Comic-Con International 2011 - San Diego, July 21-24, 2011

Great to see you had another fun trip to SD, I saw the picture Cass posted on his DA, there has to be a better way to do the whole pre-reregistration deal, maybe a lottery system or something?

Lauren Faust on FB wanted the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic poster (only 5K of these were given away at SDCC) with all the characters in the series (even the lesser known ones), I asked Khaki if she would give it to her. She said that she would. I wasn't the only person that tried to get Lauren a poster, though.

What, Hasbro couldn't comp a poster for the creator of the freaking series? That's gratitude for you.

Looks like Sam Basset and Paddy The Pelican have joined Titan, Cypher and Super President in the rotation of WCE regulars. Um kudos? I guess.

I want to go back to San Diego sometime in the future but only because I lived in the area as a kid (Escondido, specifically) and want to spend a little time out there. But if a ka-jillion people are going to make an event pre-registering for 2012's convention, they can have it. I'll spend the time seeing sights, revisiting old neighborhoods and scaring up a dear friend of mine in Escondido.

Maybe 2013 will be better, no Twilight movies coming out that year could help matters just a little.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the Con, ORD...though I certainly don't envy you having to stand in that line for the pre-reg. It really just seems to get crazier every year, the rush for those. And that lass with the bra-less outfit? She had guts, I'll give her that!
I see you had a busy time getting to meet with some more famous faces, and that was cool you getting to meet Khaki and Lori again. Hope Lauren was able to get that MLP poster, you'd think she'd be entitled to one. Nice to hear that the Bloo costume's still as popular as ever, too.

Cass and Howard - Good to hear that you were part of the experience again too, aside from the aforementioned pre-reg chaos. I'm gutted that it was your last Con though Howard, but I understand your reasons for it. Glad I was able to meet up with you there last year.

I've already said this to ORD, but I have pencilled myself in for the 2013 Con. Just putting it out there.

On positive note BBF, I will be in San Diego every Con Year, but I will not attend. I will see you if you come in 2013.

If nothing else, the pre-reg experience makes for an interesting story.

I did. The trip was free of incidents, although we were stuck on the plane for a short time when we landed in Detroit. Seems that we arrived 15 minutes early and they weren't ready for us.

That's great. If I can get over, I'll be sure to track you down.

That I don't doubt.

Ccook, I am with ya on that one. After the way they did pre-register for next year, and the jacked up prices - this year was my LAST Con. I will be going next year (to be with those who still go, but when they are not at the Convention Center), but only to enjoy San Diego's other wonderful sights. I was stationed there, and I too know where to enjoy myself.

I'm pre-registered with Preview Night. All shall envy me.

Last night in the city tonight; my plane departs at 1:20 Pacific Time tomorrow, with a layover in Detroit. I should be home early Saturday morning Eastern Time. I'm assuming there won't be any significant delays. Been a heck of a vacation. Right now I'm going to log off and go seek dinner and adventure... probably more of the former than the latter but one never knows.

Have a safe flight home.
