Geek & Sundry at Jolt ‘n Joe’s Part 1

Posted on July 26, 2013 by Paul Burrow

In San Diego this year I spent a lot of time at the Geek & Sundry offsite events at Jolt ‘n Joe’s. I have become a big admirer of Felicia Day and the things she creates so I took this rare opportunity to absorb all I could during my time in San Diego!

I took lots of photos. Here are some from the Geek & Sundry events and a little bit of Nerd HQ too. If you are planning to go to an event always plan ahead. If you have time, go there before the event to check the location in advance, so you don’t get lost and turn up late when it starts. Here is Joes before G&S arrived.

The first event was a Felicia Day meet and greet. I made sure I was early. A queue was already forming which went around the corner too.

Crowd is moving now!

I see the entrance!

Inside was a cool area with a bar, lots of comfortable seating. Items for sale and a small stage area with the coolest Geek & Sundry logo. Well done to whoever made that!

Felicia came on stage and entertained the crowd which was a great start to the event. This was followed by a signing.

Later that day Jenni Powell introduced the current vloggers who chatted and answered questions. I wanted to ask questions but my mind went blank. Sorry guys 🙂 Jenni gave me a shout-out and I waved to the crowd. Thanks Jenni, wasn’t expecting that 🙂

In the next room was a gaming area sponsored by AMD.

I played some great games. Should have turned flash off 🙂

Nice machine to play on!

I watched Rock Jocks while I was there on a different day. The film was really funny, entertaining and had a lot of bad language with Sci-Fi and a smoking Jesus alien. Some of the cast watched it with us! Felicia kicked ass! What more could you ask for? We were also treated to meet the cast and get more signed goodies!

I met the inspirational Felicia Day again, the first time was at the Starfury event in London earlier this year. It was at that event I was introduced to her work and discovered what a hard working, funny and down to earth person she is!

Don’t throw away that scifiartist.com card I gave you! lol 😀 I’ll be doing a Felica painting in some shape or form very soon so watch this space!

Earlier in the day I’d been to the Geek & Sundry panel. There was a big queue to get in and even then I missed the start and was stuck at the back, However it was a very funny panel and worth the wait!

SDCC 2012 – Part 2

I attended a quite a few talks and panels.

Jonathan Ross was involved in an interesting panel discussion about the writing process. It turned into an entertaining interview with other guests appearing in turn, followed by a Q&A session. Beards were compulsory 😀

I attended 2 panels at the Nerd HQ organised by Zachery Levi, star of Chuck.

Sadly my pictures of Lucy Liu, RZA & Dave Bautista are all blurred. After the panel they did a poster signing for the film.

Seth Green and the Robot Chicken team also did a Nerd HQ panel which I attended.

SDCC 2012 – Part 1

Posted on July 20, 2012 by Paul Burrow

SDCC 2012 was as hectic as expected. I return from San Diego motivated with new ideas. I’ll talk about those later but for now here are a few pics from San Diego Comic-Con 2012.

I accidentally hit a pigeon on the road. Sorry pigeon. A couple of years ago it was a rabbit or 2.
