Well, I tried to live here - Comic Con San Diego #Final Issue

Lo and behold, the exit.

It's typical that just as you reach an exit, you remember something that wasn't on your to-do list...

You remember that comic book that you came here to buy and got sidetracked by a bunch of other comics you saw...
You remember that you promised to come back at 5 to see if that curmudgeonly artist that refused to autograph your comics is in a better mood, like his assistant promised...
You remember that one question you forget to ask when you had your turn at the mic during the panel...
You remember that you saw some old toys offered at a better deal than any you've seen online or at your local comic shop...
You remember that you're missing a bag...
You remember that your smartphone is quiet and realize that it was taken out of it's case...
You remember you brought your wife and kids with you - where did they go?...
You remember that you should've taken your friend's advice and not eat anything INSIDE.
You remember that the curmudgeonly artist was supposedly a nice guy but turned out to be a real prick...
You remember that you had actually donated money to said artist when he was having health trouble in the past...
You remember to tear up every single comic you own that that artist ever worked on...
You remember that you should've brought a bigger bag to carry all this 'stuff''...
You remember that you may have spent the money you held back to pay for parking...
You remember that your credit is at risk of going over the limit...
You remember that you got the phone number/Email of that woman dressed as Witchblade...

Most importantly, you remember that you were here and all good things must come to an end...
For now...
Until next year...

Roll end credits...

Stay tuned for my imagined 'Special Globe Trekker Extra'...
