Preview night + 4 days of Con = exhaustion and a lighter wallet. 4 day passes were $75 this year. They’re jumping up to $100 next year! How I wish I was still a kid and get in with a child’s 4 day pass. Crowds, toys, freebies, and a huge sensory overload: that’s what Con’s all about.
Who’s ready for the late July madness that is Comic-Con?! I sure am! Went to Preview Night last night and had a total blast wandering around the floor looking at various vendors, shops, and the massive amount of freebies.
I’ll be heading out to Con soon, so here’s my schedule for the next couple of days:

Going to see the Twilight panel today? Best of luck to you: people have been lining up since yesterday afternoon. Yes, yesterday afternoon! The panel’s not until this afternoon. By the time my friends and I got our badges, there were tents, futons, and lounge chairs laid out for Twilight fans. Madness, I say.
Don’t believe me? Check this out. This was around 3 PM yesterday. Madness! I wonder if it’ll be like this for other panels. I know it was like this for Heroes last year.
See you on the floor! Today, my sister, Lester, and I will be wearing matching “It’s Super Effective!” Penny Arcade t-shirts. The other days I’ll be running around with Lester in his armor. I’ll be constantly updating Flickr with pictures every night/early morning at my SDCC09 set. Also, for those from dannychoo.com, hopefully we’ll get a meetup in between Con madness!
Larry Bird and Earvin “Magic” Johnson are two of the greatest players in NBA history. When The Game Was Ours takes a look into the most important era that shaped the way we now experience professional basketball.
Ever have that day where you want to relax like you’re in a cafe? Well, the album Acoustic Latte by Every Little Thing is the next best thing!
The Quiz Show 2 will take you on a journey full of twists and turns. This show holds absolutely nothing back.
Before Elvis was the King of Rock ‘N Roll, he was a struggling musician. He was just like any other guitar man of the day but people say there was something… special about him.
Since 1999, Thrice has been pushing the boundaries of their music. The band announced going on a “long break from being a full-time band.” Since their farewell tour is off and running, I’d like to take a sentimental look at one of the bands I grew up with.
