                      Insider host Kevin Frazier and me (Delores Fisher) First, let me say, "Thank you" to Insider host Kevin Frazier for taking time out for a photo. He is gracious and kind.(Updated with apologies . . . had another host on my mind when I wrote the original post).  I am a Kevin Frazier fan and was so excited . . .) Crowds have swelled up past the 100,000 mark as Comic Con International extends itself to the local general public with outside free venues and "give aways" and also to the world with international media coverage. Walking along Bayside or along Harbor Drive, "lookey loos" without tickets to inside Comic Con workshops, book signings, and guest appearances can still enjoy outside activities and events. Outside venues include the Interactive Zone and the Assassins Creed obstacle course, there is also a ""zombie infested" Walking Dead course with photo ops! Cosplayers are now out and about all day long. C

                     Hey ya'll, it's getting hot! (Delores Fisher) Tuesday was a relatively quiet sunny day with only a few hundred early bird Comic Con fans around the downtown Convention Center and on public transportation. Tuesday evening work crews busily constructed obstacles courses, sets, tents, and buildings during the night as the evening got really warm.                                                Night set up in front of Marriott Hotel This morning, Wednesday,  it seemed as if conventioneers had increased to about 1,000 people. Volunteers looked tired already and the work crew setting up various exhibits and interactive special effects seemed sparse this year as they work into the night. And temperatures are set to soar in the next few days. Local hotels have been joining in the festivities, so look up fans and see not only some of our city art but also artwork that embraces Comic Con.                                                           

 First let me say,  "Hello Moldova!!!!!. . .  newest country to join the Carpenoctum family.   Delores Fisher (a la Wendy Williams) sayin'    "How you doin'?" Comic Con is a yearly San Diego International event. It ranges from seriously controversial to the just seriously comical(sorry about the pun). Celebrities from social media, actors, authors, professional and amateur cos-players, comic culture experts, comic fans, film makers, religious protesters and "lookey-loos" single in a culture mas-up that is spectacularly diverse and at colorful. Comic Con conventioneers will hopefully be more aware and careful this year as they traverse the city funning it up due to the tragic loss of an avid fan last year. http://news.moviefone.com/2012/07/10/twilight-fan-dies-at-comic-con/ Summer break allows me the luxury during Comic Con week of a usually walking the Embarcadero during the day, enjoying various sights, walking with costumed crowds through d

                                                 Delores Fisher Summer 2014 Carpenoctum2 readers who also follow my sonictapestry blog  sonictapestry .wordpress.com/    know that I have been watching the FIFA World Cup and that I played soccer in jr high as well as high school in New York state. I had my favorite teams going into the World Cup matches, was surprised by the USA and Germany....Wow, Germany what team effort and performance. Congratulations!!! Although each of my blog sites has a specific and on occasion blended audience, writing posts for both occurs at various preferred locations in the San Diego/Los Angeles corridor. A select few local coffee shops tolerate my endless coffee refill stream as I "seat dance"  with headsets blaring Stax Record oldies. A HUGE shout out and thank you to Norman McWilliams fellow African American music specialist and administrator for my new Video Interview  website.                                                      

Kenisha thanks for the Alano club for the Arts Celebration invite. I am increasingly being given such receptive venues in which to perform my most passionate works along with others who view poetry, spoken word, and performance art as more than "just entertainment."                                                    Me (Delores Fisher) at the mic We had a small but festive crowd and what an event. Music, food, and in addition, several venders including Warren Williams "The Walking Cane Man" with a display of his custom-carved walking sticks.                                                         Warren Williams                                                        Warren Williams and me Poet and artist "The Watchful Stewart" dropped insightful, power words and knowledge on the audience. He also exhibited a playful, nurturing side that many of today's poets might want to observe, emulate.                                   &quo
