So this was one of the most exciting months in my life. After being on NG for 7 years I got to meet everyone involved and many more people from flash industry not related to Newgrounds. Let's see...
Kongregate.com staff, Mochi Media staff, Newgrounds staff, I-Mockery staff, Armor Games staff, Cyanide & Happiness staff, The Behemoth staff, creator of Line Rider Bostjan Cadez, DrNero; Fancy Pants Adventures, Afro-Ninja; Territory War, Luis; do I even need to say, k2xl; Boomshine, John Perazza; Erik the Juiceman, rtil; Flash Comedy Extravaganza, Krinkels; Madness series, Gel; Wink, The Swain: Blockhead series, uhhh the list goes on. As for celebs, Saylar from Heroes (whichever his name is), Kevin Bacon, Robert Downey Jr., Rosario Dawson and others. As you can see, it was a really wild month when it came to meeting people.
I was living with DrNero in San Francisco for a week where we got to see a lot of stuff and showed off Nuclear Eagle on a Wii to a bunch of people including a Wiiware staff member who liked the game. We also went to San Diego by the coast with a car and stopped by the Armor Games office where we slept for the night and played Guitar Hero 2 with two guitars. That was awesome. Each night at San Diego, well, two nights, we were out with many flash people from Newgrounds, drank a lot of beer and had fun with each other in many nasty ways. All verbally. Overally, everyone was amazingly nice and fun.
I was trying to avoid NG's Jeff because I gave him a bad review for 300 Queers and we got into a minor PM fight but we ended up having a great conversation at some random mexican bar. I drove 410 miles the next day and now I'm preparing for a 20 hour flight back home. I may be as far as in Eastern Europe but I ain't missing another Comic Con.
I also learned that my accent isn't as nearly perfect as I thought. It actually isn't nearly as good. Bummer. Practice makes perfect. God, my flight is leaving in 7 hours and I haven't went to sleep yet. Well, see you.
ps. I hate blogging. Seriously. But since everyone wrote about their Comic Con experience I went on to share mine.

I haven't blogged about Comic Con yet, I've only posted in everyone elses.
AND I GUESS I WAS THE FIRST ONE IN YOURS, HUH?!
You and Brad were awesome dudes, I hope to see you guys making more games together in the future. And don't sweat the accent, man. At least you were easy to understand. I know native speakers of English about whom I can't say the same thing, haha.
