I should have known things were going to be intense when I got on the bus and realized two women sitting across the aisle were already decked out in their New York Comic Con gear: cosplaying outfits (I did not recognize them), passes hanging from their necks, printed out schedules and a devout love of [...]
I’m by no means a con-virgin, but neither am I a totally experienced con-goer. That said, I’ve hit up both ends of the spectrum, from the primarily fan-based I-Con held at SUNY Stonybrook each spring, to the out-of-this-world media circus that is San Diego Comic Con. For that, ladies and gents, I tell you it [...]
We know you guys have been dying to hear us talk about random geeky stuff. Well, today is your lucky day. The Discriminating Fangirl now has a podcast! Woo!
Episode 1:
In which TDF Pamela and Amanda chat about San Diego Comic Con, the Geek Girls Network’s SDCC 2011 Geek-Out, and then devolve into [...]
San Diego Comic Con is less than a week away, and holy crap, am I just now making a post about it? Yikes! In my defense, I’ve been on like, three vacations this summer with various family and friends, and I need a vacation from all of these vacations.
This is just a friendly reminder from your friendly fangirl that San Diego Comic Con passes go on sale tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. Pacific (noon Eastern)! You can stalk the registration page get pricing for 4 day and single day passes here.
Comic-Con International: San Diego (Comic-Con), the largest comic book convention of its [...]
For the next five years, anyway. Crazy 4 Comic Con, quoting FOX 5 San Diego, reports that Comic Con International will stay in San Diego for the next five years.
I’m SO pleased to hear this, and not just because the Fanfiancé’s family lives near San Diego, heh. I love the feel of the [...]
[Editor's Note: Say hello to LamoreVincera, everyone! A friend of our own Amanda's, she has graciously offered to share her DragonCon experience here on The Discriminating Fangirl!]
On Friday, September 3rd, my 30-year-old self went and purposely lost my virginity. Today is Tuesday the 7th, and all I can physically do today is type while [...]
In the name of all things anime and manga, I attended AnimeFest’s 10th convention in Dallas, TX – and it was a BLAST. Seeing everybody having a good time (going with friends also helped with the positive feelings ^.^), people cosplaying in beautiful costumes, eating delicious Japanese snacks (pocky, rice cakes and ramune [...]
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 [...]

SDCC Woes
I wasn’t expecting to try to get San Diego Comic Con passes this morning. I was kinda broke, so I just gave up and figured I’d try for a couple of day passes later. Nevermind that I was fully expecting the servers to crash and burn once again.
So when I got an email saying [...]
