i return from the Comic-con utterly defeated, for i had set one goal for myself: to get a picture of Kevin Smith. My Saturday afternoon started off great, for i had an accidental spotting of Mr. Smith when he ended up standing right in front of my table in the food court. i'm pretty sure he was filming a segment for the Tonight Show, and he was talking to a guy dressed as Lando Calrissian and another guy. This would have been the perfect opportunity to achieve my objective if it weren't for that woman chasing after Kevin, holding a paper saying "no flash" and generally impeding a clear photo shot of Kevin. But i took it as a good sign, and resolved to catch him at some point since he was going to have a panel and a signing. But the fates were cruel, for not only did i not get into Ballroom 20 to see Kevin's panel, but while waiting in line for autographs, the line got cut off and of course i was in the part that got cut off. Oh how i wept bitterly. One amusing thing did happen to me though- i bought my Clerks inaction figures from Walt Flannagan.
