San Diego Comic-Con

The San Diego Comic-Con is one of my dream events to attend! A 4-day event where all comics, toys, movie, anime and other related genre geeks and nerds converge to basically “geek out”. From selling and buying memorabilia and books to meeting creators, and for companies to launch their products to it’s hardcore fans.

Ever since the comic book movie genre and anime boomed in America, there have been more and more people who are attending this event. In fact, there were so many people the past 2 years that many people have complained about the overcrowding and this year is the first time that they did not do any on-site ticket selling. And guess what? The pre-selling tickets that was done online sold out fast!

I think I want to attend this before I reach the age of 30, I am thinking of going maybe next year or the year after next the latest. I really have to work hard and try to save up as much as I can. I was also planning some backpacking trips around the Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia area as well as a trip up to Tibet, I guess one of those I have to scrap for the meantime. Let’s go SDCC!

BBC: Journey To The East Animation

Produced by Gorillaz’s Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett for BBC in celebration of the upcoming Beijing Olympics. This is their take on the Chinese folk tale, Journey of the West, which was recently notably referenced in that god-awful movie, The Forbidden Kingdom with Jacky Chan and Jet Li.

Enjoy! August 08, 2008 is coming!
