Sunday at SDCC

Sadly our time has come to an end...

The last day is always so bittersweet. You can feel things start to wind down and slowly return to "normal". I spent my last day alone -Brandon was down for the count. I really wanted to catch the Supernatural panel in Hall H, but didn't have it in me to stay the night and wait in a monster line. Luck was once again on my side!

I managed to literally walk right into Hall H and have a seat, just minutes before the panel started. It was great to see "my boys" again and the gag reel never disappoints. I love how witty and fun the actors are, I love the interactions with the audience and I love how they truly appreciate their fans. 

Misha Collins was seen in the early morning handing out coffee to fans who had camped out overnight. He worked with RandomActs.org to brighten up hundreds of fans and thank them for their dedication.

As soon as the panel was over I got an alert from the Nerd Machine that Zachary Levi would be doing a Smiles for Smiles ( where you can get a picture with him for a $20.00 donation to Operation Smile). I literally RAN over to Nerd HQ to try and get in line before they capped it. I had been trying to attend a Smiles for Smiles session all week, but never made it over before they closed the lines down. I made it there with a few minutes to spare!!!! I was so pumped to be able to meet him and get a great pict as well. When I got up there, they were saying that Zac had lost his voice and couldn't talk with people. That actually spoke volumes about his character though...he never HAD to donate his time and take pictures. So doing this and feeling crappy made me love him even more.  

It's a photo of a photo, but you can see how awesome it is. 

When it was my turn I thanked him for singing for me during his panel. He remembered me and said he was honored :) Then I asked him if I could pinch his face for the picture and he told me to "pinch away".  He was so awesome, humble, kind and amazing. That picture is framed and on my desk at work. It makes me smile every time I look at it.

On my way back to the convention, I stopped to check out some of the exhibits in the lot next to the buses. I had just enough time to catch the Sleepy Hallow ocular rift experience.

This guy took the hair pulling a bit too far.

 Then I headed into the exhibit hall and worked my last shift at Artists Alley. Said my goodbyes and then it was all over. In the first few min after they announce that the hall is closed, it is strangely quiet. Then it's like they flip a switch and the vendors start packing up as fast as possible. Everything must go! It goes away just as quickly as it appeared and I am left standing there already longing for next year.

Since our flight home wasn't until the following day and Andrew was FINALLY back from deployment ( he arrived that day); we met up with him and hit the beach. We were all exhausted and ready for some time to just sit and relax. We had an early dinner and headed to bed relatively early too.

Next time, I'm spending more time here.

Until next time San Diego!
