AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Okay, so I am going mildly crazy and stirring about like a kid waiting for Santa Claus. In just three days, I will be attending Comicon...apparently the granddaddy of all comic book conventions, in my beloved hometown of San Diego. WOOO! Okay, so that said, my anticipation is crazy insane. I truly don't know what to expect, but I am excited about the possibility of the being able to see some of my long time faves as they talk about their movies in "panel" style.
I have already been mildly schooled by one of my best pals Sean, who is a Comicon veteran and attendee of all the events since they began. He has told me what to expect and basically how maneuver and plan for things. I know once I have my badge, it is over to Hall H to see Keanu Reeves and cast as they talk about his and Jennifer Connelly's new movie, "The Day the Earth Stood Still." I've seen the previews and it doesn't look like your parents version. Next, I will bide my time and wait and wait until the opposite end of the convention time spectrum, to the last panel, which will be Warner Bros as they feature Rocknrolla featuring another fave, Gerard Butler. I haven't seen the previews on the big screen for this, but I am sure will be good, after all GB is in it.
Since I have a place to stay (my parents digs in East County San Diego), I will be taking the trolley to the convention center to save myself the agony of finding parking and the agony of traffic afterwards. Of course when day 1 is over, I am sooo going to feel like the nerd that I am (truly!) when I call my mom to pick me up. Go ahead, it's okay to laugh. She and my dad know that I am a superhero on the Trolley, but without armor, it can get hairy at night, so I will take my chances with being picked up by mama instead.
Day 2 should be fun as well. Having been able to explore the convention floor the day before, between KR and GB, I will probably head do whatever and then go and line up around 10:30-11:00a for the Frank Miller presentation panel of "The Spirit". Now I have been a Gabriel Macht fan about a day longer than a Gerry Butler fan, so after all these years, it will be cool to see him in person too. =) My only dilemma is that I also watch the show Ghost Hunters and Jay and Grant will be doing something around the same time in a much smaller and more than likely completely packed room. Decisions decisions...awww, if only they could all be that good.
Any who, I will try to blog about it here and possibly on myspace, since i don't blog enough here for anyone to really check it a lot. Wish me luck on seeing everyone. My only disappointment is that the cast of Terminator Salvation will be there Saturday and I couldn't get a pass for that day, which means no Christian Bale. Guess I will have to wait for the next batman....
