Word. I've got sleeping bags in my trunk at all times.

dave, no, i've been to hotel rooms with futons. it was the delta hotel. my brother and cousins stayed in it for my grad. so you never know, this might be the same kinda deal.

Monk · **Posted:** Thu Jun 21, 2007 11:26 am

I've been in tons of hotels with couches / futons / whatever. Especially in the states, it really ain't that uncommon. Hell, I was in one just last week, Holiday Inn Express I believe.

QUESTION! how long is everyone going to be there for? i dont think 4 days is really worth staying for. so i was wondering.

Foster · **Posted:** Thu Jun 21, 2007 7:02 pm

I was going for 4 days. I could probably be convinced to stay longer. My birthday is July 31st.

well anyone who has been to sdcc before, how many days is it worth? cause i have a coastal road trip im taking back home, and that might take a bit.

Igo · **Posted:** Sat Jun 23, 2007 5:51 pm

The first time I went (actually both times) I was there every freaking day, all day.

Being there as a walker (the first time and total newb to the experience) I only felt Sunday dragging, and that's just ebcause everything's coming to an end and all the pros and sellers are aching to get home to go to work the next day.

Every day there totally changes, from panels, to who's signing where, to who you meet and wanna hang out. Every night theres a different thing going on from parties to drawing jams to random drunkard nights on the street.

If it's your first time, try to take advantage of the whole time, but it's safe to plan for a ride back mid-day Sunday. You can leave your chek out shit at the motel in a locker, and bail the CC early and hit the road. Wednesday night is preview night and totally the best time to take advantage of either:
A) getting exclusive crap or
B) meeting artists because everyone's busy buying exclusive crap

Also, Jonah, you should be handing out portfolios and resumes, if you're done/near done with school. So that's just another thing to tack onto the list of "Shit to do."

First year I was just walking and handing out portfolios and filled up every day waking hour of every day. Second time was even more fucking nuts because we had the table, I walked around, and handed out portfolios.

The place is fucking huge, tons of crap to do, I never get bored, but Shane did way faster and easier but that's because he's a picky-ass bastard.

Faz · **Posted:** Sun Jun 24, 2007 2:14 am

hey that's what i'm gonna be doing. how many portfolios whould i bring? like 50?

red monkey · **Posted:** Sun Jun 24, 2007 3:02 am

I think Im gonna unplug my internet cable when you guys hit SDCC, or I'll prolly cry of jealousy... living in stupid Holland... >.<

Igo · **Posted:** Sun Jun 24, 2007 12:36 pm

Faz, depending on who you're aiming at giving them out to. It's always cool if you run into a pro artist, ask em to take a peek, and if they act like they really like it you can offer them to keep it. I did that a few times, and Ive met a few of them years later and they actually remembered me before I even introduced myself. Just a good way to network and get your name out there.

So yah, if you can afford it, the more the better and the left overs can be sent out through mail to other companies. I even ended up giving out more than one to the same company because a different person would want one.

I only needed 30 and still had left overs, but it depends on how much of a whore you wanna be. 50 would be great if you can afford it, but I really doubt you'd need that many. But like with alcohol it's better to have left overs than not enough.

Yeah...It was fun i guess, but because I wasn't really there to try and get a job, and the crowd wasnt really into the stuff I was selling, and there were only a few artists I wanted to meet, it was kind of boring. But, you know it was still fun, and the cool people I did meet were totally worth getting through the boring-ness, and getting to hang out with nick and ken and the rest of the SS guys was soooo rad.

The nights were alot of fun, I wish we had done more bar hopping, and I wish we had stayed away from that lame ass hotel drawing jam. DO NOT GO TO DRAWING JAMS, they are stupid boring wastes of time and you could be out socializing and meeting cool people instead.

thats how i feel, unless its people you see everyday almost then i dont like ot draw when i kick it, i kick it!. im there for 99% fun, i don't take art that seriously:[

benthic · **Posted:** Wed Jun 27, 2007 12:47 am

But drawing jams ARE socializing and networking with cool people!

Foster · **Posted:** Wed Jun 27, 2007 12:48 am

If you draw well socially.

No theyre not, theyre a bunch of people who dont know how to socialize unless they are in front of a keyboard sitting ina circle doodling.

Monk · **Posted:** Wed Jun 27, 2007 1:59 pm

Yeah I SERIOUSLY doubt I will be doing much drawing at SDCC, personally.

show me someone who can draw and talk and get a decent drawing out, if they can then they have never kicked it a day in their life. put the pencil down and have fun, you can draw any day of the week, but its rare to have a reunion of the most fucked up human beings ever, i think we lost igo to the minds of IBM though. you sellout bitch your going to have fun and love it.

Boo. I like drawing jams. Then again, it's been ages since I went to or hosted one. Oh well.

Monk · **Posted:** Wed Jun 27, 2007 7:03 pm

I'm sure drawing jams are awesome, if you know the people involved. But if I'm going to meet most of them for the first time in my life then I would much rather spend some time getting acquainted to them by talking about as much randomly stupid shit as possible.

four eyes · **Posted:** Wed Jun 27, 2007 11:27 pm

and plus monk has to hold my hair as i puke. oh wait i dont puke. nevaaa! knowing limits is awesome, but id love to drink against germans, already did it against 2 Bolgarian girls and lost. they can drink like no other.

benthic · **Posted:** Thu Jun 28, 2007 12:21 am

At least I don't run the risk of vomiting in a street corner trashcan while having simulated sodomy performed on me... AGAIN. Enjoy the drinkahol, folks. I'll enjoy my summer honey ale up on the rooftop in solitude and join you in spirit.

Igo · **Posted:** Thu Jun 28, 2007 3:59 am

I got decently pissed drunk at that one drawing jam, and from there commenced to roaming the streets totally drunk with two friends of mine whilst stumbling into a Halo Rave Party... WOW!

Drawing jams are cool though, but that last one we went to was pretty fucking lame. I just gota show up with more alcohol in my system and make more of a notable scene is all.

four eyes · **Posted:** Sat Jun 30, 2007 4:06 pm

halo rave party? wtf?

Igo · **Posted:** Sun Jul 01, 2007 11:52 am

Halo, Rave, PARTY. Nuf said.

four eyes · **Posted:** Sun Jul 01, 2007 2:34 pm

they still have raves?

losers, nuff said.

Igo · **Posted:** Sun Jul 01, 2007 5:52 pm

Twas the best most random walking-in-to since I can remember. Hopefully have another random walk-in this year.

Monk · **Posted:** Sun Jul 01, 2007 6:18 pm

I thought it stopped the second you entered the room.

Igo · **Posted:** Sun Jul 01, 2007 11:17 pm

It ended like a few minutes afterwards... basically after the whole first initial "WTF!?!" moment, even though it lasted the whole night...

Foster · **Posted:** Sun Jul 01, 2007 11:54 pm

I've now burnt a halo rave soundtrack and you guys can expect it in our hotel room.

Faz · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2007 9:53 pm

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who's all goin? rob (iza) just told me that he can't make it, so we need two people to stay with us. jonah? dave? who else is going?

Foster · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2007 10:37 pm

Jonah is staying with us..

Dave get in on this!

Igo · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2007 10:55 pm

I will, even though Im still begging to stay at GG's... which is one block away, but count me in regardless and I'll pitch in even fi I dont pass out there every night, which I probably will... WHAT ARE WE GONNNA DO!?!

How much is the total and what's the split/how much will I needs ta pay?

Foster · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2007 11:20 pm

Before tax, its going to be $600 total. You could chip in $150 or buy all of my alcohol. I'm 5'8" and weigh around 140lbs. We'll be there for like 4 days. Roll the dice, Dave. Which is going to cost more. :D

Igo · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2007 11:26 pm

Ive rolled up my own damn tab for more than $100 at one place because the prices are ridiculous, but then again you are a complete fucking pussy.... hrm...

So thats $150 for all 4 days for each of us? If it's just $150 Im sticking to that because even a 7 year old girl can drink more than $38 a night worth of alcohol, and I dont even know if you're a day drunk.

Foster · **Posted:** Sat Jul 07, 2007 12:22 am

I assure you I am.
