The San Diego Plan: Saturday
Posted on July 10, 2005
Jesus Christ, my head hurts. Stay off the booze kids. It makes your breath stink and it’s only gotten me laid, like, three times.
Saturday marks my last day at Comic-Con. I’m flying out early Sunday, so I won’t get a chance to head to the convention center. Let’s see what there is to do on my last day…
