My Comic-Con 2008 Experience!

Ok, I procrastinated enough. Let me tell you about my Con experience:

I will warn you that this blog is not nearly as detailed as horseyjesse's! I'm pretty sure she would not mind you reading her blog, so here's a link to her Con blog: very detailed blog about Comic-Con 2008!

Let me start by giving horseyjesse a thank you shout out! If it wasn't for her, I would have not found out about Comic-Con. So Thank You! Thank you especially for letting me share that awesome experience that Comic-Con is with you =]!

Well, as you can tell from the shout out above, I found out about Comic-Con through my awesome buddy horseyjesse. When I made my decision that I wanted to go the 4-day pass was sold out! I was going to initially buy single day tickets, but that would mean that I would not be able to attend preview night (the night before Comic-Con was officially open). I ended up finding a link that said that volunteers were needed for Comic-Con. If you volunteer you would get into the event for free and you had the privilege to go to preview night. All you had to do was volunteer for three hours every day that you wanted to attend the event. I went ahead and decided to volunteer.

Preview night was really cool! We got to explore the exhibition hall and see what we could expect of the event. It was so cool because we got some experience on getting free stuff =]. Comic-Con was pretty cool! We got to go to pretty cool panels and we got to explore the exhibit hall and we got tons of free stuff!

The volunteering experience was really interesting. I felt that for being a huge convention, the volunteer program was unorganized. The first day they didn't know what I was supposed to do. It got progressively better. It was a cool experience, but I will buy my 4-day pass for next year.

The Panels were so awesome! Even though we had to sit through some panels that we didn't really wanted to see, the wait was well worth it! We even enjoyed some of the panels that we had to sit through.

The long wait in the lines kinda suck at times, but they were well worth it once we got super cool stuff.

It was so much fun to geek out with tons of people! I enjoyed taking pictures and I was being a kid lol!

I got to meet a few celebrities. I met Cliff Bleszinski and Josh Ortega. I met Jason Statham. I met Antony Johnsonst and Ben Templesmith. I met Jerry Robinson. And I kinda met David Zayas lol.

Overall, Comic-Con was super fun!!

If you ever have the chance to go to I would highly recommend you to do it! I can't wait to go back next year!!
