Recap
Eldon had the following to say about this year's
appearance at Comic-Con:
"I don't know that there's anything I can say about
Comic-Con that I haven't said before.
The place is a zoo, but always entertaining. So many people to
thank, I don't know where to begin. I should probably start with
Shawn (thanks for the hotel room!) and Kevin, for making the trek
with me; superstar author Vicki Pettersson, Angela ("Sci-Fi Chick"),
and Stacey Michaels, for an entertaining evening of dinner,
shopping, and ice cream (thanks for the photos, Stacey!); writer
Robert Napton, for dinner at Henry's Pub and an invite to some
company parties (too bad we live about 30 miles apart but have to
drive 150 to get together); Tyler Mane, for lunch at Henry's Pub and
some great stories (too bad we live only 7 miles apart...); Shaun
Farrell, for the terrific interview (look for it at "adventuresinscifipublishing.com");
fellow screenwriter Jonathan Tostado, for taking time to visit (and
for the photo with the Disney girls); Warren and the Fitzpatrick
family, for breakfast (no, not at Henry's Pub); Camille Collett and Betsy
Mitchell, for letting me loiter at the Suvudu booth; Patrick and
Maryelizabeth and everyone associated with Mysterious Galaxy
Bookstore; fellow panelists Jim Butcher, Chris Evans, Lynn Flewelling,
David Keck, and Jenna Rhodes; the Dabel
Bros—Ernst and Les (been too long since I saw y'all); Jim from
Barnes & Noble in NY (thanks for the kind words); and... well,
countless other folks I'm neglecting to mention. Also, a quick
thanks to my brother Neil and his friends Meredith and Cheryl for
Sunday dinner (yes, at Henry's Pub again), to our server, Daniele (who must have
gotten tired of seeing my face around there), and our beautiful
bartender, Lily, for her megawatt smile (shoot me a message some
time!); and last but certainly not least, my Uncle Cal and Aunt
Linda, for their gracious hospitality. All in all, this was the most
fun I've ever had at San Diego Comic-Con, which is saying quite a
bit. For once, I'm already looking forward to next year."
