This is usually the part when people start screaming.
Welcome to another installment of "Who's the bigger GEEK".
Well, I know I'm for sure near the top of my friends, but that's okay.
Another year of Comic Con has come and gone. This year I actually
had a blast and felt really excited about going - especially as much
as I did. I planned out my schedule a lot more loose (except Saturday)
and had a lot more FUN!!!
Went down Wednesday night for Preview Night, which unlike other years
of PreNight, was a complete cluster fuck of a turn out. Only people with
4-Day passes can attend, but I think EVERYONE that got one showed up
on Wednesday too!!! It was packed. So I bought everything I planned on
getting that night so I wouldn't miss any Exclusives and headed home to
be ready for Day 1.
Day ONE (Thursday) - Super fun and relaxed. Way better crowd. Saw everything
I wanted. Sat in on a TORCHWOOD panel. Bought a couple of small things.
Took tons of Pixs!!! But didn't overdue it.
Day TWO (Friday) - Great day. Packed but still fun. Sat in on a
Coming Attractions / Trailers panel. AWESOME!!! Ran into some friends
(as per usual) and met for some cocktails at the Hard Rock Hotel after
the Con. Didn't want to get to crazy - busy & long day Saturday.
Day THREE (Saturday) - Had Stef come over early so we could go get
breakfast and down to the Con for the 11am HEROES panel, we were both
DYING to see. She had never been before so it was treat for both of us.
Stood in the loooooooooooooongest line in the world but still managed to
get in, probably because the Hall they have it in holds 6500! Yikes!!
The panel was great - the whole cast was there, they did some Q&A, but the
coolest thing was they showed Season 3 Episode 1 in it's entirety, some 8 weeks
before it comes on TV. All I can say is AWESOME episode!!!! A great one for
the series to come back to.
Walked around after that, opting out of the LOST panel. Got Stef some free shwag
and bought some stuff. Left and grabbed a bite and a nap. But headed back Dtown
for a premiere of THE ROCKER staring Rain Wilson (Dwight from the Office).
On my way to the theater, I see SYLAR going into a liquor store. I rush in behind him
and nervously ask for a picture. I don't get star-struck but did in this
case for some reason. It was brief but super cool. Hit the theater, saw the free flick
and Dwight himself came out to talk to the audience. Very cool guy. Home to relax
and reflect on a kick-ass Con.

Vacation maybe over but I still have Less Than Jake coming up.
