San Diego, Here I Come! Comic-Con 2008
Last year, I had the time of my life at Sundance. This year, I am checking another pop culture experience off of my wish list. I just registered for a 4-day pass to Comic-Con 2008, which is taking place in July down in San Diego.
For those who aren’t giant geeks, allow me to attempt to paint a picture of Comic-Con for you. Imagine a huge convention center. Now picture thousands of people roaming row after row full of booths and vendors…promoting new comic books, unveiling new superhero toys, etc. But above and beyond that, there are panel discussions that everyone clamors to attend, because previously unreleased information about and footage from certain shows and films in progress are unveiled (panelists in prior years have included Kevin Smith and the producers and casts of Lost and Heroes). Dreamy, right?
Now, I have no idea how many women attend this thing. I’ve seen photos of both women and men in costume, but I will not be going that route. If anything, I’ll be the boring girl blogging in the corner with eyes open wide, taking it all with a smile and a laptop.
So I have several months to prepare, network and get some official JOpinionated swag made to dole out to new friends and fellow Lost fans. Are you or anyone you know going? If so, drop me a line so we can meet up!
