SDCC 2008 posts Sunday. Last day of SDCC. Typically Thursdays and Sundays are supposed to be the laxer of the four days. All four days were sold out, so even on Sunday, there would be a proverbial packed house. My goal for that day was to go to the Supernatural panel. That was the panel. The panel= If I didn't get to see anything else but saw that panel, it'd make my day panel. The thing that would make this interesting is that they were holding the Smallville panel right in front of it. … [Read more...]
Comic Con 2008: Saturday
SDCC 2008 posts So my Friday kicked off the weekend pretty awesomely. I got to meet and talk with some creators and artists that I like. I left early again to get to the convention center. The first panel I wanted to scope was the Heroes Panel in Hall H. I knew that that was another panel that would be on people's radar. So I got in line for that. It snaked around the building, way past where it was for Watchmen the day before and kept going down the marina walkway behind one of the hotels … [Read more...]
Comic Con 2008: Friday
SDCC 2008 posts After becoming that much wiser after the first day, I leave earlier for the Con. My first stop is Hall H, and I laid odds that that line would grow and quickly since the panel I was keen on seeing was for Watchmen. And I was right. Trish was already in line. Which is another thing people were cool about, because we're kinda all in the same boat of being understanding but likely to hate the person that jumped in line with pals and caused you to just miss getting in. I … [Read more...]
Comic Con 2008: Thurs
SDCC 2008 posts So my first foray into the uber geekfest that is the San Diego Comic Con began Thursday. While in the years past I have been there in spirit and vicariously, this year was the first time I was there physically in person. Of all times for it to be a first would be this year when it was sold out again. It would have been optimal if I could have surfed the floor on the astral plane, but I get ahead of myself. … [Read more...]
Comic Con 2008: Quick Snippets
SDCC 2008 posts Highlight of today? Hugh Jackman as a surprise guest at the 20th Century Fox Panel for Max Payne and The Day the Earth Stood Still Panel. I was there for Max Payne [the clips they showed...brutal. Niiice.] Hugh came out at the end, straight from Australia. He told the group they'd literally just wrapped Wolverine. Hugh was pumped to be there; strike that, he was amped. He said there was no way he was going to miss bringing some of the X-verse to SDCC [he also … [Read more...]
Where in the World is…
I am in San Diego. I arrived yesterday. I hadn't been asleep since I woke up at 4 am the morning prior and I got what sleep I could during the trip over. I figured with a 4 hour flight to California, I could manage. Except Delta messed up with the type plane they were going to cart us over in and we were sardined. I can sleep just about anywhere as long as I'm comfortable. I had a hard time sleeping. And then stayed up until, hell I don't even know. … [Read more...]
