Comic Con 2011, Day 1
Jul. 22nd, 2011 01:05 am...in which I remember how much I hate lines.
- Slept in and got up about 7 to see if I could secure my tickets for next year since there wasn't anything I wanted to see that badly in the big halls. Short answer? NO. The line was so long by the time I got there that I knew it was impossible. I'm not sure I'm going to try any other day, either.
- Went to a smaller room which had panels for Planet of the Apes (the comic book). It was a fabulous discussion, actually and the panel was very engaging.
- Stayed in the same room for Deus Ex, Human revolution. Again, absolutely fascinating discussion regarding the future of cybernetics. The game looked very dystopian, but I can see it happening in our lifetime if things don't change.
- Patricia Briggs panel was fabulous! She's someone I only recently discovered who writes urban fantasy novels. I highly recommend her Mercy Thompson Series and her Alpha and Omega Series. She was funny, told great anecdotes, and was down to earth and just lovely.
- Went to lunch at Nobu. Very delicious, if quite chi-chi.
- Returned and made a run through the exhibition floor, where I picked up some lovely steampunk jewelry as well as a couple of Christmas pressies. Score!
- Tried to get back in to see the TV Guide panel, which Matt Smith was supposed to be on, but the line was ridic, so I instead joined the insane line for Batman, Arkham City. Managed to get in for most of that as well as Voltron Force (I LOVED that cartoon as kid!), followed by Pen and Teller hilarious).
- Returned to the hotel and had dinner in the hotel restaurant (OMG, slow waiters are SLOW)
- Am finally back in room to prepare for tomorrow, which will be an early and LONG day. *sets alarm for 5 am - ugh).
And apologies to everyone whose comments I have not yet responded to. I'm not ignoring you, I just have VERY limited internet time and so I spend more of it posting drabbles and updates and checking email. I promise I'll catch up once I get back home to reliable internet. ♥
