Comic Con Wrap Up: Day 3

Saturday is usually the busiest day at Comic Con, but this year it seemed to be relatively calm. Please note: seemed. We woke up bright and early at 4am, stumbled into our clothes and jumped in the car. What could possibly have had us up and at ‘em at such an hour? No one else but the boy who lived: Harry Potter.

When we plopped down in (the already massive) line at 5:30am, we were not fully functional and definitely not looking forward to sitting stationery for the next 6 hours. But we were troopers. We napped, we gossiped, we tweeted, we photographed and before we knew it, it was 10:30am and we were being moved into Hall H.

And my sinuses rebelled.

My nose just erupted into hot itchy mess that made me want to rip it off my face and not even a Claritin could help. This lasted the rest of the day. I seriously had moments where I thought I could possibly be allergic to one of the two spectrums: nerd or hot men.  Because Saturday was full of both.

Comic Con 2010 Wrap Up: Day 2

So you may be wondering how I fared on Friday after my crazy rockstar night on Thursday. To be quite honest, I don’t know how I made it through the day. In fact, I’m pretty sure I almost hurled while waiting on a street corner for friends. But I strapped on my big girl panties and soldiered on!

First on our to-do list? Another Tron: Legacy press event. We made our way to Flynn’s Arcade after breakfast at The Broken Yolk. That’s right, Flynn’s Arcade. They had transformed what I figure was an abandoned storefront into the legendary arcade that houses the Tron game. They really went all out for this one and had us walk through a dark tunnel where we entered an insane room covered in futuristic strip lighting. To our pleasant surprise, all the actors were just casually hanging out (minus Jeff Bridges). We walked around the room, admiring all the details before Rosy decided to get Michael Sheen’s (Underworld, Frost/Nixon, Twilight) attention and I’m so glad she did. He is quite possibly the most delightful person we met on this trip. He willingly gave us these awesome giant bear hugs (I love hugs) and kisses and was just such a joy to be around. I really just wanted to pack him into my pocket and take him home. So if you are out there, Michael Sheen, let me know if that’s possible.

Comic Con 2010 Wrap Up: Day 1

Hello, everyone! I’m back from Comic-Con and have been thrusted back into reality. I have to say, I had a pretty amazing time, especially since this year was a little different: I attended as press, helping my good friend and fellow blogger, Rosy, from Accidental Sexiness (check it out!). This pass allowed us entry into certain pressrooms as well as access to the front of ballrooms to get photos during panels.

It was such a great learning experience. I hope to be able to attend more events like these in the near future so I can share them on Melificent. I was able to meet a lot of great contacts and I have a very good feeling about the future of the blog.

I’ll be at the Smashing Pumpkins show (!!!)  on Tuesday, so come say hi if you’ll be there too, and then I’ll be on my way to San Diego for Comic-Con! I am beyond excited and especially can’t wait to share my experiences with all upon my return.

Unfortunately, this means that Melificent will be experiencing radio silence until next week. However, if you follow me on Twitter, I will be trying my best to live tweet the entire experience or at least until my cell runs out of battery.  😉

Ciao!

ps; Go watch Inception!
