Am stuck in standstill traffic on the 405, 53 miles north of San Diego, heading toward Comic-Con, and the driver of the white Rav-4 directly to my left is wearing full Heath Ledger Joker makeup.
Thank you, that is all.

And this is exactly why I want to go next year: the obsessiveness.
I think you’re the perfect person to cover this! Godspeed, may the force be with you, etc.
Can we get a picture?
Deitcja, there’s sadly no way to transmit that from my vehicle. I can tell you, however, that the car in front of me has a “tolkien forever” license plate.
I was working in dowtown San Diego in 2003 and got to witness some scary moments too (try selling a movie ticket to someone dress as C3PO?! or taking the tramway with different creatures?)! But everything was forgotten when I had the chance to randomly meet Ernie Hudson (Winston from Ghost Busters)! Yeah!
As someone who cosplays videogame and anime characters and dresses up for Star Wars openings, I’d LOVE to go to ComicCon. Alas, I lack the funds to get myself from New Jersey to San Diego.
Should your Blackberry or cell phone have a camera, please utilize it.
Thanks!
Snarf, we’re just way too low tech here. Now the car in front of us has a license plate that says “www.maskedmoviesnobs.com”. Quick, someone look that up and tell me what it is!
This reminds me of the time that Beatlefest and a Chicago area comic-con were going on in the same hotel several years ago – I had on a Beatles t-shirt and a few buttons (nothing out of the ordinary at Beatlefest) – and a woman dressed head-to-toe in cornflower-blue-and-gold lame (with coordinated face makeup) gave *me* a “WTF” look.
Whitney, the masked movie snobs website is chock full of anonymous, masked people complaining about bad movies. “Fighting a neverending battle against bad cinema” is the tagline. There’s a music snobs section, too – whee!
Website says “Fighting a Never-Ending Battle Against Bad Cinema”. Bunch of guys wearing masks or bandanas covering thier faces criticing movies, DVDs and music.
Whitney, love, what are YOU wearing? Your Princess Leia metal swimsuit? Your Halle Berry Catwoman outfit? Do tell!!!
That is awesome. It’s things like this that make me proud to be a fan. I wish I was there!
Haha, please keep this up all day!
Donner, I am currently dressed as an entertainment writer who’s been stuck on a blazing hot highway next to the Tijuana bus for 3 and a half hours.
Thanks for the website update, friends! I’ll check it out if I ever escape Camp Pendleton’s sweaty clutches.
