philip k. dick head
and just like that: we are in san diego, CA at the comic con convention. we are here because several of the annimators, including greg, from 'a scanner darkly' movie production are here. they had a panel discussion that included the philip k. dick robot seen here and they showed a trailer from the movie. the movie will be released in spring 2006. they did a great job and the crowd seemed really excited by the trailer. and this is a philip k. dick crowd for sure.
the robot kinda acted up. we heard they had a hard time flying him here, as they really thought he was a bomb of some type and there were all kinds of delays. can you imagine getting onto a airplane and seeing this human looking robot sitting there. staring into space. the deal is: he is programmed to be and think just as philip k. dick did. so you can ask him questions and he will respond. well, he went off on a 15min rant on the panel and it was awesome. ha.
this is a serious people watching event. all kinds of folks are here. super nerd to super normal. many are dressed up in star wars stuff, and evil dead zombish people walking around. and lots of fetish stuff going on too. tons of japanese comics and martial art movie stuff, uh....lesse. bruce campbell from evil dead did a panel. hell. there's too much. the exhibit hall is like toyland for freaks. tons of toys, cartoons, figures, art, drawings, tshirts, comics - and more.
oh. and i'm hardly sweating here at all. in fact, had to duck into the very nice local skate shop: street machine and get a beanie. i think i could get used to this weather.
take care friends. thanks so much for your kind words about raymond. it's ok. i'm much better now - and you have helped tremendously. that day was just difficult. it makes me feel warm in my heart that he is resting in peace now and we are toasting him at every beer we have. and i have plans to toss back many more in the coming days. here's to raymond! my gentle soul old man.
