Yabs Breakfast!

[Gail Simone]

Was big fun!

Thanks to Mac, Trench, jess, Merlin, Blue Duck, Alex and Kris Gen (and my husband and son!) for coming and making fun of Denny's!

It was GREAT to meet you all!

Gail

[Kyuubi]

Thank you Gail.



Between the breakfast, the warner Brothers panel, the Wildstorm panel, and Clerks II, this was the perfect day.

[Sokkratez]

Wish I could have been there. Missed CC again this year - car exploded (figuratively speaking).

[Gail Simone]

In real life, Blue Duck is REALLY QUIET!

I had such a good time. I hope we can do this every convention!

Gail

[Weetomuncher]

Guess what?

I'm going to San Diego - next year!

I'm making up my plan for going to next year's con as I type, so here's hoping things work out.

[stealthwise]

No pictures yet?

Sounds like fun. I'd have been there but... well, waiting for baby (still), renovating the house and moving took up a ton of time.

Hope to make it next year!

[MacQuarrie]

It was wicked good fun! Gail was charming as ever, her husband is on the short list of nicest people on the edge of comics (I put him on the same level with the wonderful Judith Shaw), her son is quiet but obviously cool, and everybody was great.

It was a great breakfast, and we have to do it again. Maybe next time, Gail will let somebody else grab the check...

[OzBat!]

grab the cheque.... and FLEE! HEAD FOR THE HILLS! RUN LIKE THE WIND! MWUHHH-HAHAHAHAAAHAAAHAAA!!

*cough*

sorry. must be something in the water...

Ain't happenin'.

[Kevinroc]

I'm just sorry I missed it. :(

[Larry Dixon]

Photoshop me into the picture!

[Cam63]

Photoshop ? What's wrong with a felt tip pen ?

Lotsa feathers and an evil lookin' goatee should do it.

...Oh and bird mess on the other peoples' shoulders in the photo.

[Weetomuncher]

If I was Photoshopped in to the picture, you'd probably have to take three people out. :o

I can't wait to meet some of the YABS guys next year, if I can make it over to San Diego for next year's con.

[Cei-U!]

Apologies for not making it to the YABS breakfast. fly and I learned the hard way that we had to get to the convention center mega-early if we wanted parking. Our CBR social lives suffered for this inconvenient truth.

Cei-U!
I summon the regrets!

[Red Jack]

Missed it all. Missed the breakfast. Missed almost all of Gail's panels. had leave in the middle of the Brave New World panel.

Missed missed missed.

But I had a good excuse.

Next year in San Diego.

[WhiteRose]

Next year for me. The airplane ticket's almost a go and the money's being saved, but the accomodation is in the lacking department at the moment. Disgustingly cheap hostels or something for me!

Awww, sounds like everyone had a great time though.Yay! You lucky bastards. PHOTOS!

[MacQuarrie]

I saw this guy walking through the lobby...

Somehow resisted the urge to tell him his bow is strung backwards.

The sad thing is: that's the first thing I noticed about that picture too.

[Cam63]

I have to say I can't see myself forking out that much money to attend a comic convention, even though I'd love to meet some of you buggers in person. :)

[muimi]

Sounds like it was fun for all of you! :D I hope I can make it next year. (Ugh, maybe I should reserve a hotel room now?)

[Lubichev]

So if Cupid is shooting an arrow from a backward strung bow, does that mean that the arrow causes people to fall into hate instead of fall into love?

[Super Sonic]

So if Cupid is shooting an arrow from a backward strung bow, does that mean that the arrow causes people to fall into hate instead of fall into love?

No, it makes them gay.

[Larry Dixon]

It makes them afraid. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's fear.

[MacQuarrie]

If he tried to shoot that bow, the string would come off the ends of the bow and he'd probably hurt himself.

[MacQuarrie]

It makes them afraid. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's fear.
Right you are. I've explained that to a few people myself. It's even in the Bible.

[Azrael52]

I thought the opposite of love was liquerish.....:confused:

[PatrickG]

I thought the opposite of love was liquerish.....:confused:

But liquerish is derived from liqeur, right?

And everyone knows that there is a positive corrolation between alcohol and birthrate.

So liquerish makes people fall in like at least.

[Azrael52]

Patty, my boy, I think that you've had a little too much of Gail's cough medicine.

[Super Sonic]

Right you are. I've explained that to a few people myself. It's even in the Bible.

You'd swear that meant something. =P

Sorry it took so long to get the pic up.

From left to right, back to front:

Kyuubi, Kris (sorry I'm covering up part of your face), Trench, Jess, Gail (who's so cool she can wear sunglasses indoors), Mac, and Merlin.

Me, Gail's son (whose name escapes me at the moment) and Mr. Gail.

That's Ky? Are you sure?


Wait, hang on...


http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i194/sk716/ky.png

Oh, yeah, that's him alright.

[Lester C.]

Kyuubi looks nothing like I thought he would. How can someone so damn funny look so intimidating?

[WhiteRose]

Kyuubi looks nothing like I thought he would. How can someone so damn funny look so intimidating?

Indeed, and with such a cutesie screename?

Meanwhile, Kris looks disturbingly like my assistant manager from my last job...

[sk716]

Looks like a Russian Mobster doesn't he?

[ElvisGuy]

Damn..dont mess with the Blue Duck !! Gail's son looks like a perfect combination of her and her husband.. the apple didnt fall far from the tree ! Great pic !! Im so sad I wasn't there.

[Lester C.]

What scary is that Kyuubi looks a LOT like me when my skin color is at its darkest during the summer months. I seriously though that photo was me when I first saw it, and I'm not kidding. I wish I had a scanner so I could show you guys just how closely we resemble each other.:eek:

[Kyuubi]

yikes...


Also, aren't you supposed to be on strike?

[Lester C.]

yikes...

I was on strike, and was here everyday of the five days I didn't post. I really tried to get into the whole lurking scene, but alas I have a big mouth and MUST contribute. As for us looking alike, you just wait until I get my hands on a scanner as we really do resemble each other.

Coming up on The YABS True Hollywood Story:
Lester and Kyuubi : Separated at Birth

Buy a digital camera. You can get a fairly decent one for around $50.00. You can get a piece of junk for $15.00.

[Kris Gen]

Meanwhile, Kris looks disturbingly like my assistant manager from my last job...

Um . . . sorry? :)

Anyway, I just got back from the con this evening (we drove). Thanks again to Gail and Scott for breakfast! And thanks to Alex for posting the picture (and no worries about partially obscuring me - I promise I won't take it personally ;) ). It was much fun, and I'm glad I got to meet all of you!

[Drumore]

Sorry I couldn't make it to breakfast. I had meetings of my own, and spending time with friends from NYC and elsewhere I only see once a year. (Plus lack of sleep, exhaustion, and my hotel didn't have air conditioning!!!) UGH!

But glad I got a chance to chat with Gail a bit at the DC booth and the Gays in Comics panel.

[Cam63]

It makes them afraid. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's fear.

Is that why some snotty movie critics look like the cameraman's got a bomb strapped to him ?

That's anudda nice photo.

One can feel tha lurve.

[Meta 05]

Sadly that copnvention was to far away.I went to my first convention this year "PHILLY' in june.It wasn't that odd an exsprience the gay boy that I am loved the fact that lunch brake I got to hang out an play in the GAYBORHOOD.I don't know if I will make it a regular yearly thing thou,it took alot out of me ,I have a sever problem with crowded places an people an to much noise, don't think conventions were really ment for me.

[Cam63]

That's Ky? Are you sure?


Wait, hang on...


http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i194/sk716/ky.png

Oh, yeah, that's him alright.

That's very funny, btw. :)

[Cam63]

Oh and small feet there, too.

You know what they say !

[Larry Dixon]

And Scott's name is SCOTT MEGASTUD FUNKY FRESH LOVEMASTER, Not Mr. Gail!!!

[Cam63]

Try fitting that on a card.

[Larry Dixon]

Scott has it tattooed lengthwise in 36-point text on his... manhood.

[Crowley]

man... the Simone's are a good looking family. Your Husband does kinda resemble Catman and your boy rocking the red dreads is pretty awesome.

it's funny... none of you look how I imagined.

[Cam63]

Geez, most normal people would require a general anaesthetic for that !

[Cam63]

Well, they're human....

That's close enough.

[Larry Dixon]

Geez, most normal people would require a general anaesthetic for that !

Scott is just THAT hardcore.

He's a Man with a Kickstand.

He's the Conqueror of Wild Lebians.

He's Conan with a Minivan.

[hellokittykat]

Mr. Gail[/B].

I'll bet Scott loves being called that;)

Thanks for posting a picture! Glad you all had a good time! :)

I can't believe how much Master Simone looks like his parents-lucky guy!

[Alex L]

Mr. Gail

Did it really take people a couple of days to pick up on that? :p

(Apologies to the Simone family for forgetting their names, even after they took the time to remember mine. :()

[Cam63]

Prince Phillip is sometimes referred to as Mr. Queen.

I wonder if he screwed around on Dinah...

[OzBat!]

That's anudda nice photo.

One can feel tha lurve.The serious faces in the front row imply you're about to feel the camera inserted somewhere!

Either that or it's the rock star disdain for groupies. I know I would be, faced with that lot! You're all very, very scary people!

One day, I hope to be in a scary groupie photo of my own. *sniff*! Do we have enough people who could make Supernova Sydney?

[stealthwise]

Mr. Gail has purty hair.
