Comic Con 2012, Day 1
- So this morning was a slow morning program wise, thus I slept in, getting up at about 9 am.
- My first con thing to do was check out the vendor floor, which was PACKED. I swear, this con gets more crowded every year. It's rare that I wish for a sword so ppl would avoid me, but this morning was one of those times. I did, however, manage to find the Steampunk jewelery vendor where I often buy fun Steampunk stuff. :)
- I also picked up an adorable plushie Dalek and collected some swag. *glee*
- I'm not sure I'm going back to the vendor floor again this trip, though. *shudder* Not without a sword, anyway. ;)
- Lunch was here in the Marriott hotel, after which I wandered by the line for Hall H, which was packed. Not in the mood to stand outside and swelter, I opted to try the Indigo Ballroom, and was able to walk right in and get good seat. *g*
- The Voltron panel was fun! We got to see some exclusive pages and vid for the upcoming books/movie.
- Power Rangers was.. okay. They're certainly enthusiastic. :)
- Hotel Transylvania! Utterly adorable-looking movie with a very cute premise. I may have to go see it.
- Wilfred. Weird little comedy show starring Elijah Wood, who was at the panel. (Yes,
lijahlover, I got pics. They are on my phone. *g*) Wilfred is a dog, played by a human and the humor is...crude. I did laugh, though, and the cast is clearly enjoying themselves.
- Archer. I've never watched this but I may start. Yes, the humor is also kinda crude, but it's looks like a pretty sardonic little series. We saw the first episode of the next season, and though I know nothing about the show, it was funny.
- Rif Trax! This was the whole reason I went to the Indigo Ballroom in the first place. I love these guys and they are always hilarious. This year they MST3K'd a film about safety in the home that was...awful. The main character, a crossing guard/free lance architect, was captured by aliens, who gave her magical powers - the ability to know when children are in trouble and rescue them? And trust me, I'm making it sound a lot better than it was. Heh.
- The crowd trying to leave the convention center was INSANE (I took pics but they are also on my phone, although I did share them with
lilyseyes by text) so I escaped to my hotel and decided not to go grocery shopping tonight, as I usually do.
- Plan for tomorrow? Ballroom 20. *eyes clock* Which means it's time for bed.
I hope everyone's okay! I don't seem to be getting my LJ or IJ email notifications, so if I don't reply to a comment, don't start cursing me until next week, k? ♥
Edit: And I almost forgot. Ran into Stan Lee, comic book legend, in the lobby of my hotel last night on the way up to my room. He looks great!
