And now for the Topless Robot party! It was cool -- by which I mean it was attended mostly by nerds, but there was functional air conditioning, which was a major improvement over last year's party. Drinks were drunk. Shirts were grabbed. And people got the fuck down.

You know you've made it when Batman comes to your party. I'd like to thank everyone who came to either event, and especially Shannon Cottrell and LA Weekly's Liz Ohanesian, who made sure the party happened and was awesome.

Is that dude dressed as Midnighter? Where's Apollo?
halfmooncrownjesus replied to ZeroBusterXX:
Note the large Batman logo on his chest, sir.

I love the shirt of the Imperial Walker skeleton. I have one too, and it never fails to catch attention. :)
chudleycannonfodder replied to EVula:
Agreed. I've got one too and it rocks! (and I owe it all to Rob for posting about it)

wait a sec... did the "topless robot party" have any, you know, topless robots?
Else, I scream "false advertising and demand a refund. Or stab someone in the eye. Too soon? Sorry.

Godmotherfucking dammit Rob, I don't know how you turned Flynn's Arcade into Flynn's Fuck Emporium but this is the mountaintop my friend. There's no going back. Taste the rainbow.

Is the woman in the picture with the Doctor cosplaying as the new companion (I don't get BBC America and want to avoid spoilers on google so I have no idea what her name is) or Felicia Day? Because if it's Felicia Day, that is quite spot on.
I also really like that Batman's batpouches are full of "Batty Crocker". I'm sorry, I'll show my way out.

Amy Pond, played by the uber-sexy actress Karen Gillan.

Asat replied to ZeroCorpse:
Oh, lookie here, another three-quarters-naked woman dressed up like a refugee from a Gor fanfic. And she actually looks more like Carrie Fisher than Jabba. Meh, my life is so full of S&M bikini chicks THAT I THINK I'LL JUST BE JADED ABOUT SEEING ANOTHER ONE.
Seriously, you're drifting into an attitude that will do you NO GOOD in the years to come.

Why does Batman have chili and Bac-Os in his utility belt?
mikhel replied to sillygolem:
Well, what would you carry in your belt if you were Batman? What this guy has in his belt makes sense, though I'd add a bottle of hotsauce.
lou-bert vs. q-bert replied to sillygolem:
Silly rabbit, because he's the Goddamn Batman!
Kaoy replied to sillygolem:
Because he's at a party. Batman always comes prepared, and its just rude to attend a party with out bringing something.

Come one people!

That's Hobo Batman! Hence the homeless accouterments.

I love that Doctor Who cosplay. Much love for posting that, Rob. Hopefully I'll be in America for the next Comic Con!

FFFFFFFFFFFFffffuuuuucccck. My friend sent my boyfriend and I picture text of herself at SDCC. Another person sent me an email because they saw Jeph Jacques and Brandon Sanderson together. I've been teased all weekend. Next year, I'm going SDCC. Souls will be sold and babies will be eaten. I'm going. Oh yes, I'm going.

Samus wins hands down!

Brings a wonderful-but-certainly-not-new meaning to 'Zero Suit'. I shall assume the tattoos have some Chozian significance and consider it cannon.
eviladam said:
No one's mentioned the tattooed Cat Woman. I'll have that, please and thanks.
DoctorSmashy said:
Are all those party beasts TR commenters? I wonder which ones..... IDENTIFY YOURSELVES! Man, it looks fun. I hope if ever I get to attend Comic Con, Rob and the TR entourage are there too.
Mount_Prion said:
I wish this'd happened in NYC.
Security Stooge replied to Mount_Prion:
Yeah, cause NYC needs to get some good parties. They're always in Nightlife Deficit Syndrome.
So I've misers SDCC 3 years running now. Would have been unthinkable in the 90's. If I manage to get it together enough to go next year, will info be available at the con? I didn't notice any on the site.
eviladam said:
I strongly considered going to a comic con in St Louis or even Nashville. But I realise it's going to pale in comparison SDCC which I really wish I could've gone to.

"What do you want for dinner, Hobo Batman?"
"Justice. With a side order of Jack" (line works best if said aloud using the Dark Knight voice)
