San Diego
I just noticed that Mile High Comics has a bunch of pictures from San Diego up on their web site, including a nice picture of the mile-long line to get in on Saturday. (Always buy advance tickets, unless you like waiting in line for many hours!) I’ve been looking around for a reliable total attendance figure for Comic-Con this year, but I haven’t found one. I heard 65,000 from one guy, but that was probably just a guess. CBR says maybe 70 to 80,000. (More here.)
For comparison, SIGGRAPH 2003, also in San Diego, had about 27,000, according to SignOnSanDiego. And the big Phish shindig in Maine last week, at Loring Air Force Base, hit around 60,000, according to the NY Times.
Oh, and hey, you wanna buy about 10 hours of Phish for $30? Click here. Downloading it all would be a hassle, of course.

Man, it’s getting really hard to take California seriously. Not that it was ever easy, mind you.

I just finished reading this page. It took me about two hours. It’s very funny, but don’t start reading it, unless you’ve got an hour or two to kill.

One week until ComicCon!
I’ve just been looking at the programming schedule. Lots of goodness. One downer: the Fururama panel overlaps the Kevin Smith talk, so I guess I’m going to have to choose one over the other.
