Jimtopia at Comic Con...

Posted by Jimtopia Jul. 30, 2008 @ 10:50 PM EDT

EDIT (7/31/08): I got my own series page! Thanks so much Tom! ^_^

Oh man, it was a great time. First off, let me make a list of all the people I got too meet:

Tom Fulp
April Fulp
Anigen
RedMongoose
Egoraptor
Rubberninja
Rina-Chan
HansVanHarken
Funy-Mony
Kirbopher
Danomano
Super Flash Bros
Tomorrows Nobodies
Cycon
(If I'm missing anyone I'll add you later)

Okay so,

Day 1-

Day one was filled with dissapointment, and enjoyment. I spent most of the day missing out or giving up on going to certain panels; luckily today was the day that I got to meet Tom Fulp. It was awesome, and Tom is a very nice guy. April took a picture of me and my friend next to Tom (I'm on the right, and he's on the left). I ended up buying myself a NG shirt, since I've always wanted one but never felt like waiting for it to ship to me. I then spent a couple hours wandering the convention center, taking pictures of intriguing things, and figuring out my way around. I then went back to the booth to see if I could find any other Newgrounders, which, to my surprise, I saw/met Egoraptor (right) and RubberNinja (left)! We all talked for a few hours, until finally me and Junkdog decided it was time to head out.

Day 2-

Day two, the day of the fabled Castle Crashers/Newgrounds party, which was absolutely awesome! Not much point in talking about the convention today, basically I met Rina-Chan and gave Anigen some gum. Anyway, back to the party; I think most of us were under the impression that we were all heading to some random bar, so Tom led us all outside, and we walked like 5 or 6 blocks until we came to a big building. As we walked inside we were all filled with joy as we saw that this place was reserved just for Newgrounders! With free food and free drinks to boot! We spent quite awhile there, I got a good chance to talk to David (of Tomorrows Nobodies) and Cycon. They had Castle Crashers and Mario Kart Wii set up, but this turned into more of a social event, and we all just ended up chatting with our fellow NG'ers. It was great.

Day 3-

Day 3 was fairly dissapointing considering what I did the day before. I didn't get a chance to see any of the Newgrounders, I stopped by the booth a few times, but I just kept missing them, also I didn't have my camera; so there wasn't a whole lot to report on for Day 3.

Day 4-

Day 4 was quite fun, and it all started when Rina-Chan noticed me and Junkdog walking by. She offered to interview me for a Comic-Con-flash-artist-documentary-typ e-thing. I obliged, and it turned out to be more of an ordeal than I first thought it would be. I sat around with RubberNinja, Rina-Chan, Egoraptor, Anigen, and RedMongoose for awhile, until we all decided to do the interviews later, and instead went down to the exhibition hall. From there we all sort of separated, and I spent a few hours walking around with Egoraptor, RubberNinja, and Anigen. After that we all collected at the Newgrounds booth, and talked for quite some time. I noticed people starting to disperse, and so, after waiting for quite some time, I was pulled out of there by Junkdog who was quite tired from the days events and we walked back to the hostel we were staying at without getting a chance to say goodbye to anyone... if I have one regret for the entire trip, it was leaving then, because it looks like all the NG'ers headed out again afterwards, and I would have loved to have gone. So if any of you Newgrounders who I never got to say goodbye to are reading this; Goodbye! It was great meeting you all!!!

I already have my ticket for next year, and I hope to see you all again!

Jul. 31, 2008 | 8:18 PM Wurmy says:

You should really give each animation it's own icon.. giving them all the same icon makes you look lazy :/

Aug. 1, 2008 | 1:54 AM Jimtopia responds:

I WAS lazy! But yeah, I do intend to when I've got a moment.


Jul. 31, 2008 | 8:33 PM The-Super-Flash-Bros says:

You're that guy with the big j in your logo, right?

That is pretty awesome...wish I was there =(

I am only good at making short jokes so I can't say anything about your height, but congrats on the series page!

Aug. 1, 2008 | 3:10 AM Jimtopia responds:

"How's the weather up there?" is about the only 'tall joke' I can think of... Also thanks, it's nice to have a place for my cartoons to go.


Aug. 1, 2008 | 3:34 AM Shadowii2 says:

Aug. 1, 2008 | 4:07 PM Jimtopia responds:

Aug. 2, 2008 | 3:18 PM Jimtopia responds:

Aug. 5, 2008 | 5:36 AM Ghyfty says:

Lol was the "Pool's closed" thing a joke or was it just for photos?

Aug. 5, 2008 | 2:34 PM Jimtopia responds:

Both...?


Aug. 7, 2008 | 1:41 PM ShadowedHogosha says:

You are so LUCKY! Im jealous. Very very jealous. Glad you had a good time. I just gotta see when I don't work and when you are free and we will set up the brawl thing.

-ShadowedHogosha

Aug. 7, 2008 | 2:30 PM Jimtopia responds:

Yeah, we STILL haven't Brawled. We need to get on that. PM Me and we'll set up a time.


Aug. 7, 2008 | 1:45 PM ShadowedHogosha says:

Also how is the Tomorrows Nobodies crew? They seem like extremely awesome people.

Aug. 7, 2008 | 2:31 PM Jimtopia responds:

There were awesome, I only got a chance to talk to David, Chase and Eric though, so (as far as I know) they are only 3/4 awesome.


Aug. 8, 2008 | 5:06 PM Rina-chan says:

I'm glad I got to meet you! Sorry the interview didn't work out.

Aug. 9, 2008 | 11:54 AM Jimtopia responds:

Yeah I know, I wish I could have stuck around for that.
