Overheard at San Diego 2008, part 4

No kidding, there we were...

The San Diego Comic-Con Masquerade is in full swing right now, but people are still letting their personal masks down at the most interesting times...

On the dealer's floor:
Let's face it, comics aren't for kids anymore. So get 'em out of here and let me enjoy the last ten years of the industry.

In an elevator with fourteen people at the Westin:
There are no girls in this elevator...

Over in the Webcomics section, at the Girl Genius booth:
Phil Foglio: We're giving away free sandwiches! Want one?
Me: Sure! Are you sure?
Phil: Yeah, we bought sandwiches for every booth here, but a few weren't hungry.
Me: Web cartoonists aren't going hungry? This is front page news!

In the hallways between conference rooms:
Joe Straczynski is doing the Impact books for DC? Are they sure it's not supposed to be Len Strazewski and somebody's spell-checker got confused?

On the way to the trolley in the crush of people, a man was jostled by David Gerrold, leading to a retort of, "Hey, watch it, Cusack!"

And finally, ComicMix's Editor-in-Chief Mike Gold and media mogul Michael Davis were seen lunching at the Marriott with Denys Cowan. Old home week or something more? Mike's not talking.
