Jimtopia at Comic Con...

Posted by Jimtopia - July 30th, 2008


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!

It's more awesome than you could possibly imagine.

lucky, i wanted to go to comicon this year, im trying to get the money to go next year

It's well worth it.

Meeting a newgrounder in real life IS more awesome than you could possibly imagine.

Wish I could have met you though.

Wow you're so tall....

Thank you.

Did you go by yourself?

Me and Junkdog8 went.

inturresting...

Indubidibly...

I think you might be almost 2ce my height no joke.

Really?! I'm only like 6'4" in real life, are you 3'2"?

Too expensive to travel to the US.

It's worth it if you ever get a chance to go.

Wahey! Congrats on the series page!

...I wish I had one >:(

I'm sure you will some day.

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

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

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

...oh wait. Shit.

Tom-

Lol, I remember that.

Congrats on your series page!!

Thank you.

Pool's closed.

That's right, bitch.

It would be awesome if i'd be able to go and meet all you guys one year.

Quite annoying how I live in another country.

If The RubberNinja can make it, I'm sure you can.

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!

"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.

Heh, you sure had fun there I bet.

Also gongratulations on your own collection page.

Fun is an understatement, I had a blast!

WOAH A SERIES PAGE thats cool!

Yeah! ^^

Did Krinkels really piss down the fire escape?

I have no idea, maybe you should PM him and ask him yourself.

u Have no idea of how jelous i am right now!! After reading this, im seriously considering going next year!! Belive me!! lol
btw, u might need to get a better camera :P

lol, I think the camera was alright considering it was a phone. And you should go next year. It's loads of fun.

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

Both...?
