Guess what I'll be doing on July 17th?
Going to the San Diego Comic Con THAT's WHAT!
After deciding to go to the convention this year, I found out how hard it is to actually get a ticket ( badge). They sold out way before I could even get online to register.
I was planning on going to the convention even if I couldn't get a badge and just enjoy the off site events. All hope wasn't lost because they do open up a limited number of returned badges to sell.
BUT then....I get a call from my Aunt. She asked if I was still planning on going and if I had tickets. I told her about my plan to go no matter what. She tells me that she has a friend who has a booth and she would give us a few volunteer spots if we wanted them. HECK YES I WANT THEM! I had to fill out an application by a certain date and that was that. I've been told that I am in and set. I guess I will be getting more details next week. I am so excited I could pee!
Now the real fun begins. I have never been to a Comic Con before, let alone one this big. My head is swimming with all the things I will get to do and see. Naturally I go to twitter and start reading blogs on how to survive Comic Con. It seems that I need food and a good back pack. It also sounds like I will be in lines for days. Other than that I am really clueless.
Questions I have so far:
Do they show full movies there? I keep hearing about this hot movie or another that will be at the Con. I'm not sure if it's just trailers to watch or if they pre-view the whole movie.
I'm wondering about the panels. Some of those rooms look like they can hold thousands of people. If you got to see a panel and there are thousands of people there, how do you even know what's going on. I mean, is it worth it to wait and sit forever just to be in the same room as some of those celebrities? hmmmm depends on the celebrity I think.
Speaking of famous people. I wonder how easy it will be to get a picture with someone from my favorite Sci-Fi show? I would probably crap my pants if I got to meet a few special people. Probably not the best first impression, but I bet it would be memorable.
Now I'm off to figure out my wardrobe...
You are very lucky to be an insider. I am a SDCC newbie and I could't get tix. But, like you originally, I am still going and doing the outside events. I have read the same tips as you but still feel unprepared and overwhelmed. Hope to see u there. Lol
ReplyDeleteI love that you called me an insider! I'm still shocked I found a way to get in. I hear that they are going to do the re-sale very soon, so don't give up hope yet!
