TKRalf[TK] Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 So ummm yea... anybody else going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyInWhite[TK] Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'm not sure. I mean, we were planning to go Friday. If we can get a hotel (I'm on the wait list... stupid wait list grumble) for Friday night, that isn't 100 miles away, I'll stay 'til Saturday. However, the drive for one day isn't worth it. And Mark won't want me trooping the whole time, so that takes the fun out of that. But I'd like to be there for the Photo and some Droid Hunt action... Blah blah blah ginger blah blah blah ginger blah blah. What's your plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MClass Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I wish I was. Missed out on tickets this year, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobojuice Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Didn't Comic Con just become a huge corporate event that's been taken over by the film studios etc? Doesn't seem like something I'd like to go to from what I hear even if I wasn't thousands of miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Didn't Comic Con just become a huge corporate event that's been taken over by the film studios etc? Doesn't seem like something I'd like to go to from what I hear even if I wasn't thousands of miles away. It's become a "monster"! Its too crowded at times but I'm gonna miss it. I think every nerd, geek & fanboy should experience SDCC at least once. I remember my first time attending I didn't even know it was happening. I was in San Diego visiting a friend and heard it was going on downtown. I was able to get a ticket at the door and enjoy a day there. Its not that easy anymore. A portion of the following years tickets are sold out quickly during the convention and then its madness trying to get a ticket online a couple months later. I need a break this year after attending the past 4 years, especially with all those Twilight fans attending recently. Plus, buying a house made a huge dent in to my available funds for convention going. No SDCC or Celebration for me this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKRalf[TK] Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Well also the thing is once someone goes, they want to come back year after year. Similar to Coachella which I decided to skip in favor of Comic con. I'll be there Thurs-Sun but only at the convention itself friday and saturday only.

LadyInWhite[TK] Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) It is definitely a corporate studio takeover. Though i never complain about the Lego booth! I think they need two separate events. Oh wait, they do: E3. Grr. Disney pulled out and created D23. If not for SDCC, though, I would not have been inspired to join the 501st. For the past four years my son and I have religiously watched the group photo. Now that it is my turn to take part, I can't stand the thought of going! Esp. if I can't participate in the fun 501st activities. All the more reason to make it to CVI. Edited June 8, 2012 by LadyInWhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
