Comic-Con Bound!

The day has finally arrived! Tomorrow morning I’ll be en route to San Diego to attend Comic-Con 2009! I couldn’t be more excited and I really will try my best to blog if possible (don’t know if I have wifi at the hotel or if I’ll have the time!). One thing you can count on is my Twitter. I’ll be live tweeting as much of the event as possible so you’ll want to be keeping an eye on it throughout the rest of the week.

Edit: As of this morning, I have been asked to help contribute to DarkUFO‘s live coverage of Comic-Con! I will be live tweeting from their twitter account throughout the 4 days, so you can check ComicConLive for my reports as well. I will still be posting from my personal account though so make sure you have both added! Thanks for the opportunity, Mr. ODI!

For all those friends I have made out there in Twitter/Blog-land, I’d love to meet up with you! If we seem to be in similar locations or going to the same panels, please reply to me or send me a message on Twitter! Don’t be shy! 😉

For those interested, I plan on attending the following panels:

Summit Entertainment’s New Moon Panel
2:15-3:15pm

This one depends on what time we are able to get to the Convention Center as our plane lands at 11am and I’m sure it’ll take us awhile to pick up our rental car, check in to the hotel and make our way over to the center. I’ve heard crazy Twi-hards have been sleeping on the premises since yesterday – so I’m not sure if I’ll make it in and also not so sure if I will want to endure the torture that is screaming, hysterical tweens.

Showtime: Dexter Panel
5pm-6pm

I will most definitely be here! Love Dexter and can’t wait to see what they have in store for us! Hoping for a Season 4 sneak peek!

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog
8pm-10pm

It took me entirely too long to watch this, despite countless friends’ recommendations, but I am so glad I finally did! I’m a huge fan of the NPH and this only made my love swell! If you like musicals and Joss Whedon, please check it out! You can find it on Hulu. I thought NPH would be there himself, but seems like it was just wishful thinking. Although (from experience), you never know who may show up where at Comic-Con!

Lovable Friday!

1. Partial Comic-Con Schedule Released!
1. Partial Comic-Con Schedule Released!

I don’t think I need to describe what Comic-Con is anymore or the fact that I am going next month, right? Yeah, I didn’t think so. This week, some of the heavy hitters of the television world announced their presence at Comic-Con. Interested into who will be in attendance and holding panels? Check out this link for the schedule complete with date and times, but you can expect to see Big Bang Theory, Dexter, LOST, True Blood, Fringe, Eureka and the much-anticipated Flash Forward. The biggest disappointment and definitely not something to love this Friday is that Heroes will officially not be holding a panel this year. They will have “a presence” (whatever the hell that means) and with this presence apparently comes a sneak peek at Season 4. I’m super bummed because Heroes panels are known as being the best of the entire convention – I was really looking forward to participating in one. Oh well, let’s hope this presence is a damn powerful one, right Heroes fans? 😉

Birthday Fashion Planning!

aaaaathrwyqaaaaaan0-cq

I can’t believe it, but next month we’ll already be heading to Comic-Con International in San Diego to celebrate our geekiness & my 2_ birthday! I remember when we first bought our tickets last year and how far away it seemed. Now it’s right around the corner!!

Besides all the fun we will be having in the actual convention with our favorite stars, I also plan on celebrating my birthday nightly (bwaha!). Augi and I are lucky enough to have 4 of our closest friends joining us on the trip and as if that wasn’t great as is, a bunch of my California dearies are also going to be meeting up with us to join in on the fun! Hopefully we’ll be hitting up some fun spots every night and I want to make sure I play the part of the birthday girl. This means only one thing: cute outfits!

1. Trip to California!
1. Trip to California!

Next week the hubs and I will be heading to the west coast to join in the festivities for his cousin’s high school graduation in Folsom, CA. Although we will only have one day to enjoy the amazing-ness that is San Francisco, I will take it! The hubs grew up in the Bay Area so no doubt his heart strings will be pulled hard and tight – can’t make any promises that we will want to come back! 😉 This also means that Melificent will be devoid of any posts next week, so try not to miss me too much! Hopefully I’ll return with some great posts about my trip. On an aside, I have no idea what to pack for our day in SF! This Miami girl does not know how to handle drastically changing day-to-night weather! Yipes!

Comic Con 2009

comicconpressI know I made mention of this in my old blog, but I figured since it is only 4 months away (!!!!) I could bring it up again here on my new pretty spot. This year, I will be attending Comic-Con International in San Diego to celebrate my 2_ birthday! I cannot be more excited for anything. Ever.

For those of you who are not familiar with Comic Con, it is ultimately a comic book convention that turned into so much more. It’s now probably one of the biggest pop culture events in the US housing all sorts of toys, art, and games along with plenty of appearances from celebrities that feed into the geek culture. Basically, it’s like Disney World for nerds. And it is fun. And we are going. And I’m so excited. Because, yes people, I am a nerd.
