Comic-Conflict

By Borys Kit

There always seems to be a little tension that exists between the Comic-Con crowd that invades downtown San Diego and the roughneck/frat boy/military complex the inhabits the city’s Gaslamp Quarter. It’s like humans and Sand People on Tatooine; things could get explosive anytime.

L.A. Times pop culture writer Geoff Boucher ended up in the hospital after an altercation in 2007, and there have been a few others that have felt the city’s wrath in the past few years.

I was walking along the street this afternoon, passing several stores with a “San Diego Welcomes Comic-Con International” sign in the windows, when I strolled past  a patio with some men drinking beer. One guy, crew cut, big biceps, saw my Comic-Con badge and yelled “Whoo-hoo, Comic-Con!”

I whoo-hooed him back, then said, "You really hate us here, don’t you?"

"F*** you!" was the response.

If it had been later that night, I probably would have had a fist on my face.

My advice to fellow geeks: Travel in packs.
