The Other Comic-Con: Pacey-Con 2010
While all the hipsters, geeks and sellouts were creaming their jeans shorts and cargo pants over at Comic-Con this past weekend, I was hanging at the other big convention being held in San Diego: Pacey-Con. For all you outside the loop nitwits, Pacey-Con celebrates the greatness of Pacey Witter, the most awesome TV character ever created for the most awesome TV show ever created, Dawson’s Creek.
It was four fun-filled days of basking in the glow of bad boy/romantic at heart Pacey Witter’s essence. He regaled me with stories of his life in the tiny coastal hamlet of Capeside, Massachusetts and also revealed the true nature of his three best friends: Jen is a BJ Queen, Joey is frigid and Dawson is gay. Then we hit the local bars and pounded shots of Sambuca. Pacey got really shi*faced, vomited several times and yelled repeatedly how he hated his father. On the final night of Pacey-Con 2010, he was gracious enough to invite all his dedicated fans back to his room at the Econo Lodge for a convention closing gala. I was the only one who showed, which was awkward at first, but it turned out okay as we ended up snorting rails off a hooker’s ass who bore a striking resemblance to Dawson’s mom, Gail. Weird, but epic. Hands down, the best weekend of my life.
Oh, and here’s a video that explains what Pacey-Con is all about. I can’t wait until next year!
