Comic Con Line Buddies II: Return of the Jedi! At Seen At The 2008 SDCC Comic Con International! We first met Susan Shinkai back in 2002 -- our first Comic Con as a married couple. We quickly became Line Buddies hooking up most morning to share stories of what we collect (Susan's into Star Wars, BSG and Disney), what we'd seen, and what programs we were planning to see. It's always a pleasure to while away the pre-opening hours in conversation with articulate Pop Culture fans. We look for Susan every year. Either we find her or she finds us. Susan's easy to spot in either her Jedi Knight uniform with light saber or her Pirates of the Caribbean outfit complete with a sword that's about as long as she is tall! But last year, no Susan. We'd wondered if we'd just missed her. Or if something had happened to prevent her coming. So when we didn't see her again on the first morning of this year's Comic Con, we were concerned. Well, I'm happy to report that we found Susan in line on Friday morning - she'd forgotten to pack her sword, but we still recognized her! Turns out she had an emergency at work and only made it to one day of the 2007 Comic Con. Michael and Susan got a chance to catch up while I went to wait with all the Watchmen fans outside Hall H. Tina! Addendum from Michael: Susan saw the first Star Wars Film at the Cornet Theater in San Francisco after attending a 1976 Star Trek Convention and seeing a trailer for the then upcoming Star Wars Film! BTW, We also have an ongoing Comic Con and Pop Culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale! Thanks for reading this post today and please join us again for more!
| As Tina stated in the column to the left, we were concerned that we had not seen Susan Shinkai at the 2007 SDCC Comic Con International.
