That's Right! She  Attended The SDCC  Comic Con International This Past Week With Us And Has Already Left Today To 'Take Manhattan' with the Next eBay Blogger on Kooky's Summer Vacation Itinerary!

 

Which Is A Good Thing, Considering That Our Neighbors To The North In Chino Hills Just Had A 5.4 Earthquake 1 1/2 Hours Ago!

 

Kooky, Tina and Michael in the Breakfast Line-up! 

Well... We all have arrived back from the Comic Con that started Wednesday afternoon July 23rd with a 'Preview Night' in San Diego California!

Kooky 'Kook' the eBay Blog Pig, had a great time with us and will continue to share her experiences at this convention, the BIGGEST Comic Con in North America in several more blog posts to come!

So sit back and just enjoy a few photos from the Comic Con this year that Kooky is featured in!

Note: You can right click the photos, then copy and paste the 'properties' (url) of the pic to a new browser window, and then see larger photos of Kooky!

For those of you interested in upcoming films and TV Show promotional items, we invite you to check back later on our blog posts  when we'll be listing promotional items received at the programs and blogging about what we've seen there this year!

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... some of the posts will be about Kook / Kooky the eBay Blog Pig, but the majority will be of the programs and of course the costumed characters we encountered during all 5 days and nights of the Comic Con!

Kooky 'Kook' The Pig was an early riser with us this past week as we had to have underground parking space at the San Diego Convention Center to stockpile all our goodies from the Con!

We would leave around 5:00 A.M. at the latest each morning as the underground parking structure would fill up by 6:35 A.M. ! Above is Kooky making sure we didn't leave anything at our vehichle including her when we made our way up to ground floor of the Center!

Kooky 'Kook' The Pig would even beat the newscasters arriving there in the morning!  The news trucks would start trickling in, and then the 'live coverage' would start even later...

The photo to the top left is Kooky sitting on the bottom rightg of the truck's bumper. The photo at the top right is Kooky waiting to be interviewed by the 7/39 NBC news team.... However we would be inside the Center before they even started interviewing most mornings!

 

Kooky Kook The Pig Having Breakfast In Line with Michael and Tina

Kooky 'Kook' The Pig would have breakfast in line with us, as long as we didn't have any sausage or ham on the breakfast menu! We would bring portable stools to sit on, as when the line moves, there is very little warning to grab your stuff from a sitting position on the concrete!

Click Here For Signed Comics and Magazines that the Werewolf Didn't Eat! Click Here for ALL of our CURRENT Listings... We have Thousands MORE to List That We Saved From the Skeleton Guy!

Talking about breakfast menus..... The Werewolf at the top left was really hungry that early in the morning, and poor Kooky 'Kook' The Pig was almost a 'ham' breakfast for the Werewolf!  Good thing the Sun was finally coming up and the Werewolf changed back to human form before gobbling her up!

Another morning the Skeleton guy wanted to pignap her.... we decided not to let Kooky be on his breakfast menu either!  Sorry to say, there are no concession stands open that early in the morning at the Convention Center, so we had to fight off a lot of bad guys from eating Kooky Pig all up each morning!!

Kooky 'Kook' The Pig decided to let Tina wait in line for her, while she took a look at what else was in the Sails Pavilion.... And decided to 'hang' out at the autograph area!

Only problem was.... no autographs were being signed on 'Preview Night' so she decided to set up shop herself at Autograph Area #15 !

Kooky Kook The Pig Waiting and Waiting for Her Fans to show up....!

Poor Kooky 'Kook' The Pig... She set up shop, and no one, absolutely no one wanted her autograph!

However there were several early attendees that looked at Michael strangely as they passed by... as he continued to take photos of the famous pig 'Kooky / Kook'

Kooky The Pig loves CARTOON comics! 

Tiring of not receiving enough attention... Kooky 'Kook' The Pig decided to help promote the 'Robert A Heinlein Blood Drive' that is sponsored every year by the SDCC!   What a 'giving pig' she is!

Wonder Woman Wrecks Havoc at Warner Brothers!
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Comic Cons

 

Comic Con Preview Night:

Wonder Woman Wrecks Havoc at Warner Brothers...

At The SDCC Comic Con International 2008!

It was bedlam at Warner Brothers' Comic Con  booth Wednesday night as booth workers tossed out comic book, movie and tv show inspired "swag" bags. 

Michael saw the Wonder Woman bags being handed out (probably to spark interest in the Wonder Woman animated movie DVD being released in February 2009) and his eyes lit up as they do whenever his brain registers related to his favorite Amazon Queen. He quickly grabbed me by the elbow and we headed to the booth counter to get ours. 

A lot of other people had the same idea. 

In fact, it got so bad, the people who had bags couldn't leave the counter to allow others to grab theirs.  For the first time in eight years of Comic Con, I got my foot stomped on by a huge guy busting through the logjam!

The crowd got even more frantic when they ran out of Wonder Woman bags.  A near riot broke out when they opened up a new box after they said they had no more.  Oh if only the real Wonder Woman had been there to lasso the worst offenders with her golden lariot!

After about 15 minutes we were able to leave (empty handed!) with just some sore tootsies for our trouble!

I soothed Michael's disappointment by pointing out all the Wonder Woman-costumed attendees so he could take their pictures that you will be seeing here.  And, of course, we have a bunch of classic Wonder Woman comics that you can enjoy too.

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!

No wonder other male con-goers think Tina is a 'godess' among wives!  LOL

Villains Made It To The Preview Night!

Villains

Made It To The Preview Night!

 

At The SDCC Comic Con International 2008!

 

(Wednesday July 23rd, 2008)

 

Try as they might, the 2008 Comic Con  International Officials just can't keep the villains away from their 'Preview Night'!

But then again, they did keep the line moving for those early arrivals like us that came early to get an underground parking space!

One of the fun things to do while waiting to get into the con is to take photos of those attendees that arrive in costume.

Usually you'll see a lot more of them on the exhibit floor Thursday through Sunday, but the four pictured at the top right arrived early on Wednesday late afternoon / night!

They were very agreeable, (for villains!), and roamed through the top floors until opening time...

I'll be posting more photos, (I took 1,037 or 143.4 Mb), in our blog posts in the days to come, but I have to get back to invoicing, shipping, grading and listing to keep this business running!

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!

These are just four of the dastardly villains that crashed the 'Preview Night' of the 2008 Comic Con International! (Left to right: Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, and the Scarecrow, all from DC Comics!)  Since I saw them several times during the 4 1/2 day convention, they easily broke through the long lines to get into everything

 

For all of our currently listed Comic Con promos, comics  and Magazines listings just click on the photo above! We will be listing more from 2008 in the days to come!

Kooky 'Kook' The Pig Is Back From The Comic Con!

That's Right! She  Attended The SDCC  Comic Con International This Past Week With Us And Will Be Leaving Shortly To 'Take Manhattan' with the Next eBay Blogger on Kooky's Summer Vacation!

Kooky, Tina and Michael in line for 'Preview Night'! 

Well... We're back from the Comic Con that started Wednesday afternoon July 23rd with a 'Preview Night' in San Diego California!

Kooky 'Kook' the eBay Blog Pig, had a great time with us and will be sharing her experiences at this convention, the BIGGEST Comic Con in North America in several more blog posts to come!

(I had to catch up and acknowledge all the sales first thing today by sending eBay invoices, or payment acknowledgemnts, then posted +fb for all those leaving us +fb during our 'working vacation'.)

Now for a quick blog post, and then changing 'hats' and getting the sold items invoiced and wrapped for shipping either later today or tomorrow...

So sit back and just enjoy a few photos from the Comic Con during just the first few hours of 'Preview Day', before the official 'Preview Night' even opened!

For those of you interested in upcoming films and TV Show promotional items, we invite you to check back on our blog posts after Comic Con, when we'll be listing promotional items received at the programs and blogging about what we've seen there this year!

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... some of the posts will be about Kook / Kooky the eBay Blog Pig, but the majority will be of the programs and of course the costumed characters we encountered during all 5 days and nights of the Comic Con!

Click here to see our current Pop Culture and Comics Listings! 

Kooky 'Kook' The Pig wanted to know why we arrived so 'early' at the SDCC Comic Con International as we arrived there a little before 1:00 PM on Wednesday. After all, didn't Preview Night Run from 7-9 PM that night?

We had left at 12:00 Noon to make the trek down, only stopping to pick up a late lunch to consume while waiting in line. What Kooky didn't know, but soon was to find out, was that the underground parking structure would fill up hours before the Registration line even opened up!  I have made the mistake years ago about arriving too late, due to a SD Padres Baseball 'Day' Game going on at the same time across the street at the Ballpark, taking up almost all of the available parking in the area! 

The above photo is Kooky checking out what we are carrying up to wait in line with besides taking her!

Kooky Kook The Pig Can't Believe It's Sold Out Already, as the SD Convention Center Is So HUGE!

Kooky 'Kook' The Pig reading the 'warning sign' that the Comic Con was TOTALLY Sold Out before the Doors were even opened!!!

Kooky The Pig and Tina sort thru the good stuff from 2008 Comic Con Goodies Bag! 

We were among the first 250 Comic Con 2008 attendees to check into the registration area. Kooky 'Kook' The Pig was amazed how quickly the check in process was!  Attendees had to bring their emailed confirmation codes which were scanned into the on-site computers and a badge was printed! Above is Tina and Kooky sorting out the good stuff from the materials that are not collectible from the entry bag of goodies.  Even paper goodies get 'heavy' during the 3 hour walk through the exhibit hall at the San Diego Convention Center, so we never carry 'junk' materials with us! And we don't pick up the thousands of 'free promotional' literature all the networks and film companies for the same reason. The 'swag' has to be really good the first night for us to carry it around!!
