Well, we're off to Comic Con tomorrow as proper press and everything. We have the pro camera, the solid gold contacts, the press accreditation and the business cards, and now all we need is a pro-looking mic block like all the big entertainment presenters have. Now, these don't come cheap, but you can knock one up with a few easy steps.

Step 1 : Take a normal kitchen sponge and remove the scouring bit. I thought about leaving it on so that I could do last minute nail buffing but then I thought, what would Joan Rivers do?



Step 2 : Cut a whole in the sponge for the mic to go through. Better get your mum to do this because craft knives are sharp.



Step 3 : Voila! You have a mic block! It already looks awesome and we're not even finished yet!



Step 4 : Next, disguise the fact that your block is made of kitchen sponge by covering it with some spare box. Again, mums are better at this.



Step 5 : Marry the foam block and cardboard together in a perfect erm, marriage of card and sponge.



Step 6 : Add your kick ass logo to the block, and you're ready to go, with just one final step...



Step 7 : Do a practice interview!



So there you have it, we're ready to go!

More details are being released every day for Comic-Con. They have already tentatively hinted at a full Heroes panel, as well Dollhouse and Dr.Horrible's Sing-a-long-blog, so I'm excited about those, they also have a massive list of fan stalls which are going to be set up. Most excitedly - Kingdom of Loathing! Now I don't really know what they'll be doing, maybe selling merchandise or whatnot (how much do I want a KOL tshirt? Answer - very much.)

There will also be a stall by the California Browncoats who I think gossi knows and I'm pretty sure there'll be some sort of meet-up planned, though the unoffical strategy guide to Comic-Con tells you not to even attempt this. Fie on you sirs!

I've currently ordered two tshirts from my own Zachary Quinto Spreadshirt shop   , one has a picture of Spock and the phrase 'under new management' and the other says 'I went to Kirby Plaza and all I got was this lousy stab wound'. They are the two geekiest things I own.

I've also realised that there will be a free shuttle bus to the convention centre from quite near the hotel where we're staying which is good cos we had visions of it being about 100 mils away. "But it looked so close on the map!"
