Picures of Reagan, Midway and Nimitz as well as day 2 of Comic-Con are up at my Yahoo gallery. Unfortunately I got downtown too late to get pictures of Reagan coming in to port, so all these pictures are shot from the Embarcadero. Here’s the UT’s story about the arrival and the ceremony.
Some quick Con notes before I head down there again: Friday’s attendance was way above Thursdays. By 11:00 the show floor was far more crowded than the day before. Lot’s more people dressed up. Stan Lee was signing autographs. Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean’s Mirrormask looks stunning. The film’s not done yet, since Dave’s still compositing scenes. All the sets and effects are CG, and they’re simply gorgeous. They’re looking at a limited theatrical release in early 2005.
Later in the afternoon, while I was outside smoking a cigarette, USS Pearl Harbor (LSD 52)came into port, so there’s a couple pictures of her in there too.
Anyway, off on the Pop-Culture Death March again. Later.
