Realistically it might take a year or 2 before we get there, but it is on the list !

Me to !
So nice to hear young kids (not sure her age) really appreciate great classic music !

I have a feeling you are the one where she first heard these bands :)

All my metal head friends cannot understand how I like the Mama's and the Papas, but I seriously get goosebumps when I hear both California Dreaming, and Monday Monday :buttrock:

She just turned 21 on May 19th.

Guilty as charged. :D

Good music is good music, no one genre has a monopoly on quality. You'll find everything from classical, to ACDC, to pop, to punk, to high energy Euro in my collection. I don't understand people that only listen to one style of music. :sly2:

But there's nothing like classic rock!! Usually I'll pop in Pearl, Rumors or Tapestry while I'm painting. :buttrock:


Lou have you ever listened to Jeff Wayne's Musical Interpretation of The War of the Worlds?

Exactly right Jesse. Good music is good music. But I believe the music of today will never compare to music from the 6-/70's etc
Who is going to remember Black eyed peas or pink etc in 30/40 years time like we remember elvis and the beatles and jimi hendrix

Ves ... give this a listen!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8JLqsbK5V0

This is my FAVORITE music of all time, Jeff Wayne is BRILLIANT, if you keep going on the videos, Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues (Knights in White Satin) sings the reporters thoughts ... he comes in about 6 minutes into this video.

The alarm went off at 7am as Dr Alex had been very clear that we would meet at the con 30 mins before the doors opened in order to beat the crowds, but before even considering leaving the house, my personal fuel, a cup of tea, was needed in my Marvel cup!

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009225.jpg

And the other side so that Thor isn't neglected ;)

03-29-2009, 04:25 AM
So Rockette (Steph) and I then jumped in the car and our day had begun!

We first drove past some drought ridden palm trees

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009023.jpg

Then a very important place for any SF mates who are planning to one day visit, it is just 10 mins from our place

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009010.jpg

Thoughts turned to Scottie as we rolled past Sexy Land.....

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009012.jpg

And a tourist attraction for non Victorians, one of our trams....

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009022.jpg

Rocket
03-29-2009, 04:26 AM
Then, a sign appeared in the distance....WE HAD ARRIVED!!! As we grew closer, an eyebrow was raised.....

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009033.jpg

False alarm!!!! But 10 metres further and we knew we had arrived!!!!

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009029.jpg

We parked and were aghast and the queue we were confronted with!!

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009038.jpg
http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009037.jpg

Rocket
03-29-2009, 04:26 AM
A few quick phone calls to locate Dr A and Vessie and we were ready to begin our adventure!!

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009071.jpg

As we entered the very first thing we faced was this! Surely a sign??? Well not once we saw the ridiculous prices.....

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009042-1.jpg

So we began to walk and Vessie immediately found a present for Bamfer

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009046-1.jpg

The girls were quick to pose with Rorscach....

Rocket
03-29-2009, 04:27 AM
Then Steph and Ves took a pic together....

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr161/Rocket43_2008/Supernova2009049-1.jpg

Doc and I then agreed, first order of business was to find Whilce Portacio and David Yardin who were sharing a booth. We got there but alas, the organisers hadn't calculated the required space correctly so Yardin moved to Artists Alley to allow Whilce to work. And what was he working on as soon as he started inking?? Juzzy's Angel!!! It was a wonderful experience to see a master at work, especially on a piece we had commissioned!! Dr A had to shut me up after Whilce shook my hand and we began chatting as I was a blubbering mess!!

After putting in some requests with Whilce, we headed off to find Yardin, and along the way soon realised that Watchmen was going to play quite a part at the con...

Great thread - glad I stumbled across it finally! I usually just hang out at the Comic Art/Giclees section but saw Rocket's (aka Rod) post referring to the con thread and checked it out.

Loved the photos! Great to see pics of other SF Aussie members and put faces to names :) At least I'll know what you look like if we're able to catch up for lunch when I visit Melbourne 24-28 April.

I also thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the art "treasures" which Rod and Alex scored at the con - well done indeed! I was particularly impressed with the Havok piece by Whilce (congrats Rod) and the Jack of Hearts by David - awesome work!

This thread is making me look forward to Supanova Perth in July with Dave Gibbons as one of the main comic creator guests - woohoo! I was lucky to arrange a commission with him which I hope will be available for collection at the con.

And, since people are posting pics, here's one of me with the comic creator guests from Supanova Perth last year after we'd finished dinner (Left to Right - Howard Chaykin, Joe Jusko, Tim McEwen, Gary Chaloner, Me, David Yardin and Ben Templesmith at the back) -

And another photo, this one from San Diego Comic Con last year of my visit to John Byrne's home after the con -

Hey Rod,

No problem mate, I hope to see the Havok in person one day - maybe when I come over to Melbourne during 24-28 April :)

As for San Diego Comic Con last year and my post-con visit to John Byrne's place - it was a truly memorable experience (big thanks to my good mate Jim Warden for arranging it!). John was a gracious and considerate host and took pleasure in showing me around his amazing home.

I took quite a few photos of John's incredible collection of comic-related "stuff" including original art, action figures, statues, etc. You can see the photos here - http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryRoom.asp?GSub=64631

There's also photos of dinner with Playboy Playmates and models from the San Diego trip (all safe for work :)). Oh yeah, there's a few photos of some comic artist types as well ;) Those can be seen here - http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryRoom.asp?GSub=64609

Best,

Royd

Thanks guys! All the pics of you and the fun you were having put a smile on my face this morning.

I would give anything to enjoy a CON with you mates one of these days!

And I must add!

The commissions you guys got were amazing. I am not just saying this, but they are some of the greatest CON sketches I have ever seen. And I have seen my fair share! Bravo! Great Scores!!! :buttrock:
