Yes, we went to Comic-Con last Thursday and Friday.  Yes, I took lots of photographs.  No, I didn’t post here timely, though I had a few tweets and Facebook updates.  Spent the weekend on another web project that has a set go-live date coming up, so that’s been taking priority.

Comic-Con was great fun as always.  Going two days allowed us to spend more time at the sessions and not feel like we were missing too many of the booths.  A four-day pass would have been nicer, but we knew prior obligations would keep us from the weekend stuff.  Maybe next year.

Our celebrity autograph this year was John Barrowman of Torchwood.  Celebrity sightings were numerous.  Toys include a model of the Tardis, a Max bobblehead, a Comic-Con exclusive of Ninja Joe the Egg, and lots else.

Really loved the one CLE session I was able to attend.  Kinda upset with the organizers for scheduling two others at 10:30 in the morning when Comic-Con and the convention center were incapable of processing crowds fast enough to get people in the doors by 10:30 in the morning.  Also a tad upset with the Peanuts people for promoting a special Snoopy figurine commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the moon landings, then being unable to deliver.  Manufacturing defects don’t cause false announcements, bad management does.

Still happy with the experience though, and props to the unfortunately renamed SyFy for going all out.  Free shirts, a themed restaurant (offsite), lots of swag of every variety.  They really set the standard for the other studios and networks in promoting their shows.
