Comic Con/Ryan's Retirement

Matt and I spent the afternoon/evening in the Gaslamp...first to check out the craziness of Comic Con and then to help celebrate Ryan's retirement for the HTTF unit.  This was my first time visiting Comic Con and it was crazier than I anticipated!
 I almost felt out of place not being in character!
 While many were inside the different exhibits at the convention center, many walked the streets along Harbor Blvd and onto 5th Ave.
 It was a security nightmare, but amazing people watching!
We got a front row seat for it while enjoying dinner at Barley and Mash. There was a 2 hour limit on our table, but we maximized every minute.

Then it was on to the rooftop bar at Rustic Root for Ryan's party.
 We had a nice setup along the balcony so we could continue to watch the festivities down below.  Even the Joker made an appearance!
 It was a fun night with Jeanie, Monet, Ryan, Adam and several of Ryan's friends and family who helped in celebrate.
We made one last stop at Moonshine Flats for some country music and BBQ.  Cheers to you Ryan and Happy Retirement!
