Ok bitches, you are going to be in my town now! Who is coming? WWC was awesome and for some weird ass reason I have the desire to give a better whack at meeting those I didn't in Chicago!

Thud and I want to show you Texas haters how it really is!

Yea, it kind of sucked a few years ago but last year was alot better. If you do make it down this time I think things will go alot better now, people know each other now and it'll be fun.

don't get me wrong I enjoyed talking to you, Arthur, JP and the Beraneks. But closing us out of the bar was bullshit, and then the fact that the hotel was not in walking distance to anything really sucked. On top of all that you add the usual Wizard comic-con nazis and it made for a bad experience.

It was that con experience that convinced me to drop all wizard products.

If anyone needs some advice on where to stay and eat, you can ask me. I lived 10 mins away from there until a few years ago. If you have a rental car, I can tell you some "nice" places to eat. And by nice, I mean damn tasty, not expensive!

I was looking forward to going to WWTX before...as I've already requested vacation time to go...but now after WWChi...I'm REALLY excited about going.

ClintP

08-07-2006, 06:13 PM

For all of you cheap skates who want to save money, do not stay in any motels(I say motels since there aren't any hotels) in Oak Cliff. If you value your life, you will follow that sound advice.

Don't worry, that is far far away from where the convention is.:scared: :scared: :scared:

ClintP

08-07-2006, 07:19 PM

I have been trying to figure out how to get people to some great food, but the issue of transportation is a doosy. I am assuming all of the out of towners will be at the hotels right there by arlington convention center and will not have rides. There really is not anything that is great to eat that is accessable by foot. Any ideas? I can come up with great hole in the wall places that are close, but close in Texas measurements is not close by other standards. I really want to help share the greatness of the local food with everyone somehow.....

We'll have a big fan I think, but as far as I can tell, it's gonna be packed with about 6 or 7 of us coming in from Lafayette. But there are a million Taxi's in Arlington. Shouldn't be more than a few bucks to get anywhere in town.

we will have the trailblazer I think. It fits 8 of us. there will be 5 of us so will can easily fit 3 more, but we can squish in and bring others.

Hmm, if that is a big hit, I might trade BBQ for sketches! I am a BBQ loving fool. Actually, I love all food, but my favorites are Mexican and BBQ. THAT is why I live in Texas and can never leave it.

Anyways, if WWT will let me bring it in, I wouldn't mind bringing the best damn BBQ I know of. Sounds like I might be on to something!
you should be fine bringing in outside food.

I went out with some wizard staff out for BBQ couple of years ago, I dunno what it was called, but I was in heaven.

no we went out to eat, not deliver to the con...

anyway, I've had many people bring me outside food at all sorts of cons, Wizard included and nothing ever happens. A friend had a pizza delivery guy even come in (without a badge, even) to the con floor in Chicago.

Hmm.... Interesting.... THE best BBQ in DFW is at a place called Baby Back Shak. A co-worker is friends with the owner and brought some for the folks up here on day. BEST BBQ EVER! They are in downtown Dallas and used to cater the Mavericks before they moved to American Airlines Center.

There is also a GREAT burger place in Arlington about 2 miles from the convention center by UTA called Jim's Burgers. Talk about awesome. It is open on Sat, but only till like 2 or 3. I could maybe do a burger run for interested creators who will be depending on crappy convention food.

This is how we are in the big TX. Loven the FOOD!

Brubaker is going to be there? If so, I guess I will have to wait in a long ass line. I refuse to wait in lines for anything these days, but I will for Brubaker and Bendis(if Bendis gets anywhere near my neck of the woods that is.)

Shit, if you get bru at your store Jeffery, I will drive my happy ass there for that. How far is the store from DFW?

http://www.lonestarspirits.org/photos.html The photo on the person on the horse in the middle is cool. I have a photo like that taken in New Olreans. And I can't truly say that it's midst, dew, or dust because there are several photos taken back to back and that one picture is the only one that came out like that. spooky!
Yeah, what's up with this? Taki told me about it a couple of days ago. Do you want me to check out anything since I am local?

Last year Peter David was in artist alley in a corner pocket table. Even though I was not impressed with The Other, I felt bad seeing him there with only a trickle of fans. Though, I would rather vulture around that then wait in a long ass line to see someone. Got to love the catch 22 huh?

What was sayamama's place? I can look into it more. Also, those two aren't really hollywood replica's, well maybe the munster house, but you can'tgo in it anyways. The catfish place is supposed to be haunted, but I have never felt the need to call the ghostbusters or anything. Though they don't come off forced and trying to be a "haunted" restraunt. It is more or less in the name.

Steer me in the right direction to look and I will see what I can come up with. Though, real haunted houses are going to be imagined anyways.

I can deal with Hispanics and Black folks all day long. I went to school in the ghetto part of Grand Prairie until I was in high school. It is the white folk I am most scared of. I have never had a black or brown person slash my tires, only white ones.... I also get a lot of fresh imigrants speaking spanish to me on a frequent basis. I went to taco beuno just 2 weeks ago and a woman who worked there kept trying to get my attention in spanish. I always joke around that I am half hispanic.

Not sure I get that line. Was that the Holiday Inn off of 360 with the Wendy's inside it? I think that is right.

sorry, we were bumped and moved over to another hotel because the sprinklers for the fire alarm were not working so they couldnt allow anyone to stay on that floor. it was the one right across from the Trail Dust. We literally slept, woke up and then went back . i don't recall a wendy's. it was a fairly nice hotel.

Ah, Traildust is off of I-30 and right across the freeway from the convention center. The other one was a little bit further away. I used to live right over there and that was the first one that came to my mind.

Where about in LA do you guys live?

Ah. I have been there for my last job when I trained Cingular reps on this system. I flew to Baton Rouge at night and drove to Hammond for the next day. Then after that store closed, I drove back to Lafayette and worked a Cingular store there for a day, and then drove to New Orleans after that store closed. Nice people in those parts for the most part. The accents in Lafayette got me to chuckle a couple times. For some reason, some people there have stronger ones than they did around the other cities. Oh well.

I saw on dirty jobs about something called Craklin. Like a bacon/pork rhind mix. Ever had any of that? It looked yummy on DJ.

Its deep fried pig fat. Every once and a while you'll get a little piece of pork on it, but for the most part, it's straight up fried fat.

I challenge anyone to not be scared there while on foot.... My office mate here at work is black and he has some stories to tell about Fair Park area. He was leaving a football game and while there was bumper to bumper traffic waiting to leave and get on the freeway, he saw a gas station being robbed in broad daylight. He said the robber were on foot and had guns. They were firing them at the store as they fled and carjacked someone right near their jeep. He said he jumped out of the back of the jeep and ran on foot to try to get away. Other people on foot around there tried to "get in" that jeep to get away from the danger....

I laugh thinking about it. He told his buddy to pick him up at the freeway, because he didn't want to get shot by the robbers or the store owner who fired back....

don't get me wrong I enjoyed talking to you, Arthur, JP and the Beraneks. But closing us out of the bar was bullshit, and then the fact that the hotel was not in walking distance to anything really sucked. On top of all that you add the usual Wizard comic-con nazis and it made for a bad experience.

It was that con experience that convinced me to drop all wizard products.

Dont let him put you off... Dallas is our favorite con. It's Wizard, so they get some names in there but it's not huge, so the lines and stuff arent that bad...

I may be biased because the Wizard folks always treat us like gold... where as some folks got locked out of the bar on Saturday, we were invited in...

Really, its a fun con... if you're thinking of going, come on and check it out for yourself... it should be fun!

Wizard has a private party for all of their guests... they usually have it in the bar at the Wyndham... they shut the entire place down and everyone has a good time without having to worry about fans and stuff... kinda a chance to let their hair down and relax for a few hours.

Oh well. I am just a fan and I enjoy the show. I don't care about Wizard's politics. I just want to find some deals, meet some buddies from the board, and chat with a creator or two. WWT accomplishes all 3 things, as do smaller cons in the area.

Hmm. You may just have to come back up here for the one in Plano. It is a fairly decent convention. I may have different expectations for going to cons though. I go to look for deals, and at the bigger ones, look for fellow bendis board people. I don't get too many smaller press comics unless they are either created by someone on this board or really really hyped up. so far, none have fell into the latter category.

If you decide to come, you can stop by my place in Waxahachie and I can drive the rest of the way. You would have to pass by my town anyways.

That would be great, I'll take you up on that! I won't know until the 16th if I can go or not, going to keep my fingers crossed.

HA! I just thought of a funny idea for one. Have our guy from Sidekick shoving Robin down so he could be Batman's sidekick. Maybe like having him elbow his way in between them. Now that would be damn funny!:lol:
