One issue was an actual mistake that I made but luckily it wasn't too bad and was fixable. Around lunch I needed a break and walked to a local food court. While there I got a call asking why I wasn't on this weekly chat (every week each department jumps on a conference call and goes over their status). Well I never got the email informing me of this so that is why I wasn't on this call. I then got a call from "someone" and they started to yell at me, saying it wasn't their responsibility to make sure I'm on the calls... blah blah blah.. Don't  have a clue why they were attacking me but I didn't appreciate it and did everything in my power not to yell back. I too old to be yelled at. There is a way to talk to people and this wasn't the correct way. I'm on the verge of just walking, of course I would burn a few bridges but to be honest I don't care. Only thing that's keeping me here is loyalty to a few co-workers and if I quit I can't collect unemployment.

It's now 5pm and only have a few more hours left in the office but things seemed to have died down a bit. At least enough for me a breath and calm down from earlier events. So for now I'll stick it out.. only have another month and a half, but it's going to be a really hard and stressful month and a half... ugg!!

Booking my Florida Trip to WWofHP

This has been a Potter kind of day. My day started with a buddy signing me up for Pottermore, my user name is FireboltCrimson66 and I finally after putting it off for a few month because my work end date kept getting pushed back. Well regardless if my job gets pushed back the time has come to book a flight and hotel. I've been wanting to go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter since it opened last June 2010.  So today I did it.. I booked my flight for Monday October 3rd and will be returning to LA on Friday October 7th. So I arrive Monday, attending The Wizarding World on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and then flying back home on Friday. I was going to stay another week and do Disney World since I have never been there but it came down to cost. With my flight, hotel and 3 day pass at Universal it's costing me about $1000. Since I will not be working and have no job lined up I figured it was best to limit my costs so I opted to only do Universal this trip and plan a Disney World trip in the future.

Anyways I'm extremely excited to be going. I am going solo but that really doesn't bother me, but if there are any friends out there who want to join me please drop me a line. Of course I'll be taking daily video and pictures and blogging about each day there. October 3rd can't get here soon enough!!!

Pottermore

First of all if you don't know what Pottermore is it's an online community for Harry Potter fans, there is nothing else like it out there. They started beta testing it on Sunday July 31st (Harry Potter's Birthday). 7 Books, 7 Days, 7 Chances is there slogan. Once a day The Magical Quill will appear and ask a question. If you answer it correctly and there are still slots you can get in to be a beta tester. Well the first day was Sunday and it happened sometime in the early AM, 2am I think so when I got up and went to the page it informed me that Day 1 registration was closed... it was only 7am and already closed.

So I was determined to stay up last night for Day 2. Well 1am came and I fell asleep. They don't announce the times but they seem to be more European times while it's super early here in the US, especially the west coast. Anyways by the time I got up at 7am Day 2 registration was closed. I was bummed, figured I wasn't going to be one of the beta testers and would just join in October when it opens up to the public.

Well I get on my computer and noticed a message from my buddy Jerod. he said "Oh by the way I signed you up for Pottermore, I hope you don't", "you're password is ******". I was in shock.. I wasn't sure which email account he used or anything so I quickly went to my Gmail account and there was the email informing me that my Pottermore user name is FireboltCrimson66 and all I had to do is click on this link enter my password and a letter(invite) would be sent to me with in two weeks. So I clicked the link and that's it.. I'm now part of Pottermore. Waiting for my letter with my official invite but I sat there with tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe how awesome Jerod was for doing that. I never mentioned it to him I only tweeted a few tweets yesterday about not being able to get an invite and here it is.

I truly have some amazing friends.. Thank Jerod.. you made this one of the best Monday in a long time.

KOTG CC Pick Up Interviews

Today I headed over the Kim Evey's house were several of the Guild cast were being interviewed for some DVD extras stuff. Since I wasn't able to interview everyone on set during the shooting of Season 5 I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to sit down while they are waiting to be interview and interview them myself.

When I first got there Sean Becker was being interviewed by the DVD crew and Vince was just hanging out waiting for his turn so I grabbed and we needed to talk Episodes 11 & 12 as I had gotten everything else on set. Had a great conversation with him and then Sean Becker came out and podbombed us.. it was pretty funny.

Vince went in to do his DVD interviews and I sat down with Sean Becker to discuss episode 3, when none other then Miss Felicia Day came in and podbombed Sean's interview.. at first she just stood there staring at him while he talked and made him uncomfortable.. then they bantered back and forth.. great stuff.

After Sean I went in and watched Felicia being interviewed for the DVD. I had already talked to her about a few episodes so didn't need to interview her today. My next interview was Amy and that was a great interview, lots of cool info about Amy and her thoughts on Tink this season. And finally my last interview for the day was Robin and she's always a laugh.. it was a nice way to end the day.

Got lots of great audio clips for some upcoming KOTG CompanionCasts.. can't wait share them with you all. Remember new episodes are out every Friday following a new episode of The Guild

Hiking Vasquez Rocks

Today I took my friends Jeff and Adam (Bel-Rand), who is visiting from Sweden for a hike at Vasquez Rocks. Adam is a city boy and had never gone hiking in his entire life, yes he's only 22 but still.. to never have gone hiking!!! Well Jeff who is visiting from the East Coast came out last year and I took him to Vasquez and he really liked it so we had to take Adam.

Both Jeff and Adam didn't have hiking/climbing shoes so instead of climbing the "famous" peak we opted for the rather "not so steep" but just as nice hike on the other side. We hiked for about an hour, it was hot and there was a slight breeze in certain areas but it was a fun hike. Adam seemed to enjoy it. Adam isn't a Star Trek fan.. yet. So he didn't know the significance of Vasquez Rocks but still seem to appreciate the cool looking rocks.

After our hike we picked up Harry and went out to lunch at Islands, again seems to be a favorite of mine to take out of town guests.

So all in all a nice visit and I'm glad I got to hang out with Jeff and Adam one last time before they head back home.

Harry Potter in IMAX 3D

Tonight after work I went to City Walk to hang out one last time with my buddy Thomas who is visiting from Ireland. We planned to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 in IMAX 3D. We saw this on the day it premiered in 2D but he wanted to see it again and in IMAX as he's never been to an IMAX movie. And like I wouldn't take any opportunity to see Harry Potter again. I've been so busy that this is only my second viewing.

Before the movie we wanted to grab some dinner so we headed to Johnny Rockets and ate burgers and fries and chatted about Ireland. After dinner we walked around City Walk and check out the shops until around 10:30pm when we headed into the theater got some soda, popcorn and milkduds then headed into the IMAX theater. The movie started at 10:45 and when it started the 3D was off and everything was doubled. But after a few people complained they fixed it within 5 minutes.

We both agree Seeing Harry Potter in an IMAX theater is epic.. the 3D.. not so much. But it was still great seeing Harry Potter 7 part 2 and it was fun hanging out with Thomas one more time before he heads home to Ireland.

Doing Better

Feeling better today, not hurting so much though my feet lower legs look like someone took a razor blade to them. As I thought it's going to take a few weeks for them to heal (but it was totally worth it). Neck is feeling better.. a little stiff but not bad.

Donations, love and support continue to come in... my "online" friends continue to amaze me. Got an email from my buddy Adam asking if it was cool if he tried to set up something to help get funds to get new equipment. Also Brian and some Guildies are kicking around the idea of starting a Kickstarter project to fund my new equipment.

I'm feeling better about Comic Con, blogged about the first few days and it made me smile. Posting pictures up on facebook and it's reminding me of all the good times.

I also want to give a shout out and HUGE Thank you to Jason Palmer (favorite artist of mine). One of his pieces that I purchased a SDCC, this Epic Star Wars print was taken. So I emailed him asking if he had another one that I could purchase as I really loved it. He wrote a very supportive email and asked for my address and said he would send me a replacement one at no cost to me. How awesome is that!!

 

Jason Palmer: http://www.jasonpalmer.net/index.html

The Next Morning

Don't think I fell asleep until around 2am and was back up at 6am for work. Wasn't feeling to hot, my feet were sore from the Hobbit feet and my neck was hurting from the wipe lash from the accident I was in last night. Took a long hot shower hoping it would make me feel better.. didn't really work. Got out of the shower and walked the dog, then the first thing I did was call the SD Police to report the theft. As I predicted there isn't much they can do. They took down all my info and created a report and they will see if there is surveillance footage of the parking garage but they are doubtful that our stuff will be found.

I don't think my car insurance covers theft (as I got the bare minimum) but I'll look into it just to be safe and I was also told that my home owners insurance might cover theft from my car.. so I'm looking into that as well.

I was so not in the mood to work but after taking off three days last week I knew I had alot to do to catch up and I was right. Today was a horrible day at work, lots of stuff going on and way to much stress for me. Didn't have a chance to call neither my home or car insurance.. will have to do that tomorrow.

One positive note and it goes to show you how wonderful my "online" family is. Word got out that I was robbed and that I lost my podcasting equipment among other things and several guildies sent me donations towards replacing my equipment. Vince Caso (Bladezz on The Guild) emailed me and asked if there was anything he could do as well as several friends. Support was coming from all over the place and it made this bad situation a little better.

I'm trying hard to not let this ruin SDCC for me as I really did have a great time but when I think about it all I remember is the robbery. I hope in a few days I can look back at this years can and smile.

Thieves & Car Accidents

Well I had had a great 2011 Comic Con experience, up to about 7pm when Troy and I headed back to the convention center to get in my jeep and head home. I turned off my alarm and walked over to the drives side when I noticed that my back driver side window was unzipped (I have a soft top) and opened. I looked into the car and noticed clothes all over the place. We had been robbed!! I quickly went inside the car and started to pull everything out to see what was taken. My heart dropped when I noticed that my entire bag of electronics was gone. Inside that bag was my Dell Netbook, MXL 990 Condenser microphone, sony portable audio recorder, battery charger for my still camera, 2 microphone stands, XLR to USB icicle converter, Flip cam and various other little things, like KOTG business cards as well as my own personal business cards. KOTG postcards and flyer's.  They also took my Harry Potter wand, my GPS, my Lighter Plug in USB port and another thing that really stung my poster tube with my just purchased ($90) Star Wars print from Jason Palmer, my three beautifully autographed Team Unicorn posters and my two Guild posters and my friends Ben's autographed picture.  As Troy was going through his stuff I could hear him groaning, they got his laptop with years of photos that he's never backed up, they got his camera battery charger and all his autographed photos and posters as they were being stored in my poster tube as well.

It was thought I was punched in the stomach. Troy just sat there on the floor looking lost, my instinct was to just get out of there.. I wanted nothing more then to go home, crawl under my bed sheets and cry. so I grabbed everything through it in a bag and left. On the way home I debated on calling the police, I knew there would be nothing they could do, so I opted to wait until I got home to call. Troy slept all the way home, there were several times when I though I would need to pull over the throw up (but luckily I did not). There was so much traffic and I just wanted to get home.. the more I sat there the sicker I felt. Finally after 3 hours I got Troy home. Still had another hour and a half with no traffic to get to my place.

As I got back on the 405 the car in front of me slammed on his breaks and I did the same, but the person behind me was too slow and I heard them hit their breaks and looked in my rear view mirror to see their lights heading right for me. They hit the back of my jeep dead on. I was thrown forward (thank goodness for seat belts) and in a daze for a second. I turned on my signal to pull to the side of freeway and thought the person was going to do the same thing but as I turned to see if they were behind me they zoomed by my car and were gone. I sat there shocked and shaking. I tried to calm myself down as I got out of my Jeep to see what kind of damage they did as they hit me pretty hard. To my surprise there was nothing.. at least nothing I could see in the low light I was in. I took a few moments to collect myself before jumping back on the freeway and heading home.

I got home around midnight, said hi to Harry and went bed. This wasn't how I wanted to end my San Diego Comic Con experience.  I was emotionally and physically exhausted. I will call the SD police in the morning and report the theft, I'm still not sure if I know everything they took.  Did a quick add up of both Troy and my stuff and the theft or thieves got away with over $3000 dollars.

Not sure what I'm going to do next.. just need this day to end.

San Diego Coimc Con - Day 4 - Sunday

Got a great night sleep and was up early today, we had a lot to do before the con started at 9am. Had to drive Michael and his stuff to his truck and then go back to my hotel and packed up as we were checking out. Everything went as planned,  we got everything in the jeep, checked out and even booked a room for next year just to be safe.

I had purchased a parking pass for under the convention center so it would be easier of us to leave when it was over. I had planned to dress up in my Harry Potter robes but after spending two days as a Hobbit all I wanted to do was enjoy the dealers room and shop. So I opted for just a geeky shirt only. Once again Troy and I parted ways and I wandered the floors by myself for a bit taking pictures. My brother called and said he was heading home. I hooked with my buddy Thomas and we walked the floor for a bit before he headed off to the Guild booth. About an half hour later we hooked back up at Nerd HQ for the Team Unicorn signing and I got three beautiful posters of the lovely geek girls. We then both went back to the Guild booth as I needed to get several of the Guild new posters and finally get my friend Ben's picture that he sent to me months ago signed by the cast. Once we were both done there we headed down to our cars to drop off the pictures and posters.

We meet up with my friend Jen who joined Thomas and I at Cafe Diem for some lunch... I love that place. And I covertly "borrow" one of their cool menus. I figure they can't use them again for next year so why not get a souvenir. While there Jeff Valdez found us and hung out for a bit. After lunch we headed back to con and Thomas went to see if he could get in line for the Doctor Who panel and Jen, Jeff and I met up with other Guildies and walked the floor. Around 4 we headed to the Guild booth for a final Guildie meet up and photo op. At 5pm the San Diego Comic con 2011 was officially over. 

We didn't want to leave right away as traffic would be horrible, Thomas, Jen, Troy, Aaron, Chris and myself headed to the Strip Club restaurant (it's a play on words). We get in there and notice that folks are cooking their own meat. I thought it was kind of cool but several of the folks at the table didn't think so ::cough:: Chris ::cough::. He just couldn't understand how they can charge you these high prices and then make you cook your own meat.  It didn't stop him from doing it but we got an ear full. :) As we were leaving we noticed another bunch Guildies seating down for dinner and said hi and goodbye as we left.

We all parted ways and Troy and I headed back to the convention center to head home.  When we got to my jeep I couldn't believe what I saw.

San Diego Coimc Con - Day 3 - Saturday

Since I missed so much of yesterday I was going to make sure I spent as much time at the con today as possible. Though I got in from the party around 12:30am and went to bed around 1am, I was up early around 6 and started to get ready. I didn't want to have to wait for anyone to put on my ears this morning so I actually slept with them on. I wrapped a t-shirt around my head and slept that way. So this morning I took off the shirt and the ears looked great. As for my feet, I was actually going to sleep in them because they were such a pain to get on yesterday but with the shoehorn I was hoping it wouldn't be so bad. And I needed to get them off anyways as I had some major blisters because unfortunately I gave Greg some "smaller" shoes I couldn't wear socks with them so I had to go barefoot in them and all the rubbing and sweat irritated my feet.

So first thing was to take a shower and soak my feet, but I couldn't get my head wet as I wasn't sure if the ears would stay on. I wanted to add more hair to my Hobbit feet as some fell off during the day yesterday. So with my hobbit ears on I walked to 7-11 to get some white glue. It was funny as they were setting up a farmers market in front of our hotel and I walked passed about 20 or so people and not one of them gave me a second look. Even the cashier at 7-11 didn't acknowledge that I had on Hobbit ears.

When I got back to the hotel I grabbed some snipping from the hair cut yesterday and attempted to add hair to my feet. I was somewhat successful but more of the hair just wound up sticking to my hands. Once I was done I got my Hobbit outfit on, minus the vest (lost a button at the party), then the wig and finally my feet. Again my right one went on with no issues but the left one took about 30 minutes before I could slip it on. I knew that my feet were suffering but I didn't care. I wanted to spend all day in my Hobbit outfit. I worked hard on it and wanted to show it off.

Troy and I took a taxi to the convention center this morning as I said my feet weren't doing so well. My brother was still at the hotel sleeping in a bit and planned to have his wife Lora drive down to SD and drop off his Tron outfit. Once at the convention center Troy and I parted ways and I started my rounds. I planned on doing nothing but walking around taking pictures and having pictures taken of me.

The Guild panel was the only panel I wanted to see today and was at 4ish, but I still hadn't heard if I was going to be able to get in. So I went to Brian and asked, he informed me that I would need to stand in line and if I didn't get in he said to linger in the hallways and he might be able to get me in to stand against the wall. I have to admit I was upset, hurt and disappointed. He said the reserve seating was for press and sponsors. So when the time came to get in line it was hot outside and there was no way I was going to stand in line for hours in my Hobbit outfit hoping to get in. So I opted to not go at all and for the first time I didn't get to the Guild panel :(

My brother Micheal finally showed up but not in costume as his Tron outfit had some electrical issues. And then my friend Leslie arrived in costume and we roamed the lobby area. I knew with Leslie by my side I'd be getting in a lot more pictures and that was the case. We stood in one spot for about a half hour and had person after person come take our pictures... first together, then separately.. it was pretty awesome. Then my friend Chris showed up in costume and he and Leslie decided to head back to their hotel and change. So I walked around a bit more, though my feet were killing me. Until the floor closed at 7pm. Michael, Troy and I met up with my buddy Scott and we decided to go grab a bite to eat. We waited for Chris and Leslie who were suppose to go to the hotel and change and then come back but they never showed up again. My buddy Thomas did show up and have a bite with us.

We were all invited to a party but I was spent, my feet were killing me and bleeding and I needed to get back to the hotel. Troy, Thomas, and Scott opted to party hop while Michael and I headed back to our hotel. It was about 10pm when I got back to the hotel and I took off my Hobbit feet to see all the sores and bruises caused by the feet... it's going to take a few weeks for my feet to fully heal.

Overall Saturday had some super highs (having hundreds of people take my photo) and super lows (not getting into the Guild panel), but over all it was another fun day at comic con.

San Diego Coimc Con - Day 2 - Friday - KOTG Live Podcast / BBQ

So Jenni and I have been wanting to do something for Knights of the Guild podcast at Comic Con, last year we attempted to rent a place to have a Guild trivia night but things didn't work out. This year our good friend Lydia offered us the Guildie Townhouse to do a live Knights of the Guild broadcast. We figured we might as well have a little party as well. So I set up the invite and went through my facebook friends and added those I thought would be interested. By the end there were over 100 guests and I knew this house would hold maybe 30 tops. We also got approached by a geeky band who wanted to play live music at this party. I knew it had gotten out of hand so I cancelled it. I still wanted to do the live podcast and have friends over so I sent out another invite and we wound up with about 30 people this time around.

So I had gotten to the Guild house earlier that day (read my previous blog) and dropped off all the food and drinks. The party started at 7pm and the live podcast started at 7:30pm. So Chris, Leslie, Michael and I got to the house around 6:30 to start to set up (well I did, the others sat on the patio and started the party early). Eva and Louis were already at the house and helped me set up things. 7 came and folks started to show up. Chris started the BBQ and folks kept coming. Soon we had over 50 people in the house, luckily it's a large house but I didn't know or invite 1/3 of the people, which upset me because I purchased the beer, drinks and food that everyone was eating. Anyways.. the party was hopping, we had Rock Band in the living room, BBQ out on the patio and live podcasting in the office. We had planned to start at 7:30 but my co-host Jenni was no where to be found. We also planned to do a video podcast but again due to technical issues we could only do an audio podcast and broadcast audio only. At 8 there was still no sign of Jenni so I enlisted the help of fellow podcaster Andrew of Podcast Squared and my brother Michael to co-host the show with me.

We first started with an interview with Vince (the only cast member to join us.. Thanks Vince) who plays Bladezz on the show. Then I interview extra Anne and then stunt woman/actress America Young when down the stairs came walking Jenni who was up stairs sleeping this entire time. As she sat down with David from Whedonopolis who came to our event to do an article for the website. I got a break to walk around and visit with folks. When Jenni was done she got up and went to play RockBand and I grabbed by buddy Thomas from Ireland and sat down to do a fan interview about CC with him. Soon after my friend Andrew joined us and took over as I went off to socialize a bit more. Once those guys were done I wrapped up the show, saved it and looked forward to posting next week. (which will never happen, will explain in SDCC Sunday blog).

So the podcast was over and the party was rocking. Folks seemed to be having a blast. The party was officially suppose to end at 10pm but actually went to 11pm by then folks started to leave and then around 11:30 Lydia and I shewed the remaining stragglers out.

Overall the Podcast didn't go as planned, there were a bit more party goers then planned but the food and drinks seemed to last and everything told me how much fun they had... so in the end the first Knights of the Guild Live Podcast / BBQ party was a success.

San Diego Coimc Con - Day 2 - Friday

Today I was up around 7am and out the door by 7:30am. I had to get my jeep and drive to Ralphs to buy all the food and drinks for tonight's Knights of the Guild live podcast / BBQ party. The trip was uneventful, got to Ralphs and got hot dogs, burgers, chips, soda, beer and such, spent a about $200. Drove over to The Guild townhouse and after some text/tweets/phone play got in and started to unload all the goodies. While at the townhouse I planned to met with Greg Aronowitz's who had my Hobbit ears and feet and Leslie who was going to cut and style my Hobbit hair around 10am. Today I was going to go in full costume as a Hobbit. I was extremely excited as I've been working on this outfit for months and it was all coming together finally. So I sat and waited, and waited, and waited until around 11 when my brother called me and said he was close by and asked what city SDCC was in. I told him San Diego but his online direction sent him to La Mesa. After setting him straight it took him another half hour until he made it to the townhouse to start his SDCC adventure. I had already heard from Leslie and she was running late helping other people and would be over soon. Noon rolled around and I have to admit I was getting very frustrated that no one had showed up. I was wasting my Friday sitting at the Guild townhouse. Around 1:30 I almost gave up and just went to con, but then both Greg and Leslie showed up about the same time and I got a good look at my Hobbit feet in person for the first time, they were pretty EPIC!!! He also brought my ears and glued them on. He left and Leslie went to work on make up and blending my ears in with the rest of my face. After that she went to work on the wig. Since I had my ears on and we didn't want to mess with them my brother got volunteered to put on the wig and have Leslie cut it. Half hour later she had it look 1000 times better then it did. It still isn't the best wig but she did wonders with it. I put on my Hobbit clothes and tried to put on my hobbit feet, with no success. It's now 2pm and half of my comic day is over.

We still had to take both cars (Michael's and mine) back to the hotel, get my feet on and get to con. We dropped off my Jeep at my hotel and then attempted to put on my Hobbit feet. After struggling 20 minutes I got my right one on, but a half hour later it was no use I couldn't get on my left one. Greg had mentioned that I should get a shoehorn but I didn't take his advice.. now I was regretting it. So around 3pm we went in search for a shoehorn and fifteen minutes and 3 stores later, we were successful. We took Michael's truck to the petco parking garage and once there it took a few minutes but I got my left foot on and my outfit was complete. I was hot, sweaty and uncomfortable but I was ready for comic con. We arrived at the convention center around 4pm. Six hours later then I expected.

Before I even got into the convention center I was having people asking to take picture of me. Inside Michael and I did a bit of walking around. This was Mikes first time and he was in awe of the largeness of it all. We did the floor for an hour or so but with my Hobbit feet I was afraid of having someone step on them so I opted to show him around the entire convention center. As we walked around I had 50 or 60 folks ask if they could take pictures and inquire about my Hobbit feet. We meet up with Chris and Leslie and the three of them hung back and listen as people would see me and say things like .. look it's a Hobbit or wow look at those feet, or yell out Hey Bilbo, or Hey Frodo. It was only about three hours but it was a blast having folks appreciate all the hard work that went into my costume. About 6:30 Chris, Leslie, Michael and I headed to the Guild townhouse but before that we stopped by a CVS which was interesting as folks inside who were not con goers checked me out in my full Hobbit garb. Will post another blog about The Knights of the Guild Live Podcast / BBQ event.

While the day started with frustrations it ended well as I now have a fantastic Hobbit costume.

San Diego Coimc Con - Day 1 - Thursday

Got a decent night sleep last night, had fun at preview night and was looking forward to today. There were several panels that I wanted to see today. The One Ring dot net "The Hobbit", Dragon Age and Clone Wars Season Four. First one "The Hobbit" was set to start at 10am so I up and out the door around 8:30am so I could get to the con by 9am. While heading over I was getting tweets that folks were already lining up. As the panel after The Hobbit was the very popular Felicia Days' new webseries Dragon Age (which I always wanted to see). So when I go there I found my friend Dani a few people from the front but couldn't jump in line with her because of the barriers, as I continued to walk around the line I found several other friends Anne and Rachelle in line and they waved me over to join them. Three hobbit ladies were grumbling about line cutting but I didn't care I was getting in to both panels.

The One Ring dot Net is a great site for all things Lord of the Rings. It is a fan site so they presented all the information that they had gathered about the two Hobbit movies. It was a cool panel, though I think I already knew everything they announced as I frequently read their website. After that panel was Felicia Days' Dragon Age Redemption panel. George Ruiz moderated while actors Felicia Day and Doug Jones along with several game creators and crew were on the panel. They showed the trailer and unfortunately it was in black and white (tech issues), but we did get to see it again in all it's color glory. That panel was fun, Felicia Day is always a great speaker and she was in her element.

After that I had a few hours to kill so I headed down to the sales floor. My friend Chris arrived and we hooked up. We grabbed some lunch (pretzel dog) and headed out back to eat near the water. Once we were done there we both wanted to do a Star Wars panel, he wanted to so Star Wars The Old Republic and I wanted to do Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 4. Luckily they were back to back in room 6BCF. They line was huge so we decided to get in a few hours early and hopefully get in by the time his panel started. Well I didn't know 6BCF is a large room and they started to let folks in and soon enough we were inside for the Tekken Vs Street Fighter panel. It was a very bizarre panel, but folks seem to love it. I have never been into either of those games so I really didn't know what was going on. But an hour later Chris' Star Wars The Old Republic (Star Wars MMO) panel started and that was very enjoyable. Though I don't intend to play (crappy internet), I love Star Wars and it was fun seeing what they had come up with. Then it was time for the panel I was really looking forward to today... Star Wars the Clone Wars Season 4. Had a few of the producers but the person I was most excited to see and hear was the show runner himself Dave Filoni. He and George are the mastermind behind one of the coolest TV series currently on. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and each week I get a piece of this new epic story. They were there to talk about the upcoming Season 4, they showed six or seven clips and it all looked AMAZING.

Joining the guys on stage were Team Unicorn (Michele, Milynn, Clare and Rileah) dressed as Night Sisters.. they looked GREAT!!

After the panel I wanted to hang around to see if I could get a picture with the Unicorn girls as I know 3 of the 4 of them. As they came out they saw me and immediately came over to hug me. I asked for a pix and they were happy to do so. Then Ray Wise (Twin Peaks) came up and asked for a picture. Bonnie Burton was there and I got a picture with her, Kyle Newman (Director of Fanboys) was there and finally to my surprise Dave Filoni was there and I had saw him earlier on the show room floor and I wanted to say hi so bad but chicken out but this time I was determined to say hi and to thank him for The Clone Wars and I did just that. I think I stumbled on my words but he got the idea. I asked if I could get a picture and he said of course. Meeting Dave was a highlight of my 2011 comic con experience.

After that I was on cloud nine, Chris and I headed back to the floor met up with a few friends here and there but around 7pm we headed to a near by Ralphs as I needed to buy all the food and drinks for my Knights of the Guild live podcast bbq. But as we got closer to Ralphs Chris and I knew there would be no way of carrying all this stuff to the Guild townhouse where the party was happening. While we were walking we got a text from Andrew and Scott asking if we wanted to hook up for dinner. So we changed or plans Chris headed out to met up with Leslie and I headed to the Bristol Hotel for a New Media meet up. There I got to see so many "online" friends and even got to meet Angelique who I have talked to on Twitter forever but never met in person. Adam Levermore  was there and mentioned that a group of folks were going to go the Yard House for dinner. So we started to make our way there when we met up with Leslie, Chris and Leo. As we were talking by some hotel I noticed this very blue eyed boy smoking outfront, as I passed by he turned to look at our group and gave us a smile.. as we passed by him everyone looked around and said... wasn't that Elijah Wood.. Once at the Yard House there was going to be an hour wait so we opted to find another place. We also met Troy along the way. So now we were up to 13. We tried Hard Rock but they we no longer taking reservations so we ended up back on 5th at a place call Maloney's. There was no waiting which was great but the server was slow (might have been because of our large numbers). We grabbed two booths and enjoyed a good dinner and great company. Soon enough it was close to midnight and I needed to get back to my hotel to sleep as there was a lot do tomorrow.

San Diego Comic Con - Pre-View Day

Comic Con - Pre-View Day

Woke up early today as I couldn't sleep. It's like Christmas for geeks.. The San Diego Comic Con is about to begin. I still had a ton of things to do before I headed down. I still needed to pack. I had gathered all my stuff together and put it in the dining room but still needed to go into the garage and get the suitcases. This year I was dressing up as well so I also had to make sure I grabbed all the parts to both of my costumes. I am also podcasting live from SDCC so I had to pack up my mobile recording unit. So there was still lots to pack up. I was up at 5:30am (as I said earlier, I couldn't sleep). So I started to pack and was finished around 9am. I then went out to my Jeep and cleaned it up. I also have a slow leaking tire that I have been wanting to get fixed for a week or so but my work schedule as prevented me from doing so. So I was going to switch out my full spare for that tire but couldn't get the nuts off the tire so I'll just have to deal with the slow leak, hopefully that won't case me any issues this week.

At 10am I was ready to head out, stopped first to put air in the tire and fill up my tank, then went to the store to pick up some snacks, water and such. By 10:30 I was on the road heading to Los Alomitos to pick up my friend Troy who was joining me at SDCC this year. Got to his place around 11:30, had to run an errand for him and then we headed down to San Diego Noon. Traffic wasn't bad, a few pockets of traffic but got here down here in just a few hours.

We went to the hotel but it was too early to check in but fortunately they had a parking space underneath so I was able to park my Jeep under the hotel and Troy and I headed to the Convention Center to pick up our passes. Our Hotel is about 2 miles from the Con so it's a nice walk. As we got closer to he con the excitement built. Every year I swear I'm not doing SDCC next year but when it's time to book a hotel or buy tickets I forgot all the craziness and do it.. Anyways on our way to the con we ran into my buddies Andrew and Scott who were eating lunch at a pub. We said hi and said we would be back once we got our passes.

We got to the convention center and it wasn't too bad.. sure there were thousands of people but the bulk had not yet arrived. We walked right in to the convention center and ten minutes later we had our passes and were ready to go. Once we had our passes we headed back to Andrew and Scott but before we got to them I had some woman off the street ask if she could get a picture of me. I wasn't dressed up or anything.. just wearing my Flash tshirt. It was very bizarre. Well we got back to Andrew and Scott and had a great lunch with those guys. Once we were done we said our goodbyes and headed back to the hotel to check in.

We checked in and we got some great rooms with a beautiful view. We're on the top floor and on the outside looking over the water. After we checked in we took a quick break before heading back to the convention center for the start of preview night at 6pm. We got there around 6:30pm and headed to the Guild booth to say hi to the cast who were signing. Got to meet up with a few more Guildies, finally started to walk the floor with Troy and Thomas and got about 90% of it done before they started to close the hall at 9pm.

After they closed the hall most of the Guildies went to the Hammer Improv show, but Troy and I went to Cafe Diem to grab some dinner. I love Cafe Diem and try and eat there as much as I can. Once we were done eating we headed to the Omni for a Think Hero meet up but when we got there we didn't see any familiar face and we were tired so we decided to head back to the hotel room.

Got back to the room around 11:30pm and crashed.. I had blisters on both feet and soreness in very delicate parts of the body. Stayed awake another hour or so chatting with Troy before going to bed.

Gotta get up early for the first day of SDCC.

Pictures to follow!!

So Much To Do!!!

Here was my plan for Saturday:  Get my Jeep Smoged/registered and the tire fixed. Interview Kim and Sean for KOTG CompanionCasts, edit a portion of KOTG CC 501 and 502 and Edit KOTG #35. Also I'll try and sew buttons and hem my Hobbit pants and try and find a Hobbit wig.

Well this is what I actually got done. I finished Knights of the Guild episode #35, interviewed Kim Evey and Sean Becker for my KOTG CompanionCast and worked on stringing out episode 501 for the CompanionCast.  And that was all.. not nearly as much as I wanted to do but better then nothing.

So my Sunday plan was interviewing Felicia for KOTC CC, finished the 1st two KOTG CC 501 & 502. Finish KOTG #35 and finish MASH 4077 Podcast #13 and if I can't find a Hobbit wig I'll attempted to do that was well. Oh and I'll prepare for Comic Con.

And what I actually got done; worked on my Hobbit pants, sewed on buttons and hem (shortened) them. Found and tried to alter a wig, finished my next MASH 4077 Podcast episode 13, Interviewed Felicia Day for KOTG CC 501, 502, and 503. Added Felicia's audio to episode 501 of the CompanionCast (but didn't finish it).

So I got everything done with exception to getting my Jeep smogged and the tired changed. And finishing KOTG CompanionCast 501 & 502. And the wig I got is still not working the way I want.. still need to work on it.

I didn't get everything done as planned but I'm happy with the amount of work I did get done.

Two days to Comic Con and I still have so much to do.
