This photo was taken at the El Cortez Hotel in the seventies and I have no idea what happened to the other photos that were taken on that day. I am on the left. Check out that ‘fro! I was on assignment to cover Comic-Con for a local San Diego newspaper.
The Comic-Con International is now held at the San Diego Convention Center. There is little resemblance between me in this historical photo and me many years later.
The pose with the unidentified attendee was staged to reflect her portrayal of a Vulcan. The hands are in the live long and prosper position with the fingers split apart. At the top of the photo note the funky dot matrix printed banner (held up with masking tape) that reads: REGISTRAR.
