Boy was I dreading this one. Not the trip to San Diego, although this summer has been quite strange for the usually roasting Southern California coastal city, but the convention itself.   Heard way too many horror stories from various podcasters, bloggers and forum posts about how chaotic the scene was, the bad smells, crowds, and just about how this was the Super Bowl of geekdom.

Last Wednesday we held the first ever Bat-Meet in San Diego. It was an opportunity for fans of not only the podcast and website, but also Batman to get together and meet up. Comic Con International happens once a year and when everyone from around the country converges on San Diego, it is an excellent chance to meet fans that you would never meet in person. The event took place a Dick's Last Resort. They had a screen showing movies and you would never guess what they were playing while we were there. The Dark Knight. I don't know…
