Ran into Earl Alexander (voice of Louis in “Left 4 Dead”) and we got to chatting. He is going to be doing an interview with us tomorrow. Yay!

Check out the Princess, a game tournament and signing by the guys behind NewGrounds and the video games Castle Crashers, Alien Hominid and Game 3. All at The Behemoth booth #5029 at San Diego Comic-Con 2009. This video is one of my freelance gigs at Con this year. I was also hired by Rifftrax to film their panel (a rousing success).

Boomer’s Day Off Co-Creator and Jump Leads writer/creator, Ben Paddon at Comic-Con 2009. Ben’s a good friend of mine, so I thought I’d film a quick vid for the fans of his web-comic, Jump Leads. Ben actually ended up selling out of his Issue 1 print. Congrats, Ben!

Hooray! Comic-Con is here again. To celebrate, I have posted the first half of a famous Con tour I taped with Mike Nelson back in 2007. This was originally for Stage6 back when I was the Creative Producer at DivX. In case you didn’t know, Mike is famous for his role in Mystery Science Theater 3000 as well as the wildly successful new Rifftrax. Enjoy.

I will be attending Comic-Con this year with a Press badge and plan to do a little work for Rifftrax as well as Behemoth Games. My schedule is pretty flexible, so if you want to meet up send me a text message. If you don’t have my number, just send me an @michellekenobi on Twitter. I will also be attending X-Sanguin on Saturday night (a tradition of mine). See you there!

These were taken on Kidian’s camera. Many thanks to him for making me a folder of them on my computer before he went back to Japan. Since he’s going to be deployed all over for the next year, I uploaded them for him. They’re available on my MySpace:

You gotta be logged in to see them, I believe.

Enjoy!

Well, I am thoroughly exhausted from Comic-Con 2007. I have so much to talk about, from parties to interviewing Rosario Dawson, to talking about what’s happening next.

Unfortunately, I don’t have time for any of that. I WILL link the Rosario Dawson interview to you here though. Enjoy!
