This is Archer Moore. Author, Song Writer, Gambler, Boozer, Driver.
Quite the diverse individual. He went to New York City in part to check
out New York's Comic Con. Here's his report in Jack's own words.
 This is Jack. He
is interpreting the photos and information from Archer Moore. He was NOT
at the con. He was instead counting floor tiles in his carpeted bathroom
this weekend. (insert floor picture)

Just into the first hour of the show and already down $140. George is
burnin' through money like it was monopoly money. And, haven't even bought
one exclusive Con item yet. All the Destro G.I.Joe exclusives from Hasbro are ALREADY
SOLD OUT!!!! What the *&$%@#!!! How can they be sold out and the show just
started???? Friday, Day 1 July 27, 2007 9:11AM

It's crowded as hell...and hell's been taking memberships for centuries.
There's lots to see and lots of people seeing it all.

Twenty minutes to stand in line for Sean Young from Blade Runner just to get
a chance for a picture. And then you had to be lucky to get in line.
George didn't want to come and I let another guy cut in with me while we were
lining up. Got a FREE lunch outta the deal. No steak dinner but hey,
every little bit helps out here at Con.

Hasbro Sucks...more!!! to get other exclusives from Hasbro, we have to
trudge all the way at one end of the hall, dig in a bacteria-infested used
pillow case to pull out a ticket to see if you have a chance for the option to
be abused further by then trekking back to the opposite end of the hall, get in
line and in the hopes of having access to the exclusive you want if you pulled
the right ticket type. This alone took over an hour. If not, you're
just a loser and wasted a shit-load of time to piss yourself off. What a
pain in the ass.
Archer got lucky.
Got to get the Star Wars exclusives. WhooHooo! crowd goes wild, finally
something's working.
He shoots, He scores!!! Don't dare touch this bag now. Its mine I tell
you, all mine. Go, go go, yea yea yea!!!
But, that doesn't mean there aren't people who are gonna try to steal. One
vendor took a novel approach and had their cute clerk provide some additional
detterance before entering the booth to shop..."NO stealing! Stealing is BAD"
sign close up:
go to Day 2,
