Nico, now just who do you have in mind that would be having a problem with Ray Bradbury? I can't imagine such a thing!

And afterwards they will be signing in booth AA2, but that may change to AA1 for convenience sake.

I was there in the second row and loved their appearance! Ray B was animated, energetic, and enthusiastic. It was a pleasure to see.

The entire panel was really good, though I thought it too short. Sam Weller and Ray Harryhausen's assistant (Great guy who's name I can't remember. I've seen him many times.) kept the flow going nicely.

Though I've seen these two multiple times (I live in San Diego) this was most definitely a highlight of the Con for me.

Ray H's aid is Arnold Kunert.

WHAT!!?

Sam Weller was at the COMIC CON?

I was in the San Diego area most of the day. If I had known Sam was REALLY going to be there, I'd have figured-out my way in.

Yes, Nard. Sam made it in just for ComicCon.

You're welcome patrask. He did seem really on top of his game and had some really interesting things to say. I loved when he said that his characters were himself. I always kind of thought that about authors. I know that they do get inspiration from people around them, but it always seems like it's different aspects of themselves personified, as well.

It was a great panel. As usual Comic Con counter-programmed everything, so when you attend one panel, you're missing two more that you wanted to see.

I'm so glad I chose the two Rays. They were even better than being up realy close while the new Supergirl was being introduced. (What a hottie!)

:-) Haha. No contest really.

Sam and Arnold were both great and it's plain to see they both really love the two giants.

(Is there a way to save the youtube videos to my hard drive?)

Cheers,

Bill
