Don't try to adjust your computers...there is nothing wrong with your equipment. In the spirit of Comic-Con, it is the return of the new superhero---Fat Finger!! Keyboard challenged, he tries to maneuver his way to produce a blog that contains more than a title...TWICE! Mistaking the enter and publish key for the space bar--TWICE! he nevertheless plods on around the keyboard finding new and inventive ways to screw up the blogs and confuse his readers... No one knows his true identity and I'm sure no one cares, but he does his best to entertain... So let's get down to this story and hope that he doesn't swoop in before I'm finished...
I finished working at Comic-Con with a tired voice, exhausted body and aching feet, but I was glad I made the trip. My bosses and everyone involved were impressed with my performance so hopefully that will mean future gigs for our intrepid security guard... I got asked to drive one of the vans so that my boss could handle some business on the ride... dropped him at his home and finished the ride to Phoenix and returned the rental van...(congratulations on your promotion). So I look forward to future gigs...(he told me that if Phoenix is asked to help at the Barrett Jackson auction in Las Vegas that he would like me to attend...bonus!). The ride back was uneventful, except for one of the vans being pulled over by the police...(no it wasn't me, but we did wave when we passed it on the highway). The roughly six hour ride was draining ( I passed the time by watching the temperature gauge rise as we got closer to Phoenix---it started at 72 in Carlsbad and topped off at 108 in downtown Phoenix...welcome home). By the time I returned the rental van and my friend Michele (no, that's the way she spells it, one l) dropped me off at home (thanks, Michele) I was teetering on the edge of consciousness... I grabbed a bottle of water and laid down. It was great to get off my feet and relax... I know I don't work that often... (snicker, snicker) but when I do it's intense... It was going to be nice to lay around a few days and recover...
Some interesting highlights from Comic-Con... Watching the sign at the Motel 6 change daily for room rates... we arrived on Tuesday-59.95 per night, Wednesday-69.95, Thursday-89.95, Friday and Saturday-0.00(I guess the no vacancy sign was out of order. Do hotels even have them anymore? Is there any neon left at all or is all digital display now? I miss the hum of neon signs). Then back to 59.95 on Sunday when everyone left. The costumes were fantastic on some people and tragic on others... bless those fit women in their revealing Wonder Woman, Princess Leia, Poison Ivy, Lara Croft (I could go on for days) outfits walking around and providing a needed distraction from regular crowd control...(the guys were great too, according to my female colleagues dressed as the 300, Iron Man, He Man, etc.)...and bless the fit-challenged women and guys also dressed in costume (if they ever fit at one time, they sure don't now!). I don't know if I'll ever get the image of the guy wearing the Tron outfit with the immense beer gut and tights wedgie out of my head (he was like a car wreck--you couldn't take your eyes away fast enough). The professional actors and models walking around were tremendous especially the
