Chicago Comicon
Just got back. I've got to take a monster shit that's been a week in the making, but first, I have to relay the funniest thing that happened during the festivities:

Saturday night rolls around and I'm drinking beer and watchine Slumber Party Massacre 2 (I think that's what it was called) with Penciljack.com boardmates MC Fumunda, Paulfresh, DJ Kenobi, Jacob Phatty and a bunch of their friends. All cool people, but Fumunda (henceforth to be known as Matty) is pretty spastically outgoing. He'll do just about anything.

So the movie had just finished and we were watching previews for some series of movies that had "the driller killer" in them when Matty's phone rings. On the other line was a friend of his who was down in the lobby of the hotel saying "[URL=http://www.davidmack.net/]David Mack[/URL] is breakdancing down here and he's looking for challengers". Now, David Mack is kind of a big name these days. He was doing a series at Image, then he moved onto Daredevil and moved his own series to Marvel.

Matty kind of gave a "meh" because he was tired and because he'd "served" all comers the previous night in a lobby dance-off after they all watched "You Got Served", but he gave in to peer pressure. When he got out to the railing overlooking the lobby (2-4 floors up), he yelled out "HEY DAVID MACK, ARE YOU READY TO GET SERRRVED?!"

When everyone got down there, a circle quickly formed about 10 seconds of claps improvised a beat for them to dance to. David Mack was unusually limber and was doing some Fonzie Kossack dancing while Matty was just kind of freaking David Mack. At one point, Mack started doing the Matrix "bullet time dodge" move while Matty was popping off shots with his fingers.

3 rounds in and Matty got served. David Mack pulled out some crazy shit where he was jumping on top of everything and kicking the cieling and stuff. After everything was over, Matty picked up David Mack and kind of showed him around to the audience.. then delivered a mock "Mack-breaker" to Mack's spine.

It were awesome. There might already be some pictures online [URL=http://www.comicon.com/cgi-bin/pulse.cgi?http%3A//www.comicon.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi%3Fubb%3Dget_topic%26f%3D36%26t%3D001240]here[/URL] within the next few days. Hopefully, some of the PJ members and their friends who had camcorders will post stuff up.
