Greetings, all! Broadcasting from the La Salsa Casita Condo in sunny downtown San Diego, I, Diinzumo and Allison the Deranged have an early San Diego Comic Con report. Item number one: fans have been lining up at the convention center since yesterday around 6:00 PM Pacific Time...not to purchase next year's tickets in advance (although it would surprise me not at all if some were trying) but to be the first in line for a Twilight panel. One of the 20-story hotels near the center (the Omni, I think) has a full wrap graphic of the upcoming Cowboys and Aliens movie. That's approximately one acre of movie poster plastered all over a skyscraper. You can see this thing from Coronado Island. Item two: we've discovered that the Trader Joe's "Dark Chocolate Lovers" chocolate bar, which is 85% cacao imported from Columbia, pairs excellently with Polka Dot 2009 Pfalz Germany Riesling. This is HIGHLY recommended for those of you within a twenty mile radius of a TJ's grocery store. I'm told that this chocolate is also good with old vine Zinfandel or Italian Ripasso. Will experiment with this tomorrow. Item three: we're now watching Gatchaman episode 78: "Danger at 10,000 Meters" (I think I got the title right, the Riesling is working), with a DVD without a remote, so we are stuck listening to the English dub. We need more wine. That's all for now, more tomorrow when the whole shindig starts!
