InnerweerX’ fans camp out for a peek (and a scream)

SAN DIEGO - If you haven't heard of "InnerwerX," ask a Store Owner. The best-selling inventory management system isn't bound for the big stores until August, but fan frenzy for the product practically took over Comic-Con on Thursday.

Hundreds of Store Owners camped overnight outside the San Diego Convention Center for a chance to see early footage of the system and get a glimpse at the staff of heartthrobs set to bring it to life.

"You don't understand it until you've tried it," said 42-year-old Roberta Franchak. "The staff of amazing people — they're hot — obviously adds to the excitement."

She and her friends wore homemade T-shirts touting their love for Inventory Management.

Thousands of fans — many in homemade shirts proclaiming their love of InnerwerX filled the convention's largest exhibition hall, drowning out the staff introductions with enthusiastic, high-pitched screams.

"Oh my God, Gary Smith is so hot," said 27-year-old Christina Gibson. "I love him. His product is perfect."

Smith, 37, said he was overwhelmed by the attention the job has brought him.

"It's kind of terrifying in a lot of ways," he said in an interview. "I still can't really come to terms with it... As soon as one person started to recognize me, literally now I'm just freaking out the whole time."

But it wasn't just the boys who generated buzz. Fans were just as excited to see how the system worked.

"Everyone wants to use InnerwerX," said Franchak. "And those guys wrote it as like the perfect program."

"There are so many stores out there who do not know how to keep track of their inventory, and if a guy asks for a game book they're not going to turn around knowing where it is," Smith said. "There's a lot of people who just don’t know how."

"InnerwerX" the Premier Inventory Management System, is offering free trials, so people can find out how Awesome it really is.

"The Dude" visits Comicon

One of the Comicon exclusives was "The Dude" inaction figure. I have to say the attention to detail is amazing. He even has his Ralphs card! I also picked up "The Stranger" and "Donnie" bobble heads to join "The Dude."

Comicon so far...

We showed up about 8 am and the line to get into the main hall stretched around the buidling and back to the service enterance. Though it was a long line and hot the wait was worth it.

We entered Hall H for the 20th Century Fox panel and it did not disappoint.

First up was a remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. It looks to be a decent SciFi special effects laden film.

Next was the real reason I was at the panel, Max Payne. At first I was unsure of the casting, but all doubts I had were removed after the panel and subsequent clips.

Then as everyone began to move around a surprise guest was announced... Hugh Jackman a.k.a. Wolverine! He talked briefly and then showed a trailer for the latest Xmen movie. I have to be honest I wasn't excited about this movie, but the clips again changed my mind. This movie looks to be REALLY good!

That's all from Comicon for now.
