There was no way the expo was going to top last year, so I think they focused on making a better show. No lock outs this time. Actually, it seemed to move pretty well Friday and Saturday. Lots of crowds, obviously, but they kept everyone moving in an orderly fashion.

I should just tell work to funnel all of my pay cheques to the comic book expo at this point...

I really do enjoy the local comic book and entertainment expo. I don't have to go anywhere to see many of the actors I enjoy watching on TV and in movies. This year was insane, but in a good way. Well, I suppose that depends on whether you got in or not. As someone who had no idea what was going on with the fire marshal, I had a good time. It was ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm even more exhausted than yesterday and it's not like I did anything either. I guess just being in a huge crowd can really suck the energy out of you. Still, a good day.

( CCEE Day 2 )

Saturday morning was set tour day. There were several choices as to when you could go, the first being the ungodly hour of 6:45. We went at 8:15, my logic being it was still early enough that it wouldn’t be a packed tour. Though, I think it didn’t matter. The con packs the same amount of people into each tour.

If you were expecting to see photos of ( Read more... )

Thursday was the first official day of the con. On Wednesday you had the chance to pre-register and I swear like half of the con going fans arrived Wednesday night. The line was super long, snaking down one hallway and up again and then finally down the stairs. When my mom and I finally made it up there, we received our shiny passes, our wrist ( Read more... )

I consider myself to be a Stargate fan, but I'm not a hardcore Stargate fanatic. So it was a little weird spending five days with all these people who really do love the show. They know this show forwards and backwards and inside-out. Still, it was fun.

The first two days were non-con days, and while the third did involve an official locations tour ( Read more... )

I missed you internet. A week away never felt so long before, though you guys certainly talk a lot. ;-) But I had fun, going back 480 entries aside.

I have a bunch to blab about but I gotta organize my pictures first. Gateworld is getting its coverage of the con up on the web faster than I can, so for the curious, that's what I did for four days. ( Read more... )

Being the sad geek that I am, I elected to watch Stargate: Continuum rather than seeing The Dark Knight with some friends. I'm not sure what that says about me. It was all I could think about at work. :-)

I have to say I enjoyed this DVD movie much more than The Ark of Truth. The other one was stuck tying up old story lines so there wasn't much you ( Read more... )

Had an exam yesterday so I didn't get a chance to see this until now.

Wow. It looks like Stargate: Continuum will be even better than Ark of Truth. Because now the writers aren't stuck tying up a plot. They can go crazy! And go crazy they did, if this trailer is any indication. I can't wait to see this. Jack's back and it seems like he's actually ( Read more... )
