So, another Comic-Con is done. It was really fun this year and I didn't overspend. I'm learning how to do this fiscally now.
The hustle of this event never gets old and it was a bad ass experience. Let's me share with you the biz.
- The goal was to get the Glitter 'N Gold Jem doll and let me tell you, it was not easy. In fact, I waited over 4 hours in line to get her. Then, it got really interesting because I was trying to get 2 of them, however the limit was one. So, this cute geek helped me out by getting the second one for me. I also helped him by giving him a kiss (jk) I got him a Boba Fett figure.
- I met a few people who follow me on Twitter and Facebook. One guy could actually tell me about all the Wonder Woman posts I wrote.
- It was super crowded this year. Tons of people.
- I saw two students I mentored over the years. One from Murray State and one from USC.
- I watched the Agents of SHIELD pilot. It's going to be awesome!
- I love working the PRISM Comics booth, it's truly a great experience to be around LGBT comics and creators.
- The Gaslamp area in San Diego never seems to be prepared for Comic-Con.
- Over 2,000 people camp out overnight to see 1 minute film clips. Just think about that for a minute.
- Preview Night, should be called Hasbro Night because everyone goes to the Hasbro toy booth on Preview Night.
- I'm not feel the Superman/Batman film. Where's Wonder Woman?
- Gay geeks are truly amazing.
- The Gays in Comics panel wasn't as good as it could've been. A couple of egos spoiled the whole bunched.
- The Comic-Con staff needed more training. They never seemed to know what was going on.
- There were a lot of writers panels that are really good.
- Packing your own lunch is key.
- The best times to walk the floor is on Sunday after 4.
- Celebs love to drink.
- I am tired.
I'm glad you had fun. I want to go, but the crowds would make me claustrophobic. It seems like every picture I see is full of people packed like sardines in a can. I'd hate to be in something like that too long.
