This year the Fanfiancé and I decided that we’d rather hang out in the exhibit hall instead of waiting forever in lines. We only had passes for Thursday and Friday, so it made more sense to try to see more stuff, and there weren’t too many panels we wanted to see anyway.
I caught the Comic Con Crud again this year (I’m afraid my body is going to make this a tradition), so I’m going to make this recap short and sweet. And in list format!
Celeb Encounters:
We saw at a distance:
1. Brent Spiner
2. LeVar Burton (we actually walked behind these two for a little while, hehe)
3. Seth Green
4. the cast of True Blood
5. the cast of Big Bang Theory
6. Virginia Hey (Zhaan from Farscape)
7. Gigi Edgely (Chiana from Farscape)
8. Val Kilmer (it makes me sad in my heart that he’s so pudgy now)
9. Kari Byron
10. Grant Imahara
We went to the Geek Girl Tweetup party Friday night, and I was sooooo close to Grant and Kari there. Unfortunately I clammed up and got so nervous. The closest I got? Grant was leaving, he looked at me, I smiled, he smiled, I couldn’t get up the nerve to say, “Hi, I’m Pamela! I love Mythbusters!” D’oh!
Met:
1. Mike Choi
2. Jason Palmer
Panel Attended:
1. Geek Girls Exist! (Yep, just the one. But it was GREAT!)
Party Attended:
1. Geek Girl Tweetup!
We had an awesome time, and I really loved getting to meet all of the fantastic geek girls at the party! I will end this post (and go hunt down some cold medicine) with some photographic highlights. If you’d like to see all of my SDCC 2010 photos, head over to my Flickr page!
HALP IT’S A FACEHUGGER!!
Phoenixes!
I love love love this guy’s sign for the Westboro Baptist counterprotest. Note he is in a Starfleet uniform. ;)
I saw this guy at last year’s SDCC, and I stand by my statement that he is the best Wolverine cosplayer EVER. He’s the perfect height, build, and is grumpy as hell. ;)
These guys were in line with us to get Alien t-shirts. :D
My precious, precious custom sketch by Mike Choi. This guy needs to be able to draw Phoenix in the comics, stat. And I fangirl his Wolverine so hard. :D
I couldn’t help myself. I had to get this Farscape print by Jason Palmer.
I feel like such a jerk, because I can’t for the life of me remember this artist’s name! I love the piece, though, it’s so adorable.
