Last nights dinner was great, a little quiet by LW Standards, but Great none the less.
We dined at a little place called the Bay Beach Cafe on Coronado Island.
In Attendance: Abin, Kent Shakesphere, Caliente, Outdoor Miner, Quislet Esq, L.E.G.I.O.N.John & Ravenette84, Mechana & Antiquated Computers Lad, and the Guests of Honor: Nightcrawler & Mogli.
Fireworks did go off for a few minutes in the middle of the dinner and at one point Gary mentioned Shutting Down Legion World, but other than that brief episode it was just a nice quiet dinner.
After dinner several Legionworlders decided to semi-skinny-dip in the pacific ocean but that's a tale for another day.

An officially (and for posterity, since the shoutbox falls into the abyss), it was great meeting a great (and generous) bunch of people last night! Thanks for dinner!
Hopefully, we got one or two new recruits and maybe Mogli will post more. We'll see.

well, me, Abin and Quis have left the con to get Quis to the airport. Miner is the last hold-out of the Coronado Quartet.
Abin and I (especially Abin) went back-issue wild today; my top prize was Action 267 for $18! No "yeo turds off" but a lot of last-day deals nonetheless.
And I may have recruited a new LWer (knock on wood), a indy-comic pro who's a big Grell Legion fan.

Well, the con is over for me. The next time I post, I'll be in Boston.
Goodbye San Diego!

So who was gifted with an inflatable farm animal at this con dinner? Isn't that a new Legion World tradition? Or does that only happen when Cobie attends?

I think that's a special Cobie-inspired thing. We missed him, too. *sniff, sniff*
Okay, s'more fun con tidbits now that I'm home... -- I enlisted Morrison and his wife to help me find Wacker at one point. His wife is mega-nice and they have matching accents of scariness. It was just about the cutest thing ever. -- It's wrong when a man wearing Supergirl's current costume can pull it off better than you yourself ever could. Wrong but oh-so-right. -- Paul Jenkins loves me because I read Flogging a Dead horse... and am a girl. His son is the Cutest. Kid. Ever. -- Mike Carlin should never ever say anything about Geoff Johns rubbing against me ever again ever. Geoff is married and Mike is old. >< Just no. No, no, no, no, no. Seriously, no. -- Yaks are soon to be an endagered species. -- Judd Winick proposed to Brad Meltzer {or possibly the other way around} when they first met in college. Theirs is a love that is based around She-Hulk. I really think that's all that needs to be said about that. -- Brad Meltzer's dad is the cutest thing ever. He wears baseball shirts and caps that have his son's work on them-- I want a "!pots namtaB" shirt, too!! He even signed stuff at one point-- it really was adorable.
A couple more spoilers, this time about JLA, Flash and the Suicide Squad mini: JLA: Click Here For A SpoilerThere's a decent chance, I think, that Vixen will show up as a member of the new JLA. That's the impression I got, anyway. Flash: Click Here For A SpoilerBart will be impulsive once more. He's just "dealing with some stuff" right now. {Understatement, what?} The writers love the Rogues, especially Trickster and Gorilla Grodd. Suicide Squad: Click Here For A SpoilerThe roster includes Mirror Master, Icicle, Tattoo Man {the original} and some person I'd never heard of before. And the Squad that appears at the start, in Checkmate and whatnot, will not be the one at the end... I have a sneaking suspicion about who will die but I know that Mirror Master won't.
Okay, I've rambled enough!! It was just so fun. First Con and all that jazz. Oh!! And MEL was telling the truth-- Geoff does now have competition for my love. What can I say? He didn't make any attempts to win me over when I was talking to him. Silly man. Clearly does not know what he's missing. >.> Yes.
