San Diego Comic Con Lures Comic Geeks out of Attic

The Big Time Attic gang is furiously working at preparing their gear for the San Diego Comic Con. This is the big comic convention of the year. It is huge and super fun, I wish I could go. Actually the fun part is not the Con itself, but all the dinners and drinks afterwards and just spending time in San Diego. Julie and I had a great time last year, we scouted out the best fish tacos (Esmerelda's), found groovy second-hand clothing stores, and lounged at the beach on Coronado island, reading books and drinking cocktails. We stopped in at the Con just long enough to pick out some funky t-shirts and matching underwear.

This afternoon, LA came over and we geeked out on the patio with the onions that I bought at the farmer's market this morning. I pulled out a white bean dip that was leftover from a few days ago and some of Summra's spicy cucumber dip. We probably polished off about 30 onions between the two of us. They were big bulbous green onions. YUM! I remember as a kid eating these onions fresh out of my grandma's garden dipped in vinegar. Such a treat.

After LA left, Julie, BTA, and I did some grilling and downed several bottles of wine as a send-off for the San Diego trip and to celebrate the completion of Bonesharps, Cowboys, and Thunderlizards. Was a fun and relaxing evening. They're leaving tomorrow for about six days. Honestly, I'm kinda looking forward to having the house mostly to myself.
