LLOYD KAUFMAN brought us to Comic-Con San Diego this year and it was pretty much amazing! 2 years ago, I was barefoot running around Topanga Canyon in an animal print skirt and fur bikini top filming 'B.C. Butcher '. I play 'Anaconda' the hot valley girl. The film was directed by Kansas Bowling at 17, was picked up by TROMA ENTERTAINMENT and premiered 2016!
You will have fans, actual fans. (Ok, this guy is actually dressed in caveman clothes for some other reason, but let's just say it's for B.C. Butcher.)
You will freak out, and forever be obsessed with, and probably professionally frame, your comic-con name plate.
James Gunn will not respond to your tweets to come see your panel because he's too busy... And actually doesn't know you. Which sort of makes you a stalker. (Note: James Gunn is a Troma graduate and made a gazillion films at Troma before Guardians of the Galaxy. I want to be like him when I grow up.)
You will be absolutely swarmed by people when you walk around the convention floor... But it will be because Stephen Amell and the cast of Arrow just got to the Warner Brothers booth. And you will look at them longingly.
You will feel so glamorous and glorious that people want to take photos with you. Which is because Lloyd Kaufman basically won't take photos for people without making sure you get in it because he cares about your future.
You will gain precisely 33 new Instagram followers, even though you thought speaking at Comic-Con would give you at least 3k new followers.
You will meet the real Ivy Doomkitty, who as it turns out, is a not so distant relative to Lloyd Kaufman. (Please note, the actual Ivy Doomkitty was only seen at this booth for 1 hour, but Lloyd gracefully filled her place on occasion and certainly grew her fan base, because, look at this!)
You will ride the escalator up and down for quiet time cause everywhere else is so busy and security won't let anyone anyone stop for more than 10 seconds unless they're in a line to get a signature from someone famous... like yourself, of course.
You will make $125 a day selling DVDs for 5 bucks each and you will be able to buy an $8 cookie from the convention food line and not even worry about it.
You will take your favorite photo of all time with one of favorite creative partners because you know someday you'll look back at this after you've made a million projects together and remember your first Comic-Con. (Guys, this is Kansas Bowling, female director.)
