Sunday is the final day of the con and a bit chill. I only had the one press room and was able to walk the floor a bit. Highlights, yo.
- First and only press room of the day was for the Young Justice Cartoon. I was running a bit behind but caught the end of chatting with producer Brandon Vietti and art director Phil Bourassa. And then we got the lovely Danica McKellar (voice of "Miss Martian" on YJ). Winnie Cooper is all growed up! Really sweet and adorable. Don't believe me? See?
- I then had the rest of the day to roam the convention floor which I hadn't done since preview night. I had planned on getting a few interviews on the floor that day but it didn't work out as some folks were just too busy or had to leave early. I did manage to get a couple including Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Joyce Brabner (wife of the late Harvey Pekar). Said good-bye to some friends and made a few new ones as well. I do wish they'd leave the hall open until 6pm instead of 5 on Sundays.
- Back to the hotel to chill a bit and then some dinner at Nobu. (Told you...I'm addicted!). We're heading off to the Dead Dog party soon but then I get a text from Jonathan Ross. If you remember, I met him in London last year when he invited me to his chat show and home for an interview. We've stayed in touch and tried to get together over the week. Both just too busy. So he asks if I want to meet at his hotel for a drink. Cass and I head over and have a ball nerding out with him for about 2 hours. I wish I could have recorded our convos but if I did that all of the time, then I wouldn't have friends. Ha! I did pull the recorder out for about 5 minutes just to chat with him about his comic book work.
- Off to the Dead Dog party where I saw many friends relaxing and unwinding. Some I hadn't seen during the entire show because of busy schedules. A fine ending to a crazy week.
- Back to the hotel. I'm off to L.A. for a few days after. A ridiculously busy but super fun time at Comic-Con. Another successful year down! Apologies if I left anyone out. I know I just skimmed over things. Just too many to mention. Can't wait until next year!
