Magnet #884 - The FlashHmmm. I'm trying to decide if I'm coming back to Comic-Con next year.
This year was my virginal San Diego Comic-Con experience. Having done a couple of New York Comic-Cons, I kinda knew what I was getting myself into when I signed up last October for 4-day (w/o preview night tickets) - big crowds, long lines, tons of costumes. So, nothing really surprised me at the convention center.
We had a ton of fun, sitting through cuteboy panel after cuteboy panel, taking picture after far-away picture, and squeezing the floor in wherever we could, and we hit pretty much everything on our list.
I won't lie, we totally missed the big stuff - the Scott Pilgrim first sneak preview, the Harrison Ford/RDJ panels and a ton of fun activity and giveaways on the floor. But, I think that's the trade-off when you have to pick between either Hall H or Ballroom 20. And, I wouldn't really trade anything from the last four days.
Hmm, maybe the parties, though. We missed a ton of parties. Which was fine if you think about it, since first, we all know I hate breaking that fourth wall, and second, we're hoi polloi, and not A-listers. Besides, even if we made it in, I don't know that I'd even have fun there. (Well, except for maybe Zachary Levi's NERD party.)
So, do I need to come back again next year? Maybe not.
Do I want to come back next year? Yes.
But am I coming back next year? Stay tuned.

And don't forget Pacey-Con. We missed so much! But Lesson No. 1: We can't be everywhere at once.
I say YES to next year. Why not? If we can't be geeks, then where can we?
I know. I just need to figure out what my plans are, and if I can handle doing it again so soon.
From what I understand, though, NYCC is doing separate panels/sessions admissions for their show this fall - and I've already missed the cut-off. So maybe I'll be ready to see more pretty boys by SDCC2011.
