San Diego, Comic-Con International

My friend Josh has volunteered at Comic-Con for years and in April I thought, could I go? Should I go?  It is practically impossible to get tickets to Comic-Con since they sell out in minutes and one of the perks of being a volunteer is you are guaranteed purchasable tickets.  So knowing this most likely would be my one shot to go, I did it!  Comic-Con International happened a few weekends ago, and it was even better than I had ever anticipated.  I really love sci-fi TV & movies, and it was everywhere. I was in sci-fi nerd heaven.  Even if you can’t get a ticket, I would say it would be worth it to go because the whole area of San Diego near the convention center is transformed for Comic-Con and there are tons of booths outside of the event, parties you can attend and even celebrities walking among you. I have a few funny stories of my run-ins with celebrities down there.  I even conquered the dreaded Hall H and it wasn’t that bad (if you don’t go Saturday).

We even got a little sight seeing in.  We went to Coronado, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, and Sunset Cliffs.  I am pretty obsessed with the beach so that is where most of my photos are from.  I didn’t take too many at Comic-Con because I just felt there was no way to do justice to what I was seeing, it really is an experience!  We did go to eat at the Great Maple which I would highly recommend. I particularly would want to go back for their beignets with a side of lemon curd dipping sauce.  Yum!
