Anybody else going to be there tomorrow (Sunday 27)?  I do know if everyone else was flying home instead.


I spent 2 hours tonight doing the ghost tour in the gaslight district.  It was enough to turn me into a believer.

I went to one of those in Charleston and one in Savannah...Savannah was nice cause they allow 12oz beverages carried openly, and the tour passed several bars.  Duck in for a freshie, rejoin tour.  ;)

Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.

All the comic con visitors were running around the gaslight district as we did our tour.  But they looked at the guide like she was the most bizaree thing they saw all day.  Our guide was dressed in 1880s garb.  Compared to alot of the comic con garb she looked normal.

I felt like telling them that she was dress as a character from From Hell.

We went into the oldest house in gaslamp tonight.  It is a museum.  Until tonight I had always kept an open mind about ghosts, neither believing or disbelieving.  One member of our party took a photo of a painting.  I looked at her digital camera when she did and we both saw the face of a man that was not in the room with us in the photo next to her.

I did a ghost tour of Colonial Williamsburg.  But that was just walking around with a guy carrying a lantern.  He shared a lot of history and stories about ghosts.  Tonight was different though.

Now I just need to find a ghost tour of the Graceland cemetery in Chicago.

Haha, that would be cool.

I enjoy the ghost tours just for the history, the tour part and the walking.  They are good like that.  I try to do them anywhere I go that offers them now, whether there be ghost or not, still fun.  :)

Savannah also won cause it is cooler than Charleston.  ;)

Adam :)  I didn't get to meet him, but he was only about 20 feet away ;)

I'm not sure which one I'd like to meet more. I'd take any of them, I think.

Ever notice that the girl looks an awful lot like Priscellie?

I'd like to meet the guy with the huge mustache. Sorry, I don't know names anymore. Been too long since I had cable.

I missed the MB crew by a few days when I went to the lab in Bimini.  Made me moderately sad.  :(

How cool!  I saw the Mythbusters guys from a long distance--they were signing at the same time as Jim on Saturday, and when they arrived, the crowd went INSANE.  It was like Beatlemania!  I was chatting with this dude



when the screaming started, and we both got up on chairs to try to see what all the screaming was about.  We were entertained :D

*tilts head*  Maybe a little.  Not remarkably so.


So who else was at Comic Con?  Who/what did people see?  Spill!

I didn't see that Harry!  He's a good one!

I've got lots of pictures.  I have to process them tonight.

I REALLY hope you got your Maeve or Molly costume and got someone to take a pic of you and the Harrytator. Send that sucker to me if so.
