Maybe Next Year
Welp, I missed Comic Con this year out in San Diego. I guess you could call it bittersweet. Bitter: I missed out on a LOT of fun, nerdiness, pop culture, video games, movies, celebrities, autographs, exclusives, etc. SDCC is a blast for a 100% nerd like myself. 4 days (plus a Wednesday night preview) almost isn't enough to take it all in. There's stuff going on every day and it isn't always the same line up. Different panels, signings, shows, events, all happening on different days to keep things fresh. I missed being out there amongst my people. Sweet: it saved me a ton of money. Once you've bought the passes, booked a hotel and a flight, and finally get to San Diego, you've already spent a lot of cash. Then there's the inevitable purchases at the convention which may or may not be limited to just one day. I usually have to start saving six months or more in advance.
I'm still not sure if I'll be able to go next year. There are so many factors I have to take into consideration. The most important of all said factors will be my job situation. July is a ratings month, so that alone will be a big hurdle to leap. If that proves to be futile, then I can write off the trip from the start. Money, of course, is a big one. There's also a BIG Star Wars convention planned for next summer and it's timing + location and my possible attendance to it will dictate if I can even think about making a trip out to San Diego.
Now it's Monday, after the Con and life continues. It was fun watching all of the updates and following all of the Con tweets. I really hope I can find a way to go back next year, even if it's just for a day or two.
I do have a new iPhone 3GS that I've been playing with all weekend. :D
