Comic-Con Recap: Sunday

Sunday left us with the whole day to shop! So we were able to explore the exhibit floor and find fun new artists to support. My favorite had to be Tara Mcpherson. I know she’s not a “new” artist, but she was new to me. Her work was absolutely beautiful. I was also lucky enough to meet Gris Grimly, another extremely talented artist that dedicated a book to my nephew. If you are a parent, definitely check out his whimsical & dark children’s books.

As we walked out of the convention center for the last time, I couldn’t help but feel this overwhelming sadness. My good time was over. It was beyond crazy and exhaustingly maddening, but it was the time of my life! It was at that moment that I decided I needed to come back next year.

So it’s already in the works! Can’t wait to continue the tradition next year and hopefully share it with all of you again (only better)!

Comic-Con Recap: Saturday

Oh Saturday. You were batshit insane and then some. But I loved every single second of you. If I could relive any day out of the 4, it would be you. Let’s start from the beginning, shall we?

I woke up at the butt crack of dawn (5am, to be exact) in order to secure a good spot at the LOST panel. When we arrived at 6am, the lawn was already slammed. We sat around, made new friends and played some trivia with the ODI. I also took a nice cat nap on the grass. Before we knew it, we were starting to move into Hall H for the last ever LOST panel. There were no words for the excitement I felt, but maybe this video could give you an idea:

Comic-Con Recap: Friday

Friday was our first day where we all had panels we wanted to attend. However, we were 6 people with 6 different fandoms so we decided to split up in order to maximize everyone’s day. I chose the Coraline, Flash Forward, 9 and District-9 panels. Boy, was it a long day! We started off believing we wouldn’t get into the Coraline panel at all because of the massive line, but were able to score 3rd row seats to the right of the stage. So stoked! While waiting for the panel to begin, we notice that Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood’s rebellious teenage vampire, Jessica) was sitting directly behind us! We asked her for a picture and she was the absolute sweetest girl ever. She was very meek and quiet – she spoke so low you could barely hear what she said. Total doll. And that hair? Beautiful!

The Coraline panel was mind-blowing. They showed behind the scenes clips from the DVD of all the meticulous work that went into creating the stop-motion flick. I could not believe how tedious it is and even more so  – how passionate all these animators are about their work. They love every second of it. It’s such a beautiful thing to watch! Everyone pick up a copy of this DVD – such a timeless and amazing movie.

Comic-Con Recap: Thursday

Hello everyone!
I’m back in the good ‘ol MIA, but so so sad to say that my Comic-Con adventure is over. The 4 days flew by in a whirlwind of madness. I have never slept or eaten so little in my life. And I have never been happier. It was truly the best birthday I have ever had.

I was considering just making one epic Comic-Con recap post, but it would be too content heavy. So I decided to spread out the posts by day. Today? Thursday.

In Flight

Guess who?

Unfortunately, our connecting flight to San Diego from Atlanta this morning was delayed due to not one, but three last minute gate changes. Because of this, we will probably be arriving in San Diego a little later than expected, but as a token of their apology, AirTran gave us free in-flight wifi!! This is truly the best thing ever (especially during a 4 hour flight!).

So I am coming to you straight from the sky – how crazy is that? I don’t have to tell you guys how excited I am to be traveling with all of my closest friends (miss you Elsie!), but I have to say I am also frightened of what awaits us. I have already been getting a massive amount of tweets showing the pandemonium that is currently taking place outside of the convention center due to Twilight and Holy Jeebus! Despite not attending the New Moon panel, I should have still made the executive decision to pack full-body armor. Craziness.

Really funny? There are a bunch of fellow CC’ers on the plane with us. We have some dudes behind us that have not stopped stressing out to each other about panels. I just want to whip around and slap them because they are, in turn, stressing me out. Don’t rain on my parade, fuckers!

Anyways, I suppose I will stop rambling now. Being on planes makes me anxious and claustrophobic so any form of distraction is highly welcomed (i.e. a long, incohesive, rambly blog post). It seems like I will only have wifi in the hotel lobby so it’s not looking good for me in terms of blogging daily while in San Diego, but again, follow my Twitter! I’ll be updating (aka: spamming) as much as I possibly can.

Namaste!
