Comic-Con 99

So I did a couple trips to Comic-con back in 98 and 99. I promoed my comic "Wolf", Justin was doing "Goonsquad". And on this trip Jeremy G was our security. If you ever get a chance to go to Comic-con.. GO! It's even bigger now then it was back then. And even back then it was balls out crazy. You don't have to be a comic geek to enjoy it. There's all kinds of people. One of my favorite memories is Kirsten Dunst laughing a my shirt that just reads "Pervert". That and accidentally snaking past her security up one of the freakishly long esclators. I swear I had no idea. For the whole ride up i thought she was some blonde with a nice ass. Anyways, These are a few of the long lost pictures. Freaking sweet. http://comic-con.org/cci/

We had a little fun in the Marriot rooms. Lots of drinking.... I think. Kind of fuzzy. It's that what comic book super stars are required to do at Comicon. This party insured that I smelled like a Russian for the rest of the trip. Nothing new, but it was a great start.

This is Sergio Aragones. Justin was his aprentice when he lived in Cali. You might know him from Mad magazine. He does the little cartoons in the margins. I couldn't belive it. I collected all his books when I was a kid. Mad As A Hatter, Mad Marginals, More Mad Marginals. Real cool guy. We had a booth next to him the year before. http://www.sergioaragones.com/

Years before his tattoo business took off, Justin contemplated other job fields. They never called him back.
(c) Come N Thru Productions

I was hoping to start him smoking so he wouldn't be able to show up in any more Star Wars movies. It didn't work. Damn it.
(c) Come N Thru Productions

Yeah... that's about right.

This is Sampson. The last time I saw a picture of him, he was a couple hundred pounds, full mane, lion. He's a sweet heart.

Dad managed a factory outlet mall on the border of Nevada and Cali a few years back. As a result he gave some space to a tiger rescue group. Big Cats of the world or something like that. This is him getting a kiss from one of his friends. It was cool being in the cage with these guys. I quickly found out that the big ones are a lot easier to handle then the cubs. I walked a few of them and it was amazing to being that close to something so powerful. i remember thinking while walking one of the big girls "If this chick decides to take me down, there's not a damn thing I could do about it". I gave dad a tiger tattoo in which I used his favorite tiger, "Titan" as a model. He was the biggest of the whole group and would actually jump up and down when my father walked in. Too Cool.

A couple of the white tiger cubs. I still have a scar from a little guy named Wyatt, who was a few months older then these guys. The last time I say him was on some Travel Channel thing on magicans in Vegas. He looked good. Big too. I saw his brothers in California

I was a bouncer back in the day, at a club called Nicks on Bridge Street in Vail. This pic was from the time we got suspended. We partied with two off duty Vail cops until 5 in the morning one night. They ratted to save their jobs and we got shut down for a weekend. It was one hell of a fun place to work at. Party, fight, party, hit on girls, party, pass out, party.

This is an Ad for Nicks. I think it closed about a year after I left the valley. I missed the final farewell by about a week. I think it's been 3 different bars since then, but not nearly as scumy. Very few fights. Oh well

Chub and me kicking it at the old shop. There's just something wrong with that kid.... oh that's right he's Paulies. I guess he's pretty well rounded all things considering. And I guess I really don't have room to talk when I'm wearing a Spiderman jungle hat.
