Man, I didn't even realize that Comic Con was less than a week
away. I thought it wasn't happening till the end of the month
this year for some reason. Not sure if I'm gonna go this year.
It may come down to a last minute decision. Some of the panels
do look good this year, especially that of the 20th Anniversary
of The X-Files with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson expected
to attend, but not yet confirmed. My money is definitely on them
being there. This is the event no stars are dumb enough to miss.

Take a look at the panels this year. Sh*t man, they are making
it very hard for me to walk away this year. I wanna go to the
Veronica Mars panel! Duh!!

I wasn't able to get tickets two years ago and I haven't had
enough scratch to go back since. I will say that I'm looking
forward to the year that we all go and run into each other.
Penny Can Meet-Up party!

You know, every year, I always say that is my last year going to
Comic Con and I'm usually pretty good at sticking to my
word.....all the way up to like a few hours before the doors
open. All bets are off by then as I make a mad dash downtown and
through the convention center. Ha. I can't believe I ever did
the four-day thing. It was easier back even 10 years ago. To do
a four-day event now is never going to happen. One day is enough
for me. Sensory overload.

Coming in from out of town, I like the four day option (though I
usually have to skip Sunday in order to fly back). And my
senses and my feet can TOTALLY take the days and days of
wandering around.
But yeah, I miss how it was ten years ago as well, when you
could, if you needed to, spread your arms out while on the aisle
or walk into a panel that you were interested in (or heck, get
into a panel at ALL!) And the last time I went I started to
seriously party (ever go to the TRS parties, Chip?) so of course
I'm missing that now.
You know, they shot an episode of Beetleborgs at SDCC in 96 or
97 and it blows my mind how EMPTY the place looks... it's
freakish! It's like seeing pictures of your place from the day
before you moved in, "this place once looked like THIS?"
Oh man, you and I and old Mac hittin' the town together? Then
we could cause some trouble!
And I think my best friend (who I haven't seen in FOREVER) might
be at Comic-Con this year for Space Command, so naturally I
won't be there to see him. Just my luck.

It was also easier to horde as much swag as possible back then
as well. They even had better stuff if you ask me. Everything
from Posters to Comics that became collectible the moment you
picked them up. Nowadays, a lot of it is junk and throwaways. I
never did the parties and I didn't even know about the TRS
parties since I was very late to the game with that show. I'm
still on the fence about going this year. I will know by Tuesday
if that bug hits. Probably when I start seeing the endless
parade of Hot Chicks in their Cos Play attire will I suddenly
need to go. Haha.

Another motivation factor that I always enjoy is getting to test
out Demo's of upcoming games that are in the pipeline before
they hit the streets. The most recent demo's I played at the Con
were of course Batman Arkham City, SSX, Hitman Absolution, Tomb
Raider and of course Gears Of War 3. I highly doubt it, but if
they had working Demo's for both PS4 and Xbox One, with the new
batch of next gen games, I'd stop my whining and definitely go
this year.

Uh oh. I'm starting to feel the pull of The Con...........
It's beckoning me.
Must....resist....the.....temptation.

Stay strong, Chip... stay strong... with SDCC in town everything
six blocks out from the Convention Center will be vacant! It'll
be like Walking Dead without the Zombies! Think of the fun!
